Portrait of a novelist facing the reality of her WIP after several weeks of working on something else. Just once could it be BETTER than I remember? Bless you for the fainting couch @brooklynwriters….

I will get up, though. I will. But only because Virginia Woolf says I must.

“And let us pretend again that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story.” Virginia Woolf

FRIENDS LIKE THESE hits shelves in paperback today!! A @gmabookclub Buzz Pick in development with @amblin — grab a copy for your beach bag and find out why the @denverpost said: “The ending is a shocker” and @sallyhepworth so generously called it “utterly unforgettable.”

Too much loyalty—that’s the real problem. Best friends are supposed to stand by you no matter what mistakes you make or how deep your flaws. They disregard your occasionally disagreeable nature and your eccentricities and accept the whole of you. That’s the beauty of true friendship. But close friends can also let you get away with too much. And what feels like total acceptance, what masquerades as love, can turn toxic.

A twisty, thrilling roller-coaster of a novel, FRIENDS LIKE THESE is also an emotionally resonant mystery that examines the risks of blind loyalty and the harrowing complexities of unconditional love.

Thank you so much @harperbooks and @harperperennial for the beautiful new cover!!

So this might not have exactly been the trip I had in mind many months ago—bit more work than play in the end. But I still love you, LA. ❤️.

And maybe it’s true: Sometimes you don’t get what you want. You get what you need. ‘Til next time my beloved Laurel Canyon.

So I don’t have actual PROOF that these “party momsters” were inspired to cut loose by A GOOD MARRIAGE, but I’m going to take credit anyway. Not ready to go all the way yourself? You can always read A GOOD MARRIAGE this summer from the safety of your own home! Bless you @nypost for this. And party on you momsters. 💞

(H/t to @cristina.alger and @brendajanowitzwriter for flagging the article! Link in my bio!)

“After years of child care limited by the pandemic, camp is in session and full-time nannies are back…parents are cutting loose indulging in sex, drugs and big nights out while their offspring canoe.”
