A Special Place For Women
A Special Place for Women by Laura HankinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hi, I wrote this! It’s wild and genre-bending and twisty, with plenty of comedy and romance (yes there IS some fake dating involved!). Think Never Been Kissed meets the insular society of The Secret History, with some Practical Magic vibes to boot. I really hope you enjoy it, and I’m more than happy to answer any questions about i Read more of this blog post »

| This was the Black Mirror meets The Truman Show crossover of my dreams. Both laugh-out-loud funny and legit terrifying, it made me want to throw away my phone (but then I obviously didn't). Set half in present day(ish) and half in 2051, Angelo just c ...more | |

| YES. For whatever reason, I've been guessing the twists in the last few thrillers I've read, but this one had so many great twists that most of them took me very much by surprise. I loved that we got two stories in one, with the book alternating betw ...more | |

| This book was stunning. Probably the reason that the word "sweeping" was invented. Just... brutal, impossible to put down, incredibly ambitious. Each chapter follows a new character and manages to create a whole new setting and protagonist quickly an ...more | |

“Why was there no fucking TrueDaddy? The answer was clear. Because men wouldn't fall for it. Not that they were smarter- Amara firmly believed she could trounce the average man in a battle of wits- but because they weren't primed from birth like women were, told that they could be anything they wanted to be while handicapped at every turn by invisible forces, told that they were more than just their looks while also culturally programmed to believe that their value was tied to their desirability. Men aged into silver foxes while women aged into obsolescence. And when you added in children, oh, that was when everything really went to shit. Because even though father stamped their children with their last names, the world didn't ask as much of them. No one really expected fathers to consider giving up their careers to put their children first, to stop managing a company and start managing a household. Women had to grapple with a choice that men never did while remaining uncomplaining and generous so that they didn't nag their husbands straight into the arms of uncomplicated lovers.”

“We are all so obsessed with protecting out child, aren't we?" "That's how we got into this mess in the first place. We want to paint a lovely picture that we hang over their window to block out how the world really works, to give them these lives. And to do that, we think we need to keep ourselves perfect too. But no mother in the history of the world has been able to protect her child forever. the world barges in through the front door eventually.”

“Or maybe Whitney could impress upon her daughter the thing that she was only beginning to learn—that women didn’t have to be perfect to be worthy.”
