Aw Michael’s love for Carol is so sweet

“‘Just because your father didn’t make good on his threats doesn’t make the threats themselves any less traumatic.’”

This book has a lot of punchy one liners about family or work. The writing is quite good in that sense. Very clippable

Sasha does have a point about accidentally matching with a cousin or something if you don’t know your family. It’s something very real for those who are donor conceived

The desire to have a close relationship with your parents but also acknowledging that takes time and trust is so real. I fear that says a lot about me though

Not gonna lie I feel like you shouldn’t ask for the casserole dish back. Either buy a metal pan from the store or give them the dish. Asking for it back puts a lot of pressure on the other person

I feel bad that I read the title to the tune of We Don’t Talk About Bruno

While the moments to educate on Sri Lankan culture are nice, they do pull you out of the narrative a bit

Is the implication that the CEO had his parents’ jobs on his linked in?

This feels like an ode to New York’s Indian restaurant scene

I’d love a deeper dive on a cabbie’s opinion of ride share drivers

Heyyyy Bostonians and New Yorkers can love each other, sports teams be damned

“‘I’m still human, though my passengers seem to forget it.’”

At least we’re not shying away from racism from the boys in blue

Barely a few pages in and there’s already a body. You can’t complain about slow pacing

I feel like playing podcasts out loud is kind of a no no. Headphones?

I love that these two strangers are friendly to each other. And yes friendships wither if not tender to

You can’t dump someone you weren’t dating!!

I love that this fairy tale themed diner is just a common place in this book

The media will eat up a queer, non-binary murder suspect

I can’t believe that’s what a Test Kitchen is. That’s…mundane? MLM almost?

“‘Don’t presume my alphabet’” Is a rad line

If anything, I am intrigued

This book is trying to do a lot all at once, and I’m not sure it’s working (yet. To be determined). The sibling thing, the mean girls high school thing, potential drug ring (???), beauty industry and influencer critique, I can keep going

Is “worm, man” new slang? What the fuck

So Peter and Kyla huh. I can hear the conspiracy theories

I totally assumed Mikky was in college and that’s why he moved away

Boston does not smell like pee

This book feels like a fever dream

“If you could survive this peace, you got to dream. That was the privilege you found for. It was never a done deal, and it would never be enough. You would bury horses, hoping that under the weight of it all, your roots would grow strong enough that your children might be able to reach toward the sky.”
