So great to read your follow up thoughts here on the Cup of Jo piece. And I agree on the comments there-- yes so thoughtful and worthy of tons of discussion.

Daisy! I LOVVVVEEEED your book. It really rocked my world and made me think about that period of my life in a hard but healing way and it was just… tremendous. Found my way to your newsletter via Cup of Jo. So glad to have found it!

I’m heading out for a trip with just my daughters, no husband for spring break which on the surface feels like… all work, no play, but I think to your point - even removing ONE stakeholder can open up different possibilities, even if it is another functioning adult.

Oh gosh thank you for this!! And yes- just removing one person from the mix changes things completely! Have a great trip!! PS I bet your daughters step up in some vague and not so vague way with you the only adult

Day was such a gorgeous novel. I love Michael Cunningham. His spare style is so captivating. I recently read We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman, and now I’m obsessed with her writing! I’ll have to pick up Sandwich!

I love the structure of Day! And you will absolutely love Sandwich- another winner!
