Who owns the story: the one who lives it or the one who tells it?
Who owns the story: the one who lives it or the one who tells it?
This one comes out March 10 and is at the top of my TBR.
The story follows three women whose lives are linked by one man, Calvin Boyer, in the wake of his murder.
There's Birdie, a woman on the run, seeking refuge on Whidbey Island, only to encounter a stranger on the ferry who offers her a chilling proposition for revenge... Then there's Linzie, a former reality TV star who has commodified her own trauma into a bestselling memoir. And finally, there's Mary-Beth, Calvin’s mother, who must navigate the impossible grief of losing a son who was also a monster.
Since I'm new to Washington, I thought it would be fun to plan a visit to Whidbey Island and see the setting of this book while I get to know my new home state a little more. Keep an eye out for an IG video if I am able to make it out there!
Hunger howls beneath the Hollywood sign.
Hunger howls beneath the Hollywood sign.
Written in a lean, line-broken style that mimics the rhythmic breathing of a predator, Open Throat is a deeply empathetic novella that bridges the gap between the wild and the suburban.
In the hills overlooking the Hollywood sign, a queer mountain lion keeps a watchful, hungry eye on the "he-humans" and "she-humans" below. When a traumatic event and a looming wildfire force him out of his thicket and into the concrete maze of the city, the story shifts into a breathless survival thriller. Does he want to eat a human or be a human?
The girl next door is a sociopath.
The girl next door is a sociopath.
This Memoir by Patric Gagne is a gripping look at life behind the eyes of someone born without a "moral compass." Gagne takes readers on a journey from her childhood, marked by a chilling lack of guilt and a growing realization that she was different, to her adult life as a therapist dedicated to helping others like her.
It’s a deeply human exploration of what it means to live with a personality disorder that the world largely fears and misunderstands. Her story challenges the "monster" label, revealing how she learned to navigate love, family, and social norms while managing the neurological void where empathy should be.

One phone call, a thousand family secrets.
One phone call, a thousand family secrets.
Told entirely through one-sided phone calls from our narrator, Luciana, to her older sister, Oye is a vibrant coming-of-age story that is, so far, excellent on audio.
While a hurricane looms over South Florida, Luciana navigates the figurative storm of her eccentric Colombian-American family. Specifically her grandmother whose medical crisis and hidden history force the family to confront long-buried truths. Listening to this feels like being on a three-way phone call with your funniest, most chaotic friend.
