Every single time Sarah Sherman urged everyone to get into the car for food, I absolutely lost it.

My young adult daughter and I loved "all my clothes are slightly Asian", too!

In the Cut, the novel by Susanna Moore is quintessentially New York woman with more than meets the eye. Made into fab film directed by Jane Campion in Meg Ryan's best role, in my opinion.

This is such a specific vibe and I’m here for anything Maira Kalman-coded! Humbly submitting Judith Viorst to the list of authors too.

One of my many Facebook groups asked "what book did you read at way too young an age" and in addition to the Flowers in the Attic books, the Judith Krantz books, I read Sheila Levine is Dead and Living in New York, and its sequel (kind of), David Meyer is a Mother. I remember a little bit of David, but not about Sheila. Those are titles you don't forget! In 1972 I was 7, but I'm betting I read it around 11 or 12.
