Maria Semple Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I am obsessed with the freshness and energy of SEDUCTION THEORY. It has a take no prisoners approach to “the novel,” which I find exhilarating... Subject mater also happens to be my exact sweet spot: a campus novel about star lit professors, married, both having affairs.

PEOPLE. This book is nuts! I read it in one night in a cross-eyed fever dream. The way Elizabeth Gilbert writes about co-dependency is so powerful and clear-eyed, I felt as if she was naming my soul… while in the grips of wild self-delusion. (So that’s a feat!)
