The first being about a woman who works in a convenience store, but it’s a very whimsical story in its own way, and touches on themes of belonging and identity and fitting in. The second being a queer story about parenthood, identity and relationships.

I am not a stay-at-home mom secretly exploring sex work (Normal Women by Ainslie Horgarth), but I know a calling to motherhood and a fear of financial dependence. I am not an apparition stuck in time on the NYC subway after years of fighting for queer rights (One Last Stop by Casey Mcquinston), but I have felt adrift while searching for belonging. I am not manipulating a rich older man to live in his mansion and steal his pills (The Guest by Emma Cline), but I have been desperate and an unreliable narrator to myself. I should probably try to find a book about a man next I guess.

deadpan, subtle humor, slightly eerie and weirdly heartwarming (and 175 pages) starring Keiko, queen of Smile Mart

I can’t think of a specific moment because I’m an endlessly awkward person. I think a lot of times when we’ve said the wrong thing upon meeting someone, or have a tendency to put our worst foot forward, we get too caught up in our own thoughts about it to recover. Let other people hold the awkward feelings for you, if they feel weird that’s their problem. But you don’t have to feel weird for trying to connect to others in your own way.
