Secrets, lies, and a sweltering summer in a Canberra suburb... THE GRAPEVINE by @katekemp.bsky.social is a wonderfully written debut simmering with tension, about the secrets we keep from each other, and ourselves. I adored it. Publishing 13.02.25 with Phoenix Books. 🍇📞

Just saw a post from an author (I forget who, sorry!) talking about not being afraid to celebrate success. I agree but I also think one of the problems with social media is that people only post the good stuff, and it creates an unrealistic narrative. Sharing our failures is just as important. 🧵
