This book is so good—I can't speak more highly of a debut novel than this! Dark fantasy/dystopia, about a post-pandemic world where all men are infected, and only by using up the lifeforce of girls in captivity can they get a little relief. A dark view of life in a patriarchal world, by Liza Losada.

YOU GUYS! I just finished reading this, and it's so good. Midlife sisters just trying to do their jobs and they end up solving mysteries together. The writing is SO funny and SO smart, sharp, wise, poignant when necessary, engrossing. I'm not a mystery buff, but this has me in its clutches.

My "how many books I read" list is very short -- I read about 200 manuscripts of unpublished books but actually published, bound books? Ur. Fewer than 10. I'm reading as fast as I can, but I only have two eyes, and they have to work together. 🤓👀
