I’m turning Sunday’s screen-free (no phone, no computer, no tv) and it’s really upping my reading game. Spent yesterday with this collection and it was sooooo good. Got me in my lyrical feels about loneliness and connection. Devoured it! Thanks for your gifts @goldengxl.bsky.social

my book: SAD GROWNUPS = 17 stories about average people making bad decisions while trying to find happiness in a dying world. Pick up at your local bookstore or at Bookshop bookshop.org/p/books/sad-...

Please share for visibility - thank you!
Off white background w dark purple quoted text and green attributions - reads ““A powerhouse collection from a promising author.” —ALA Booklist “A distinct yet relatable collection of stories about aging, relationships, decisions and (dis)connections. This is a smart, sensitive and satisfying debut.” —Ms. Magazine Book cover - off white background w a series of horizontal rectangles spanning top to bottom - the rectangles are roy blue, violet, green, and a more muted gray blue -the color pattern repeats. The text reads “sad grownups” and “Amy stuber” in off white all caps. At the top there’s a blurb from Dan Chaon that reads “smart, funny, spooky, melancholy.”
