listener production i fell in love with being alone and i fell in love with myself you know before i had been like oh i'm a feminist and i don't need no man and whatever but none of that was probably truly real like i was still on some level chasing men

Thank

Thank you.

Well done.

Thank you so much.

It's such a weird feeling.

It's like everything I've ever thought and felt and learned from the hookup and my own life and my friends' lives, like just on paper.

And so it'll be really interesting to see how people perceive it and what they think.

What have you heard so far?

A lot of people who have read it have just been saying that they felt really seen.

I've had friends message me being like, I'm bawling my eyes out.

And I'm like, oh no, I don't want to make people cry.

One of my friends was like, I don't keep promises to myself and you write about how you should.

And I was like, no, no, no.

Like, yes, that's a good, like, that's a good thing, but I don't want to upset anyone.

So it's been really interesting because you just never know, like hearing what people relate to and what, yeah, they find kind of triggering has been really interesting.

Oh, doesn't that make you, genuinely, like I've watched it so many times.

And I spoke about it in the book, like when I was writing that chapter about when, what's the character's name?

Karen.

Yeah, when she finds the necklace and she thinks it's going to be the Joanie Mitchell CD.
