Congratulations!!!! That cover is amazing! I know it’s super early but if you could bring your book tour through Vegas I would die (after the event). No one ever comes through Vegas on book tours and I promise people of culture live here and we have cute local bookstores.

Listen, I'm gonna pre-order because you're awesome, but you need to know that I turn 50 in February, and though I've been hearing some variation on, you'll be dead by *insert age here* since I was 15, I never worried about it. But turning 50 has me worried about it. 😬 So this is both a measure of support for you and your work, and also me saying, fuck the trolls, I'm not dying by 50. Risks of renegade buses and whatnot aside.

I love how the cover art also gives the vibe of those 90s paperbacks, like Babysitters Club and the like

Beep Beep was my nickname in middle school because I rode my bright pink moped everywhere. Can’t wait to read this and nod enthusiastically and cry and chortle loudly at a book reading in the DC metro area. That subtitle is sublime.

I am definitely pre-ordering. What I'm wondering is whether it's better, for Lindy West (autocorrect turned your name into Money West twice before I got it to behave. So y2k!), if I pre-order from the publisher or from my local (Riverstone Books in pgh, pa).

Like, I'm not influential at all, but I am at my bookshop a lot (book clubs twice a month, too) and whenever I special order a book, I've noticed they usually order two and put one of the shelf.

You should pre-order it from wherever you like to buy books! I always encourage people to buy from their local indie shops. <3
