NO MORE FOMO
I've Entered My Golden Girls Era & I'm Not Mad About It ([link removed])

“When I was a teenager, I thought getting ‘old’ was the worst and most depressing thing that could happen to a person,” writes Christina Crawford. “I remember watching The Golden Girls growing up and thinking those old ladies ([link removed]) were so sad and boring, just sitting around their house chatting while playing cards in their muumuus.”

Oh, but then age came for her, as well: “As I’ve gotten older, my view on that has completely changed.” And I bet you’ll agree about her current view — I certainly do.

April Book Club Announcement: ‘Greta & Valdin’ by Rebecca K. Reilly ([link removed])

Our latest Scary Mommy Book Club pick is set in New Zealand, and it’s moving, laugh-out-loud funny, and adorable.

Meet Greta and Valdin. Their mom is Māori and their dad is a Russian immigrant. They are both in their 30s, queer, and feeling unmoored in their lives and their identities. They share an apartment. Valdin is unsuccessfully getting over a relationship that ended because of his mental health struggles — and he doesn’t know how to fall out of love or move on. Greta is obsessed with a colleague who is obviously using her to get work tasks done. But then, after a few other dating disasters, she meets someone new and intriguing at a party. And in the background, there is a substantial amount of family drama to keep them both distracted and occupied.

I just can’t tell you how much I adored this read. I wanted to stay in the world forever and continue following the characters after the last page. It’s so sharply written and thoughtful, but at its heart it’s a rom-com. It deals with heavy issues like queerness, immigration, family secrets, race, and reality, but with such humor and speed that it feels like a beach read. And it’s a debut novel! I can’t wait for you to spend a little bit of April with this cast of characters or to talk to Rebecca at the end of the month with you all.
