Ummmmm I'm obsessed with her!! I never knew her since I haven't spent a lot of time in that part of Brooklyn, so thanks for sharing her <3
That quote about your first year of NYC being captured in amber is so so perfect. I get nostalgic for even the bad stuff about 2008 NYC. Hard to believe that wasn't written by someone who lives here, maybe people in other places get similar feelings about their adopted homes? Also I find it mind blowing that you've only lived in 3 apartments in 15 years in NYC, I'm on number 8 😂
I think the author lived here at one point! There were definitely some gems in the book but it didn't touch me deeply overall. (Side note, have you read Happy Hour by Marlowe Granados? THAT is a good NYC novel, I'm about to reread it!) And yes, I have been very lucky with living situations 🥲 so happy you could read about Sherita!!
