Status Updates From The Maidenheads: A Novel

.. I was hoping I would see her. Instead I had seen myself, and that felt like enough.

..just texted her the Blackbyrds song “Rock Creek Park” when she told me she was fantasizing about fucking in a forest, and then hummed the riff for her when we did actually sneak out one afternoon to fuck in Rock Creek Park, not far from where we’d stood on September 11, birdsong in my ears, trees soft and blurred around me, reeling in the history and present and future of my love.

I loved hearing my voice shatter her songs like a fist through glass, I loved the way our eyes reflexively met in the first breath after a song ended.

“My question though is, who wouldn’t want to dance with Whitney Houston? Like seriously!” “Right,” I said. “But I think it’s not so much that people don’t want to dance with her, I think it’s more that she can’t let them dance with her. Like she’s so depressed she can’t conceive of a world in which people would want to dance with her, so she dances alone.”

finally locking in after a reading slump and omg… the way this author writes. #inspired

I’m officially anxious

I’m picking up on what’s happening and I see it and understand it and like sympathize with it in a weird way but I also am incredibly peeved

I can’t tell if it is intentional to have written the
like this but I do not like the protagonist in this book she is…..so dense

I really like Sally

I really don’t want Mari and Jamie to get back together. I’m not sure if this is intentional with the writing or not…
