Selected Things #3
The good, the bad, and the chalky
Every couple weeks, I’ll send you a quick hit of books, articles, recipes, products, etc that are–in my humble opinion–worth your valuable time. I do this for you because life is short and we’re already wasting too much time doomscrolling on socials, right?

Vantage Point
Spoiled nepo-babies, but modern Gothic
This thriller by Sarah Sligar about the woefully damaged adult orphaned scions of a cursed ultra-wealthy New England family is a fun bit of dark storytelling. And I do mean dark–freak deaths, sex tapes, drugs, AI deepfakery, and obnoxious entitled rich boys. Delicious.
