Retreat– Krysten Ritter / Harper
Synopsis: A beautiful con artist insinuates herself into a wealthy socialite’s life . . . with deadly consequences, in this serpentine thriller about identity and obsession, from actress, director and bestselling author Krysten Ritter.
Liz Dawson weaves through a crowd with the ease of a tropical breeze, moving seamlessly through elite circles, sparking instant connections and making every new acquaintance feel like an intimate friend. She’s clever, smooth, and confident—qualities that make her a brilliant serial con artist.
Isabelle Beresford is strikingly beautiful, obscenely wealthy, and the new owner of Casa Esmerelda, a fabulous villa on the Mexican coast—attributes that make her the perfect mark. When she offers Liz a job handling the installation of a piece of art in her otherwise vacant home, Liz can’t resist the allure of a beach retreat. She longs for a reset, a chance to finally shed the grip of her addiction to the conning game.
But when Liz, with her lush dark hair and intense green eyes, is mistaken for Isabelle herself, Liz can’t help effortlessly slipping into the socialite’s identity. The transition is so easeful, it almost feels like fate. But just who is Isabelle Beresford really, and why does she seem to have abandoned this stunning life of hers?
As Liz insinuates herself deeper into the dazzling—and deceptive—world of the Punta Mita resort community, she draws closer to the dangers surrounding the real Isabelle. Dangers that may have already ensnared Liz, too. This might not be the con of her life—but the con that ends it.
You’ll enjoy this if: You love twisty, messy stories and messy people. I never knew what was going to happen next!
Saltwater–Katy Hays / Ballantine
Synopsis: In 1992 Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarah’s death is ruled an accident, and every year the family returns to prove it’s true. But on the thirtieth anniversary of Sarah’s death, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find a surprise waiting for them—the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died.
You’ll enjoy this if: You like setting as the main character (Italy!!! Immersive and stunning), generational stories, rich people behaving TERRIBLY.
Witness 8–Steve Cavanagh/Atria
Synopsis: Something is wrong with Ruby Johnson.
A former resident of the ultra-elite Manhattan upper class, Ruby now works as a maid in the type of houses she used to live in. Unassuming, she sees everyone’s dirty secrets from the inside of their beautiful, renovated brownstones. But when Ruby witnesses a murder, she has wicked plans in mind that don’t involve telling the authorities the truth.
Eddie Flynn, streetwise ex con-artist-turned-defense attorney, is the only lawyer in New York City willing to take on hopeless cases. And none is more hopeless than John Jackson’s—the gun that killed his neighbor found, with Jackson’s DNA, in his own home. Flynn and his unconventional team will need to use every trick they know to keep an innocent man from being locked up. But to save his client’s life, Eddie must first protect his own, as the scariest organized criminals in the city are out for his head.
You’ll enjoy this if: You love old fashioned gritty gumshoe/ detective stories.
I Would Die For You– Sandie Jones/ Minotaur
Synopsis:Now: Nicole Forbes lives a quiet life in a small seaside Californian town with her husband and daughter. She is not expecting a writer to knock on her door asking for her personal insight into the downfall of the biggest British band of the 1980s—unveiling the threads of a life she put behind her years ago. The same day, her daughter goes missing and the school claims her aunt picked her up . . . but she doesn’t have an aunt. Convinced of a link between the two, Nicole is forced to revisit long-abandoned memories from her past to protect everything she now holds dear.
1986: Sixteen-year-old Cassie is obsessed with the hottest band in London, Secret Oktober. Harboring an intense crush on the leading man, Ben Edwards, she will do anything she can to capture his attention among the throngs of groupies at the band’s scandalous backstage parties. But when Ben discovers her older sister Nicole singing at a local bar one night, he can’t help but feel drawn to her, setting in motion a collision course that could tear their family apart.
Infused with the sounds of the 80s, this thrilling new novel from the inimitable Sandie Jones will captivate her readers, as she explores what the frenzy of fandom can lead to in this shocking blockbuster.
You’ll enjoy this if: You love celebrity/non-celebrity love stories and twisty thrillers.
The Other People–CB Everett / Atria
Synopsis: A group of strangers gathered at a mysterious country house are in a race against time to stop a serial killer in this twisty, high-concept thriller that combines Agatha Christie with Shutter Island.
Ten strangers.
An old dark house.
A killer picking them off one by one.
And a missing girl who’s running out of time…
And then there was one.
Ten strangers wake up inside an old, locked house. They have no recollection of how they got there. In order to escape, they have to solve the disappearance of a young woman. But a killer also stalks the halls of the house and soon the body count starts to rise. Who are these strangers? Why were they chosen? Why would someone want to kill them? And who—or what—lurks in the cellar?
Forget what you think you know.
Because while you can trust yourself, can you really trust The Other People?
You’ll enjoy this if: You like Agatha Christie and surprise endings
Lucky Night– Eliza Kennedy /Crown
Synopsis: Two people, one hotel room, and all the choices and complications that make up a life.
After six years of a stolen hour here, another there, tonight is going to be different—very different—for Nick Holloway and Jenny Parrish. They’ve booked a room in a new luxury hotel in Manhattan, where they’ll spend the entire night together for the first time. Expectations are running high for this brief reprieve from ordinary life: they both need a good bout of ravishing sex and witty conversation.
But that’s not what they get.
Because they’ve barely gotten started when a smoke alarm goes off. Nick is annoyed, but not worried about what must be only a minor glitch. Jenny is anxious, guilty—is karma coming for them at last?
This existential page-turner seamlessly shifts between Nick and Jenny’s perspectives as the reality of their situation becomes apparent, and all their secrets, evasions and regrets come spilling out. Stripped of their defenses, disagreeing about everything, these two flawed, funny, very different people are forced to be honest—with each other and themselves—about what they want, where they’ve screwed up, and whether their affair is really as casual as it seems.
You’ll enjoy this if: You watched the Affair or if you like figuring out what makes people tick.
Nowhere–Allison Gunn / Atria
Synopsis: Mare of Easttown meets The Outsider in this spine-tingling and twisty debut about a series of disappearances in a small, fundamentalist town and what one broken family must do to remain together as dark forces close in.
After losing her young son in an accident, Rachel Kennan throws herself into her career as police chief of a small Virginia town to avoid focusing on her grief. Meanwhile, her husband, Finn, a washed-up writer whose alcoholism led to the devastating tragedy that changed everything, struggles to redeem himself before his family completely falls apart. Their two daughters are the only things keeping Rachel and Finn together, but the girls have demons of their own.
At the same time, a disturbing crime rocks their tightknit, religious community, sending Rachel chasing leads in a place that does not take kindly to outsiders. When an ominous force in the forest starts calling to the children, fear spawns hate among the townspeople, placing the Kennan family directly in the line of fire. Left with no choice but to rely on each other, Rachel and Finn must come together to face threats inside and out.
A haunting family saga and a disquieting horror debut, Nowhere draws from Appalachian folklore to caution us that true terror is what we bury in our own hearts.
You’ll enjoy this if: you like dark Appalachian or witchy vibes.

All the Other Mothers Hate Me– Sarah Harman, Putnam/PRH
Synopsis: Florence Grimes, age thirty-one, always takes the easy way out. Single, broke and unfulfilled after the humiliating end to her girl-band career, she has only one reason to get out of bed each day: her ten-year-old son Dylan. But then Alfie Risby, her son’s bully and the heir to a vast frozen-food empire, mysteriously vanishes during a class trip, and Dylan becomes the prime suspect.
Florence, for once, is faced with a task she can’t quit: She’s got to find Alfie and clear her son’s name or risk losing Dylan forever—never mind that she has no useful skills (let alone investigative ones) and that all the other school moms hate her. Oh, and she has a reason to suspect Dylan might not be as innocent as she’d like to believe.
My Review:
When I first started this book, I thought I was going to dislike it. Let’s be honest. Florence is a highly unlikable main character. She’s selfish, greedy, and completely morally skewed. But she won me over. She’s like an evil version of Finley Donovan.
This is a fun, layered, chaotic romp…utterly bananas. And I enjoyed every moment of it.
Jane and Dan at the End of the World– Colleen Oakley/Berkley
Synopsis: Jane and Dan have been married for nineteen years, but Jane isn’t sure they’re going to make it to twenty. The mother of two feels unneeded by her teenagers, and her writing career has screeched to an unsuccessful halt. Her one published novel sold under five hundred copies. Worse? She’s pretty sure Dan is cheating on her. When the couple goes to the renowned upscale restaurant La Fin du Monde to celebrate their anniversary, Jane thinks it’s as good a place as any to tell Dan she wants a divorce.
But before they even get to the second course, an underground climate activist group bursts into the dining room. Jane is shocked—and not just because she’s in a hostage situation the likes of which she’s only seen in the movies. Nearly everything the disorganized and bumbling activists say and do is right out of the pages of her failed book. Even Dan (who Jane wasn’t sure even read her book) admits it’s eerily familiar.
Which means Dan and Jane are the only ones who know what’s going to happen next. And they’re the only ones who can stop it. This wasn’t what Jane was thinking of when she said “’til death do us part” all those years ago, but if they can survive this, maybe they can survive anything—even marriage.
Review- .5 starsUnlike anything you’ve read, promise. Chaotic and zany and utterly bananas with a heart of gold, this was a precious book. Fun, unexpectedly insightful, and charmingly odd.
All of My 4 1/2 and 5 Star Book Recommendations 24 Feb 7:36 AM (last month)

This post has been a LONG time in the making and I’m so happy that I finally got it together and published it.
For years I have been publishing my ratings on every single book I’ve read to Goodreads HERE. But I needed a more comprehensive, easy to navigate list…so here you are.
A couple of notes:
This was really tricky for me to decide what to include. Most (if not all) of my four star reads are recommends for me too. All of the time. A 4 star rating is WONDERFUL in my book – see what I did there? However, I never would have published this blog post if I included all of the 4 star reviews. I would have been typing for months and months. Perhaps I’ll do a 4 star post at a later date.
Regarding my audio recommendations…this was a tough one. Many of the books below are spectacular on audio but I haven’t read them that way yet. I recommended all of the books I loved on audio and I do believe a few of them (Trevor Noah, Viola Davis, Devolution, any Kristin Hannah book- I LOVE YOU JULIA WHELAN) must be listened to to be truly appreciated.
Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy and find this list helpful to refer to. I did not have the bandwidth to copy and paste all of my reviews, but you can find those on Goodreads (see above).
Love y’all and happy reading!

Happy 2025, friends! This year I decided to do something different. Instead of sharing my top ten books of 2024 (too stressful! I don’t like it at all!) I am choosing to share my 5 star reads in every genre last year.
Today is my second round up of fiction books. The first part is featured in my last post!
As always, you can find ALL of my book reviews (from 1 to five stars, and DNFs) on Goodreads.
You can also follow me on Tiktok at @bookpushersteph and on Instagram at @stephaniehowell . Happy reading! xoxo
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
What an absolute BADASS Martha was. Fierce and strong willed and full of pluck and grit. I. LOVED. HER. And her relationship with Ephraim? Sigh. So tender and respectful and HOT. Whewwww. Make sure to research triggers- this one is heavy and not for the faint of heart. The audio narration is phenomenal, too. One last thing- the authors note is not to be missed !!!
Family Family by Laurie Frankel
Laurie Frankel is one of one of my all time favorite authors, she is so incredibly talented. As an adoptee I found this book fascinating and lovely. Adoption is always painted in such a negative plot (focus on the very real struggles and never on the beauty+ gift that it can be) and it was heartwarming to see it portrayed in a positive way. This book is quirky and chaotic and weird in the best possible way, and also endearing and heartwarming.
Summers at the Saint by Mary Kay Andrews
Y’all know I LOVE me some MKA. Her books are the perfect balance of southern nostalgia, snark, and intrigue. Summers at the Saint is no exception. This one is darker than MKA’s previous novels and I love that. She pulls off dark and twisted in a completely unexpected way. If you want the perfect whodunit beach read, this one is for you!!
Look on the Bright Side by Kristan Higgins
Kristan Higgins just makes my heart FEEL GOOD. She speaks to my soul and this book is my favorite of all the KH books I read this year.
Same as it Ever Was by Claire Lombardo
My Goodreads review was : I’ll write a review if I ever stop crying and apparently I never stopped crying. HAHAHA! Just trust me, this book is everything.
All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
An absolute masterpiece. The characters will live in my heart forever.
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
Astounding, precious, sweet, funny, and unexpectedly deep and moving. This is a must read.
The Favorites by Layne Fargo
How can I give this less than five stars ? Sophie was so damn brave to write this. To deal with a devastating glioblastoma diagnosis as a beautifully, earth shatteringly happy wife, author, and mom of five (I can identify with all of these but one- I simply cannot imagine.
This novella is full of hope, joy, devastation, heartbreak, fear, and light. Kinsella bared her heart and soul, her big beautiful brain, and all of her deepest fears.
It’s a treasure and I keep thinking of how much her dear husband and five children will treasure this book forever.
And to Sophie : your words have brought me infinite joy for decades. From Becky Bloomwood to Effie and Sasha and every single fearless heroine in between- you’ve had me as your biggest fan. Thank you for changing my bookish life.
MEMOIR
Finding Me by Viola Davis
“If I created a fable of my life, a fantasy, I see myself finally meeting God, gushing, crying, thanking the Almighty for the accolades, a fabulous husband, beautiful daughter, my journey from nothing to Hollywood, awards, travel. I can clearly see the Lord’s face, staring at me, taking me in and saying, ‘You never thanked me for creating you as YOU.”
THE AUDIOBOOK VERSION OF THIS IS A MUST. There are no words to describe how powerful this memoir is. It is an absolute miracle that Viola Davis is even alive today. Her book shattered me, eviscerated me, and blew me away…to say the least. I cried at least a dozen times listening to her voice tell her incredible story. Her words are poetic, raw, and vulnerable. I will remember this book for the rest of my life.

Today I’m sharing Up Lit, my favorite genre!
Up Lit, or uplifting literature, is a genre of fiction that focuses on themes of hope, kindness, and connection. Up Lit novels are often optimistic and heartwarming, but they are not just “feel good” fluff. They include an element of realism and often tackle serious topics and themes.
These is one category that contains book that should all have a permanent spot on your bookshelf. There is only one BUY NOW and also gift to everyone you know category- and this is it. This is when my inner book bully comes out. PURCHASE THESE BOOKS OR ELSEEEE.

Meredith, Alone by Claire Alexander
This book is so incredibly special. It has all of the hallmarks of my most favorite UpLit novels- pain, heartbreak, fear, isolation, and ultimately love. So much love. I ADORED Meredith and the other characters in this novel.
How to Read a Book by Monica Wood
Breathtaking, astounding, heartbreaking. Monica Wood is a master of stringing words together in the most perfect, luminous way. This book will make you think and feel and cry…and appreciate the nuances of forgiveness.
The Love Story of Missy Carmichael by Beth Morrey
It is a documented fact that if I encounter an UpLit novel with a lonely elderly protagonist, and if the title has said protagonist’s name in it… It will be a five star read for me. This book is no exception. This book is extremely sad and heavy and places, but I loved it. I loved that each main character was flawed and broken, and that they owned up to those flaws and tried to be better, do better. Beautiful and touching
How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley
This is the year of badass aging queens. You will fall in love with this cast of characters and I now know that activities director at a retirement community is my DREAM JOB.
Silvia’s Second Act by Hillary Yablon
THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING. Made me laugh out loud and also reflect on the value of mature women- Silvia and her crew are absolutely hilarious. And Silvia herself is GOALS.
Sipsworth by Simon Van Booey
Whimsical, heartwarming, and endearing. My heart needed this precious story. This will be right up your alley if you loved Remarkably Bright Creatures.
You are Here by David Nicholls
Charming and relatable and witty, this one is a must listen on audio. The audio narration is sublime, and I don’t feel like you would get the same experience reading a paper copy. I laughed out loud, winced, cringed, and cheered. Absolutely precious.
Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford
Cozy and full of so much hope, I love this one for so many reasons- but mainly because it reminds us that aging women hold SO MUCH VALUE. Life doesn’t end as you get older. It gets sweeter and better and even though we might feel invisible, se have so much to offer.
The Same Bright Stars by Ethan Joella
This book is absolute, total perfection. It’s hard to put into words what a beautiful and talented author Ethan Joella is, but let me just say that every page felt like home. This is a lovely, comforting, encouraging little gem of a novel.
A Little Hope by Ethan Joella
Yet another five star book by Joella. He just sees into my heart, I swear. This book made me more thoughtful, more empathetic, more kind. His books make me a better person.
A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella
Ethan Joella is now officially one of my all-time favorite authors. He has submitted his place in the Stephanie Howell Bookish Hall of Fame. 
No one writes with the empathy, compassion, and ability to SEE every human the way that this man does. Without a single exception, his books make me feel hopeful, joyful, and encouraged.
The Wedding People by Allison Espach
Heartbreaking and uplifting and devastating and hopeful all at once, this is most likely my favorite book of the year. The audio version is absolutely wonderful.
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
It took me three times to get into this book. And I almost never picked it up again. I cannot even tell you how glad I am that I did. This novel is written in a frenetic, chaotic, frantic, anxious way. It lends itself perfectly to the story that’s being told, but it takes some getting used to. This is a beautiful gem of a story. Found family, empathy, understanding, connection, love, intergenerational friendship, and mentorship. The ultimate up lit.

Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra
Scared the crap out of me, infuriated me, made me INCREDIBLY anxious, and then gaslit me. So scary and I couldn’t put it down.
Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
This was so creative and compelling and binge worthy and FUN. Truly fun to listen to and to try to figure out. It’s truly fantastic on audio too!!!
We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
Scariest book I’ve read in my entire life. Hands down. But I hated the end tbh. Went off the rails a bit but still 100% worth the read.
Find Us by Benjamin Stevenson- Audible audiobook original/exclusive
This was an EXCELLENT, wholly original audiobook. I flew threw it and I did not see a single moment coming, especially the end. Fantastic.
Gray After Dark by Noelle W. Ihli
Haunting and terrifying – please heed the trigger warnings for abuse and SA. But this book is so damn good. Do not miss the authors note.
The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
Loved this romantic thriller- unlike anything I’ve read. This is an author to watch!
The Guilty One by Kiersten Modglin
Twisty and addictive with phenomenal twists- you won’t be able to put this one down. Love this author!
The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier
Twisted and disturbing and chilling, this book made my heart pound. It’s not fast paced nor is it a book where you have to guess the twists but it’s a good solid old-fashioned thriller. Reminds me a bit of Harris‘s silence of the lambs. Jennifer Hillier always hits the right note and this is no exception. EXCELLENT ON AUDIO.
The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf
I just thought this was a good, old-fashioned mystery/thriller. Solid, creepy plot- it’s so refreshing to read a well written book where the author isn’t trying to throw in twist after twist after twist. I’m such a fan of suspense, and that dread building in your heart and I feel like you just don’t find that that often anymore in modern day thrillers!
The Chamber by Will Dean
WILL DEAN DOES IT AGAIN. This man is deeply unwell. This book will have you sweating bullets and feeling claustrophobic- and I cannot imagine the amount of research it took to complete this book. WHEW!
Two Good Men by S.E. Redfearn (Suzanne Redfearn)
Tough subject matter, but man is this a wholly original, pulse-pounding thriller. I flew right through it.
Happy reading!!!

We are starting off with romance. YESSS! Now let me say that a couple of these books steer towards women’s fiction, but I chose to put them in the romance category. My general fiction list is REALLY long, so I had to move a few over.

Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler
Tropes: Road Trip, Only one Bed, Forced Proximity
My Review: I freaking ADORED this book. Grump/Sunshine is my most favorite trope- I married a grump! The banter, the wit, the awkwardness, the STEAM, the dual timeline love stories – chefs kiss. Sunshine in book form.
The Art of Scandal by Regina Black
Tropes: Age Gap, Forbidden Romance
My Review: This book is EVERYTHING and it has everything too.Main characters you’re guaranteed to fall in love with and root for, sizzling chemistry (swoon), amazing banter, and a heroine who finds herself and her worth separate from her identity as a wife and mother.Plus I learned so much about art as I googled my way through each page. Five shiny stars!
Last Call at the Local by Sarah Grunder Ruiz
Tropes: Opposites Attract, Neurodivergent Representation
My Review: Oh my heart I adored EVERYTHING about this precious book. Just perfect.
The Love of My Afterlife by Kristy Greenwood
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, One Bed, Fake Relationship
My Review: Quirky and deep and sad at times, this premise seems like it wouldn’t work but it does. So so perfectly. Unlike any romance I’ve ever read!
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter
Tropes: Locked Room Murder Mystery, Enemies to Lovers
My Review: This book is absolute PERFECTION. I devoured it in a handful of hours. It has everythingggg. Wit, banter, chemistry, humor, an amazing cast of characters…and the most perfect Agatha Christie-esque mystery. Can I read it again immediately please ? OBSESSED.
A Little Magic by Lindsey Lanza
Tropes: 2nd Chance/First Love, Brother’s Best Friend, One Bed
My Review:Oh my gosh this book was so sweet and steamy and endearing and I just adored it!!!
One Summer in Savannah by Terah Shelton Harris
Tropes: Forgiveness
My Review: Forgiveness, I have learned, is like a door. You can open yourself up to it or close yourself off from it at any time. We can’t rewrite history, or change the outcome. Life is a series of choices. And we live in and with those choices we make.
What a moving, beautiful, complicated and compelling novel this is. Sooooo much nuance. It made me think and cry and cringe at times. But black and white just doesn’t work in this space. You have to embrace, dissect, and acknowledge the gray.
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan
Tropes: Forced Proximity, Over 30 Romance, Closed Door
My Review: It’s going to be hard to put my love for this book into words. Annabel Monaghan writes the most endearing and special adult love stories. The world would have you believe that romance and excitement ends at 30 and that irks me to my core. I’m so incredibly grateful for Annabel’s books.As a mom to girls this one was especially poignant. The mother daughter relationships (Greer+Ali / Ali + Fancy) are so beautifully written…I found myself in tears more than once.Just read it okay? It’s perfect. P.S. Don’t skip the author’s note. It’s sublime and incredibly moving.
Pictures of You by Emma Grey
Tropes: Friends to Lovers
My Review:Put this phenomenal, transcendent, magical, special book at the very top of your TBR. Emma Grey has done it again. Do yourself a favor and go into this blind. Evie wakes up in the hospital after a devastating car crash that has killed her husband. The problem is, she doesn’t even remember that she has a husband. She thinks she is still 16. Thus begins a novel that is nothing I expected to be, yet everything I needed. It’s a roller coaster of longing, loss, emotion, and above all love.
And I adored every moment of it. Evie and Oliver and Harriet and Drew will never leave my mind or my heart. Please read this, I promise you’ll love it.
Better Than the Movies (BOOK ONE)/ Nothing Like the Movies(BOOK TWO) by Lynn Painter
Tropes: Book One: Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating Book Two: Second Chance
My Review:I usually do NOT like YA romances for a variety of reasons, but I flew through this set in a matter of days and immediately shoved BTTM into the hands of my 14 year old. She read it in two days. Love everything about these sweet books.
It’s Not a Competition 9 Oct 2024 7:53 AM (6 months ago)
I’ve been a military spouse for 20+ years. 7 deployments, 5 kids, every scenario possible.
And you know one thing I will never do?
Make you feel like crap because you’re missing your non-military husband.
It’s something I’ve seen over and over in the military community, a sense of superiority and condescension.
Oh you miss your husband because he’s on a work trip? IMAGINE YOUR HUSBAND BEING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR A YEAR!
Oh your pregnancy was difficult? IMAGINE HAVING A BABY WHILE YOUR HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED.
Oh you feel lonely? IMAGINE LIVING ALONE WHILE YOUR SPOUSE IS DEPLOYED.
Please. It makes me crazy. It’s so rude and dismissive and why would you take that approach when instead you could encourage, mentor, and love another human?
It’s hard to be apart from the person you love. Missing someone is an indicator of love and connection and it’s a human emotion. Missing is HARD. And why would you invalidate and dismiss that just because you feel like you feel you have some sort of leg up or some sort of superiority?
I want my friends to know they can come to me and find solace and comfort in my presence when they are missing the person they love.
Whether it’s a weekend in Cleveland or Dallas or Phoenix or a year in Afghanistan, Syria, or Iraq. I want to love and encourage other women feeling the sense of isolation, worry, and loneliness that I’ve felt. I want to empower them to know that they can do it. And not only do it, but grow and flourish, and become a better woman through the minutes, weeks, months, years apart.
It’s not a competition, y’all.
We’ve got to fix each other’s crowns and be one another’s biggest hype woman. We need to love and build each other up. Every time you say something dismissive to someone who is struggling, all it does is make that person feel more alone.
Stop rolling your eyes and clucking your tongue and making milspouses look like some elite group of insufferable snobs.
And if you’ve made someone feel like this it’s never too late to mend those bridges and apologize. Being the port in a storm for another woman is something they will never forget.
Anyway, looks like I’m blogging again? What is this, 2009?
