Kirthana, seeing your book on the shelves of the Obama Presidential Library is such an exciting milestone. Thank you for sharing your fun summer encounters and this wonderful list of reading recommendations.
Thank you! (“Humming” was the first word that came to mind, but now that I think about it, I like how it projects optimism. I hope it continues to be apt!)
So many comments I have from this post!
1. I haven’t read your books and just requested two from my library- I’m so excited!
2. You met Kyle Cooke? 😳
3. I loved Grant Ginder’s book So Old, So Young!
Can’t wait to read your novels!
Thank you, I hope you enjoy 🥰 My second one, Advika, was inspired by RHOBH, so you might like that one? And also really enjoyed SOSY!
Oooh, I can’t wait!

Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the shoutout! And how freaking cool that your book is in the Obama library!
I, too, am sad that summer is nearing its end.
You’re so welcome! (And hopeful for less rain and more blue skies from what we have left of summer.)
Great recs! But I have to finish Lata during my month off of Substack, so excited for that. And FOMO for the Summer House party!!
If you do have time, I hope you enjoy it! And so happy that you're taking a month off, you deserve a good break🌞
Your book on the shelf in a presidential library!!! Soaking up your summer vibes and thrilled to hear the new book is humming 🌞

Love your online and irl encounters, Kirthana and looking forward to your next book! 📕 xx
Thank you!!
LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING was so good.
Agreed—as a soaps fan, this book felt long overdue, and I really enjoyed their approach to writing about them too,
It's the kind of book I'm trying to write. Something that straddles the lines between critic, reporter and fan.
