The Mr. Brightside religious experience comes through in living color. Hit me right in my thirty-something face.

this read like one of your short stories (which i've been reading and loving, by the way). i was really drawn in by your attention to detail and the songs mentioned (especially mr. brightside!). i also second rachel's comment that you listen to chappell . . . she transcends generational gaps

maddy you are BEYOND sweet. It means so much that you are reading my fiction, which is so important to me. I picked up The Hurting Kind at your suggestion and had a good cry -- thank you so much for your thoughtfulness <3 omg and I know, everyone loves her lol when I tell you she played EVERYWHERE that night, multiple times! I saw you mention her in your letter too. I think she's kind of what Lady Gaga was to me when I was in college. Music that's fun is just nice, lol

Omg the way I know this is Barbarella. Thank you for beautifully encapsulating both the pain and transcendence of being a millennial at the club
