Bestie KB wrote a novel and it arrived in the mail today.
Nu had a sleepover last night, went to the Mint Festival in the afternoon, and then watched a movie at someone else's place in the evening--was basically gone all day--so I curled up with Huck and Max and read KB's book from cover to cover... it is so, so good. I know all our friends are reading it with bated breath to see if we show up... luckily, we don't (with one satirical exception, IMO).
Pic. I took this photo when my copies arrived. I posed KB's work with that other Minneapolis treasure... and I think there's a reference to "Raspberry Beret" on page 229 just for me.

Whether you were distinctly in it or not, I'm sure you and your friends inspired a great deal of it. How many discussions did all of you have on the topic at one time or another?
Nice.
How do I get my hands on this book??? I'm looking it up and can't find it. Maybe I'll go see what they can do at the bookstore.
Isn't it the MOST fun when someone you love publishes a book?!
Honestly, I'd seen a few earlier drafts--but this was a completely different version birthed after her move... Very impressive!
Yes!
Nicole--I think you would like it! It's a bit like Catherine Newman in academia. It's on Amazon, or I could send you a copy? I'll DM in the morning! XOXO
Suz--I know! I'm proud as the proverbial mother hen!
How fun. I read a book by someone I know (book club member) last week, too.
I would like to go to a mint festival. It sounds so wholesome.
I love it when people I know write books. I feel like a pseudo-intellectual just by knowing them!
That's so cool, Steph! I had the Mint Festival on my calendar too, but Nu ended up going with friends.
There's nothing pseudo about you, Engie!!
