Soundcloud rapper boyfriends. AA rendezvous. Singer-songwriter sweethearts. Toxic e-boys. Suicide pacts. NYU poets. Flirty coworkers. ASMR girls. Porn-addicted paramours. Catholic cliques. Imaginary simps. Welcome to the world of FEMALE LONELINESS EPIDEMIC.

“Whenever I want to remember what it must have felt like to be young, whenever I want to ache once more over the blunt, already done-for loveliness of other people also young, and the cozy abjections and recreational cruelties, and the suddenly intolerable weight of just this very moment, and the fresh infinities of affection that stop on a dime, I turn to the masterfully casual, smartly lashing fiction of Danielle Chelosky, who brings all of it unstoppably, ecstatically, back.” - GARIELLE LUTZ
