Stop Me If You‘ve Heard This One, by Kristen Arnett (2025)

Premise: A Florida clown struggles with her career and relationships and the ghosts of the past.

Review: This is sharp, biting, and unflinching, especially when it makes the main character look bad. But I‘ve read many books by queer women that share this sensibility and I definitely felt the diminished returns here. Cont

Mattsbookaday . I just wanted more, both from and for the protagonist — more growth and development, more awareness. But the things this does well, it does really well.

Bookish Pair: For a similar tone and themes, Melissa Broder‘s Milk Fed (2021)
