There's a lot of loss in the world today. When we lose an animal, specifically, we grieve and then have to weigh if getting another pet is worth the pain of potentially losing them. This week, we explore that on our new podcast episode. We feature a conversation with E.B. Bartels, author of Good Grief, and her editor at Mariner Books, Ivy Givens. The book is an unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. This is a must-listen if you've lost a pet in the past.
Listen to the full episode here:

Good Grief is on sale August 2, 2022.

This week on the podcast, we welcome Vice President and Executive Editor Lucia Macro back to the podcast to talk with Emiko Jean, the author of Mika in Real Life—a book Lucia describes as "one of my favorite books of the summer." Mika in Real Life is the brilliant new novel from the author of the New York Times bestselling young adult novel Tokyo Ever After. It's a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud funny, and utterly heartwarming novel about motherhood, daughterhood, and love—how we find it, keep it, and how it always returns.
A few of the rave reviews include:
