About the Book: Uncle Errol throws a funeral for himself. Bootsie spies on her own husband. Joe's band dresses in costumes and plays instruments from elementary school music class. Marco is tired of people shouting “Polo!” over his shoulder. Mallory unlocks the doors between hotel suites in case the person beside her is also searching and alone. Denise eats crayons and goes missing. Gary tries to legally change his name to get back at his sworn enemy. Tell Me How You Really Feel is the only novella set in the municipality of Murrysville, Pennsylvania.

About the Beverage: Claire recommends pairing her novel with Polar Seltzer Vanilla because “They’re both effervescent, nostalgic (this flavor tastes like cream soda), and hydrating yet frivolous. They taste good going down and aren’t going to cause side effects later.”
