Summary
This is a modern alternative universe where two different Carols take center stage. One is Carol Sturka, a bestselling author living in Albuquerque, who has a tendency to drown both her grief and her pessimism in alcohol and who fiercely defends her privacy. The other is Carol Aird, a New Yorker, happily married to her lifelong love the photographer Therese Belivet.
When Therese meets Carol - the writer - during a photoshoot to promote her latest book, it marks the beginning of a long-distance friendship.No harm will be done to Carol and Therese, I promise. Also, no alien virus and no hivemind. However, a tall brunette named Zosia will obviously be there. On the agenda: fun and fluff, and a touch of angst, surrounding a character on her difficult way back to life and love.
Characters are not mine. Weird phrasing and mistakes are (English is not my native language).
Major spoilers for Pluribus.

Summary
"Wendy wouldn't be able to avoid the Command Post pub tonight. And she wouldn't be able to avoid her... Unless Kay was not working tonight. But as far as she remembered, the beautiful bartender always worked on tuesday evenings."
I'm currently rewatching Mindhunter and I'm very much fond of those fascinating characters. As Wendy is unfortunately quite neglected here, I've tried to do her justice.

Summary
Carol Sturka is a fifty-three-year-old best-selling fantasy author who secretly hates the story that made her famous.
She is also a widow.The world knew Helen Umstead as her manager. Carol knew her as her partner of twenty years.
On her first European tour without her, Carol boards the ÖBB Nightjet from Amsterdam to Vienna with a deluxe sleeper cabin still booked for two and no interest in speaking to strangers.
Zosia Wyspiańska is thirty-nine, a cultural anthropologist who studies intimacy, identity, and the way people perform love in public. She boards in Münster. She recognizes Carol immediately. She is not a fan. She is curious.
What follows is a two-month book tour across Europe, a slow collapse of control, and a love story Carol once believed she had already lived.
Slow burn. Grief. Mutual tension. Very explicit.
