New American Best Friend is fiery, fiesty, feminist and fabulous. It’s a collection of poetry exploring American womanhood from girlhood to adulthood. It’s empowering, its celebratory, it subverts stereotypes. It made me rage at times but it also made me laugh and cheer. Loved reading it. Loved it even more when I listed to the poet read her words aloud (thanks to YouTube) while I read along. So many favourites but my thoughts keep returning to Alternate Universe in Which I am Unfazed by Men Who Do Not Love Me. Can’t wait to read more by Olivia Gatwood, especially her first novel due out later this year.
