Josh Silver

yeah

and it's fruit fly by josh silver

i almost included that one so i'm glad you

did i so like here's my thing before i tell everybody what it's about i'm gonna hop on my soapbox and like other than like some of john fram's books and bathhouse by pj vernon we don't get like a ton of like queer thrillers that deal with like queer identity, right? Like, so like you have the Ben Packard series by Joshua Molling is a fantastic, but it's like, this main character is gay and it's, that's it.

Right.

So like bath house was like one of those things that I was like, this is like groundbreaking to me.

And like, so like different because it's like, you couldn't have had that plot with a straight character you know so um fruit fly by josh silver is like another one that i'm like you could not have had this storyline with like a straight character in it um But Mallory Maddox is a struggling author who will do anything to have her second novel be a hit.

So she ends up Googling how to write a hit novel, and she finds an article that claims to go gay, go sad, go dark.

So I took a first step, which is starting a book club on TikTok, just like a little book club series I'm actually planning to do every week.

The first book I reviewed was Fruit Fly by Josh Silver.

Wild, wild.

Ooh,

That's the takeaway.

Don't forget, we're reading Fruit Fly by Josh Silver this month.

And that book club style episode with spoilers will come out October 1st.

Please read along with us.

It's, it's taken the, the internet by storm.

It's this new novel by Josh Silver.

This is his first adult fiction.

I believe he had done a couple YA fictions, but this is his first full adult fiction novel, and it's about a author, a f- a female, a cis, straight female author who ha- is having writer's block, and so she ChatGPTs what she should-

And that's good.

And I read Fruit Fly by Josh Silver.

Have you seen anything about this book? Okay.

Literally, I saw that you read it.

Nobody's good.

Leo is a really complicated person.

And Josh Silver, I looked this up after I finished the book, he is nine years sober, but before that he was addicted to narcotics.

So

contemporary fiction this year.

And another on that list that I enjoyed so much was Fruit Fly by Josh Silver.

This was absolutely batshit insane.

I think it takes yellow face and possibly amps it up a notch.
