Oh, I'm so glad to hear a rec for The Safekeep! I have to admit it somehow completely went under my radar until the author did an Authors in Conversation chat with a pair of coauthors for LGBTQReads, but I've been so swamped I haven't dug into the book itself yet, though you make a very compelling argument for pushing it to the top of the TBR.
Also, "Seek people whose lives are hard, and make it easier for them." is exactly my coping mechanism (primarily addicted to shopping for people on the Pine Ridge reservation and buying things for foster kids via One Simple Wish) and there's something very lovely about seeing it succinctly distilled <3
The Safekeep is so good. Pretty wryly funny too. It might have gone under your radar because the queer stuff, which is no longer a secret, was under wraps when the book debuted, I think?
And I just started When the World Tips Over. Thank you so much again!
