Happy Half Hour (3/17/25)

Today, we’re chatting about a girl with a plan to tell her best friend that she’s in love with him; a debut about a Nigerian immigrant navigating love, grief, and belonging; a contemporary fantasy about inhuman creatures and what it means to belong; and a woman who must go up against the most horrifying concept of all: nothing.
