In this episode of Honest Pages, we dive into Crush by Ada Calhoun, a raw, nostalgic, and beautifully candid collection about longing, youth, and the bittersweet ache of memory. Through a series of poems and vignettes, Calhoun captures the messy intensity of first loves, missed chances, and the way certain people linger in our lives long after they’re gone. Set against the backdrop of city streets and inner worlds, this is a book about desire in all its fleeting, electric forms. Can we ever let go of the ghosts we choose to hold onto? Tune in as we explore this intimate, lyrical meditation on infatuation, vulnerability, and the stories we tell ourselves about the ones who got away.

The Husbands by Holly Gramazio
In this episode of Honest Pages, we dive into The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, a sharp, inventive novel that blends wit, wonder, and a touch of the surreal. When a woman discovers a closet in her home that can conjure up different versions of her husband—each one a little different from the last—she’s thrown into a whirlwind of choice, desire, and self-reflection. As the boundaries between love, fantasy, and reality begin to blur, she’s forced to confront not just what she wants in a partner, but who she is when no one’s watching. Can you ever find the perfect match—or are we all just rewriting the same story? Tune in as we unpack this clever, emotionally rich tale of relationships, identity, and the strange magic of second chances.
