Philyaw’s writing on race, parenting, gender, and culture has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, McSweeney’s, the Rumpus, and elsewhere. I was also really confused by how upset Andrew became over things that didn’t even happen in his timeline and when the two weren’t even together as a couple.

They have moved away from the Filthy and the Beautiful, I get it, but those books were compelling + well written, and yes – super sexy.

I had to turn off my critical thinking and overly judgemental mind and accept a good amount of silliness to make this work for me but it was a nice vacation from doom and gloom. Her family and her mother's best friend's family was staying in a cabin for Christmas like they always do. His latest novel, The Arrest , is a postapocalyptic tale about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car. Yes, all of these things literally happen in In a Holidaze, under the guise of “tradition,” but it feels almost like the novel had a checklist for holiday tropes and was determined to check them all off.I just didn’t find this romantic or special, because it made me wonder if he would’ve accepted any confession like this, not just Maisie’s. Putting my disbelief at how hard In a Holidaze was pushing the found family agenda, I also struggled with the characterization of the two brothers Andrew and Theo.

As Mae and her family are leaving the cabin they get into a car crash and she wakes up back on the plane a week earlier, flying to Utah once again.
