EDITOR'S NOTE

With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, here are a couple of things I’m loving for friends, date night, and myself:

• This luxurious flight of cookies from Last Crumb, which would be fun for any upcoming parties or to enjoy with a loved one at home.

• The sweetest heart-shaped frame from one of my favorite brands.

• The valentines I’m mailing to all my friends this year.

We Could Be Rats by Emily Austin

• The story: Sigrid and Margit are estranged sisters that could not be more different. Sigrid works at a dollar store and refuses to conventionally “grow up.” Margit can’t understand why her sister won’t conform. When Sigrid navigates a mental health emergency, the two sisters reconnect, and as they do, they unpack everything in their childhood that got them to this point. It’s a love letter to sisterhood we’re keeping in our TBR stack for February.

TW: This book has mentions of suicide.
