Hi everyone,

Of course, despite having read my previous newsletter edition MANY times, I didn’t realize until it was too late that I mistakenly referred to Teri Vlassopoulos’ new book Living Expenses as Escape Plans, which was the title of her previous book.

My apologies for the fuckup! Here’s the correct info!

As the children of a single mother who immigrated from the Philippines, Laura and Claire have always been exceptionally close. That is, until Claire moves to San Francisco for a startup job in Silicon Valley while Laura and her husband remain in Toronto and decide to start a family. Enter the slow, hopeful, devastating process of fertility treatments. While Laura prepares for IVF, Claire has her own encounter with the fertility industry.

Living Expenses interrogates the strain that can accompany even the strongest of relationships, and captures the inevitable creep of technology into all facets of its characters’ lives, from communication to reproduction.

And I’m excited to celebrate LIVING EXPENSES with Teri at her launch tonight!!!

Talk soon,
-Sg.
