I think it's time for me to officially announce that my Bat Mitzvah party theme was Thoroughly Modern Nicole & all the centerpieces had copies of playbills/theatre masks. I invited six boys, I had a crush on all of them bc they were unthreatening, & they're literally all gay now twitter.com/RachelWenitsky…Send me this novel #MSWL

I’ve been seeing lots of interesting requests on the timeline for different types of Jewish stories. I’d love to see all of them. Including maybe a story set in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. Sometimes religion isn’t the reason the fish is out of water. #mswl
