Wait, I have another #MSWL item. Blended families!! There is nothing I love more than seeing exes okay with their former significant other鈥檚 new partner and vice versa. I need that happiness in my life.

For a long time now I've been looking for a contemporary romance in which an only child/lonely person is welcomed into a huge, sprawling, loving family. Think While You Were Sleeping. (We're looking now for romances for 2020's holiday season, hint hint.) #MSWLOh my god, YES, PLEASE. One of my favorite things about While You Were Sleeping is how close Lucy got to the Callaghan family (and Saul). I'm always looking for a story where someone is "taken in" and loved by a family not their own #MSWL

More ADULT: Child psychopaths, along the lines of BABY TEETH, THE BAD SEED or THE GOOD SON.
What happens when a good family is stuck with a child who has no empathy whatsoever? #MSWL

There are not enough novels dealing with families of mixed race and adoption. But I want it, I need it, send, send, send. #adultorya #allaboutthefamilies #MSWL

My current #MSWL:- toxic female friendships
- spooky suspense (maybe w/ supernatural/horror bent)
- suspense featuring cults and witches (a la, THE CRAFT)
- family dysfunction + messed up secrets
- female serial killers
Oh, look. I like all these things! #MSWL

Liane Moriarty type of story. But who doesn't want that, right? Murder, women supporting women, beach settings. Yes, pls. #MSWLComplicated family dynamics. Exes being friends. Friends raising a kid together and those complications. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Family stories, in vein of This is Us, This is Where I Leave You. Sibling dynamics. Parent/child relationships. Complexities & bonds. #MSWL

A story of sisters, not by blood but by friendship and experiences. The family we have isn't the one we're necessarily born into. #MSWL
