This IS amazing! 🤩 My first thought was, “How does she do it all?” Write, teach, travel, take care of us, Pepita, and most of all herself??!!” I can’t wait to find out because I have no doubt clues will be nestled within the pages. Such a bad ass marvel YOU are Lizzy. SO deeply honored to be called, family. Love to each of us, ALL the way down to the river. Can’t wait to read! Xo 💜🪶

I always joke: it’s because I have no kids! lol! Also, I’ve got Margaret, and so many other wonderful people who make my life easier. I just get to do the fun things that I love… And the Substack is my favorite

I freaking love Substack!! and Margaret too of course!

Yes, you do have this support, you care deeply, and it is displayed daily by how you show up. Lucky ALL of us get to be in one another’s spheres. Pre-ordering my book today. Woo Hoo! 🎉🥳👏🏼

Right! That Liz shows up for us every single Sunday, without fail, speaks of her devotion to the Lovelets. It’s so special 💕

I cannot wait to read this story! I finished City of Girls while in the PICU with my infant son after his brain surgery. The whole book was the only light in a very dark time, but when I read the last paragraph of the acknowledgments, I lost it... "You are never not by my side. You are my heart. I will always love you." thank you for sharing your heart with the world.

Your books feel more real to me than a lot of stuff that goes on around me (a bit autistic, I am, I guess). I can't wait to read this one.

I also love love love the way you talk about it, with so much love and pride and joy. You radiate so much light. It inspires me. I want to be proud and happy about what I do, I don't want to feel ashamed to celebrate my work just because I was taught that praising oneself is repulsive under any circumstances. Thank you, Liz. For all your work and your courage and resilience and big big heart.

I am such a big fan of people loving the creative work that they make! I love my work, and I love to see other people love theirs. It is a very counterculture position to take, to say that you love the thing that you created… But I do!

Congrats Lizzy! So happy for you! And so happy for us!

We love you!

Having walked my husband all the way to the river in 2021 I can relate on so many levels. I went crazy after he died, and have recently found my way back to myself. I can't wait to read your book! XO Amy

I understand the crazy. I deeply understand!

My heart leaps and the tears pop to the surface for the preciousness of life and love, the graciousness that you have to share this journey with the world and to Rayya, who I am sure is around you saying, “Fuck yeah!” 🙏🏻 can’t wait to read it!

Fuck yeah!!!!

I was saying a bunch of “Fuck yeah’s!” today as I was listening to your Cocktales podcast episode ❤️ Thank you for introducing me to those ladies and for being so transparent and honest about your experience and how the 12 Steps have changed your life. I’m 1 year, 9 months and 15 days sober (alcohol) and am only beginning to scratch the surface of how much sex & love addiction co-piloted my whole life. Thankfully, my higher power and I have taken the wheel and are living much freer now. So much love to you!

Beloved, thank you for trusting us to hold this story in all its complexity. You are a walking permission slip to let life be what it is, beautiful and messy and complicated and absolutely un-look-away-able. I can't wait to read.
