Marie Rutkoski's Blog

Hello!

I'm so excited for my new book, ORDINARY LOVE, to come out on Tuesday, June 10. I hope you'll read it and enjoy it.

It's a queer love story. It's about mistakes, coming of age, motherhood, friendship, time, wealth, and wanting more than people say you deserve. Emily St John Mandel called it "remarkable and profoundly moving," and Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, calling it "a beautiful story that captures what it means to genuinely support, cherish, and love another person."

Here's a link to the book so that you can learn more.
