- I am a big fan of Phillips’ atmospheric horror. With HUM, she takes it into the near future with incredible results.
- What a time to be reading this particular vision of the future, which feels about nine seconds away from right now with the rise of AI, constant surveillance, and online viral notoriety.
- Phillips is also excellent at evoking the horrors of motherhood. Even as someone without my own children, I found myself losing my breath as May rode the rollercoaster of this plot.

- A LITTLE LESS BROKEN is memoir with a big dash of research (or the lack thereof) about autistic women.
- I found a lot of this book to be highly relatable, and I think many will, even people who aren’t autistic. There’s a lot here about women and acceptable social behavior, medical diagnoses, and parenting.
- Schembari reads the audiobook and brings a ton of heart to it. She is a very engaging narrator and you can hear her joy and frustration throughout.
