I have to tell you it is a little frightening and intimidating how good a writer Sarah Pinsker is. In "Song for a New Day" she pretty much called our current times and had an incredibly moving and effective story arc. The story arc is just as good here in a shorter form. Our protagonist is a person used to lying about her past--even though these days it is pretty easy to check up on people. But she gets by with it. Then she makes up a lie that ends up being true and leading to a very creepy children's show host. This is told with a backdrop of her helping an old acquaintance (not quite a friend, and that explanation is good too) clean out his brother's hoarder home. It's just absolutely delicious to read, if for some reason you have not go do it now.
