Green dot follows mid 20s Hera as she navigates life in only the way people in their 20s do. Shes had a dull life post college and is looking for something, anything to bring that spark back to life. 

And then she meets Arthur. 

Arthur is a coworker of Hera’s in their cold news outlet office. He’s older than her and holds the spark she’s been looking for…one problem though, Arthur is married. 

Hera finds herself captivated by Arthur in an all consuming lust turned romance. She finds this odd, as she has only previously dated women, but something about him grabs her and won’t let go. 

I am not going to lie to you, I was 40% through my audio arc of this (thank you Netgalley and Macmillan Audio) when I decided I loved it and needed to own a physical copy. 

Green Dot is humorous, sharp and deeply emotional. It takes us on a journey of wanting something so badly that we know isn’t going to end well for us, but we let it consume us whole anyway. It hurts in the same vein that Normal People or Acts of Desperation hurts, a love affair that makes you drop your entire life for one person. I think a lot of women and femmes can relate to this concept. The patriarchy has trained us from a very young age to put men’s needs over our own and to make ourselves available for them no matter what. I cannot speak highly enough of this book recommend it anymore. It’s smart and funny but will also make you feel things you probably haven’t felt in years (if you’re in your 30s like me) Green Dot is out now!
