Hey guys, the last two seasons have been really emotional. Shane's wit turns into ugliness in a huge number of scenes, Kilah gets several high emotional beats, Cal has quiet beauty, and Will has exploration and connection moments that really land as character development. This isn't even to mention Dave or how the series shows people being disrespectful towards Bonnie, then gives her a scene where she rationally explains her philosophy and practice. And then the plot is good, and there's a lot of subtle characterization with every single performance, even the extras.

There's a lot more, and that's the point. I honestly have started tearing up at various points, and I was wondering if the show is landing for anyone else like this.

Hello friends,

I am thinking of one book in particular, but cannot recall what it was. Either way, I am fascinated by this subject in general and would appreciate any recommendations.

I have been excited about these questions ever since reading a paper on how Sappho's poetry could have been primarily intended to sensualize the consciousness of young women in preparation for marriage absent the constant presence of men in their lives due to the gender segregation of ancient Greece. I mention this not as a clue to what the book I'm asking for is about, but just because I think the idea is really good.
