BSB: Isabel Klee's Memoir "Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I've Cried About"

What happens when a book gives you everything you want on the surface and still leaves you wanting more underneath?I'm back with a mini review of Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I've Cried About, the debut memoir from Isabel Klee, the writer and content creator behind the dog-rescue account @simonsits. The book chronicles Isabel's twenties in New York City: a string of complicated boyfriends, a tight community of women figuring life out alongside her, and a parade of foster dogs she helped rehabilitate and rehome, including her first true love, a rescued pup named Simon.I dig into what worked and what didn't, and along the way, I share my own dog story, adopting my scrappy one-eared rescue terrier during my first stretch of living alone, and make the case for solo living as one of the most underrated things you can do for yourself in your twenties, lease restrictions and all.Share this conversation with someone who has a rescue dog story of their own.Please rate and review the show and share this conversation with someone who grew up in the church and is still working out which parts of their faith are actually theirs."Love and patience could heal a broken dog, but, most of the time, it wasn't going to heal a broken man." - Isabel KleeConnect with Isabel Klee:@simonsits on instagramBooks Referenced:Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I've Cried About by Isabel KleeSupport the show:Buy us a bookBuy cute merchon PatreonSubscribe on AppleSubscribe on SubstackThis episode is produced, recorded, and its content edited by me. Xx, AlexConnect with us and suggest a great memoir!Follow us on instagram! @babesinbooklandpod xx, Alex Hosted on Acast.
