Molly is one of the greatest young female characters Ive had the luck of reading since I picked up Joy Williamss The Quick and the Dead back in 2000 . . . I TRULY LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! Gillian Flynn, Gillian Flynn Books
Holly Wilsons Kittentits is sacred and profane, filled with big emotions, all amplified by grief. Molly is a wholly unique and charismatic narrator, navigating (and creating) chaos as she seeks out a way to hold onto both the living and dead. This is a wildly funny and utterly convincing coming-of-age novel like nothing Ive read before. Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here
A feral, heart-busting, absurdist debut about Molly, a rambunctious and bawdy ten-year-old searching for friendship and ghosts.
Its 1992, and ten-year-old Molly is tired of living in the fire-rotted, nun-haunted House of Friends: a Semi-Cooperative Living Community of Peace Faith(s) in Action with her formerly blind dad and their grieving housemate Evelyn. But when twenty-three-year-old Jeanie, a dirt bikeriding ex-con with a shady past, moves in, she quickly becomes the object of Mollys adoration. She might treat Molly terribly, but they both have dead moms and potty mouths, so naturally Molly is the moth to Jeanies scuzzy flame.
When Jeanie fakes her own death in a hot-air balloon accident, Molly runs away to Chicago with just a stolen credit card and a sweet pair of LA Gear Heatwaves to meet her pen pal Demarcus and hunt down Jeanie. What follows is a race to New Years Eve, as Molly and Demarcus plan a séance to reunite with their lost moms in front of a live audience at the Worlds Fair.
A surrealist and bold take on the American coming-of-age novel, Holly Wilsons debut is about the interstices of loss, grief, and friendship.
