Mouth Full by Paige Lindsay
Excerpt
How many mouths have been wrapped around your forks, your spoons, and, on rare and daring occasions, your knives? Whose lips have decorated your glasses with foggy, occasionally scarlet, kisses?

What is your Emergency?
The Waiting Hours, Shandi Mitchell. Viking, 2019.
