OMMMGGG! Huge news! @fserritella’s debut novel GHOSTS OF HARVARD has been chosen as @teenvogue’s Book Club! What a stamp of approval and so well-deserved! Repost @fserritella with @make_repost

GHOSTS OF HARVARD is @teenvogue ‘s Book Club Pick!!! I’m so excited share this news and the wonderful interview I did with their thoughtful writer @mtlajeunesse , link in bio! I’m beyond grateful and honored that Teen Vogue chose my debut novel to recommend to their readers, and with such kind words:
. “Francesca Serritella’s Ghosts of Harvard is an unexpected and entirely welcomed summer read. It’s dark, unpredictable, and every chapter draws you further and further into the story, each one more exciting than the next. It might not be your typical beach-read, but Ghosts of Harvard’s thrilling layers are entirely immersive.... From the very start of the novel, Serritella is unafraid to take on difficult topics like grief, schizophrenia, and even Harvard’s own barely-acknowledged past with racism and slavery. She approaches these feelings, themes, and histories with care and nuance, careful to avoid stereotypes or stigmas.” Read the full feature and interview via the link in my bio!

I truly enjoyed recording this ep of the @howwriterswrite podcast, hosted by Brian Murphy. Brian asked such insightful, unexpected questions, it prompted me to give voice to some writing ideas & beliefs that I’d never articulated to myself before. I left our discussion feeling more inspired and focused than ever! If you have a work in progress, a book idea percolating, or just want to get the creative juices flowing, give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy! Link in bio 🎧

Thrilled by this dream-review of GHOSTS OF HARVARD in @provjournal where they call the book “blistering and bracing,“ a “well-wrought, chilling thriller,” and I had to screenshot the part that spoke directly to my heart by referencing two of my all-time favorite books and biggest influences: ✨“‘Ghosts of Harvard’ presents a postmodern gothic tale wrapped in the fabric of a traditional thriller, with sterling results. A magnificent mix of the Henry James classic “The Turn of the Screw” with Donna Tart’s “The Secret History.””✨ I’m honored, THANK YOU! 🙏💗

That's a euphemism.
Having “mixed results” is what people say when you screw up.
