In \"How to Make Stock with Thanksgiving Leftovers,\" a queer young woman takes us through a wry recipe for boiling turkey stock and raging against small-minded relatives and the traumas they inflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in the style of a classic glossy magazine personality quiz, \"How Mature Are You?: A Quiz\" provides whip-smart A, B, C responses to situations such as: \"When that bitch in your book club calls you a space cadet\" then furnishes the reader with irreverent, pull-no-punches results. This is a collection as darkly humorous as it is heartbreaking and disquieting. Within Stickle's thirteen walled worlds, some will break, some adapt, and others soar. Pushed to the breaking point, none escape unscathed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.35 x 5.35 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47252031701241,"sku":"9781625570192","price":11.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/SXZHYWYxc1JScG1zcWN6YTVPYWhJUT09.webp?v=1768680401","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/breaking-points-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
