Brilliant.

I read the whole thing in one day; Jennifer Belle’s novel ‘Little Stalker’ is utterly hilarious and bitingly poignant at the same time. It’s about a 33-year-old single woman, Rebekah, a novelist who hasn’t written anything in ten years. She’s obsessed with has-been filmmaker Arthur Weeman, and by writing him letters (from her thirteen-year-old self) she comes to terms with her traumatic youth.

Belle is the author of two other books (both of which I own) ‘High Maintenance’ and ‘Going Down.’ Her style is gritty, sort of ironic and dark and edgy and she totally captures the essence of New York City. No matter how many times I read her books – and I’ve read them A LOT – I always find myself completely hooked.
