Dear Skunks, I wrote. Then I got stuck. What was there to say about the skunks? Of course there was the smellthe spraying. Everyones mind jumped to the spraying. I often forgot about the spraying entirely, which was nice because it made me feel that I wasnt like other people. From the outside, Isabel doesnt seem to have much going on. Its the summer after college graduation, and shes moved back to her hometown, where she spends her days house-sitting, babysitting, working the front desk at a yoga studio, and hanging out with her childhood friend Ellie. But on the inside, Isabels mind is always running, always analyzing, and right now, shes trying hard to not let her thoughts give weight to boys. So when Isabel spots three baby skunks in the yard, their presence is not only a strangely thrilling break from the expected, it feels like a fortuitous sign from the universe. Skunks. Thats what she should be thinking about. As the summer unfolds, Isabel becomes increasingly preoccupied with the skunks, while also navigating her various jobs and an ambiguous relationship with Eli, the son of the couple shes house-sitting for. In her own life and in the imagined inner lives of the skunks, Isabel ponders the nature of existence, love vs. infatuation, and the many small moments that make us animal, make us human. The Skunks is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about the complexities of crushes, desire, friendship, and modern life. Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Women's Fiction
