“Claire Hopple has a light, humorous touch, but there’s no question she means business.” —Lindsay Lerman, author of What Are You?
In Take It Personally, Tori, the lead singer of a local rock band, takes on an amateur private investigator job where she spies on a famous diarist. Are the published diaries authentic or fabricated?
As she uncovers the mystery alongside her psychic roommate, her investigation is complicated by their nudist neighbor disappearing, the neighborhood watch morphing into a secret society, and her band getting booked on a national tour.
This vulnerable yet absurdly comic novel explores themes of alienation within a community and the pursuit of a job that gives you real feedback.
“Claire Hopple writes with such concision and style, I had to scrape my jaw from the floor after reading.”
—Troy James Weaver, author of Temporal
