Deborah Desser

Avid reader with a soft spot for character-driven stories that make me feel something. I gravitate toward literary fiction, thoughtful historical novels, contemporary mysteries with real emotional depth, and the occasional beautifully written fantasy or speculative fiction. I love books that stay with you long after the last page quietly devastating ones especially. Usually have 2–3 books going at once (one audiobook for walks around Boston). Always happy to talk about unreliable narrators, perfect endings, or why we keep rereading certain books. 📚
