Girls Girls Girls by Shoshana von Blanckensee
It's the summer of '96 and best friends (and secret girlfriends) Hannah and Sam are driving across the country from Long Beach, New York, to the fabled queer paradise of San Francisco, free from the harsh gazes of their neighbors and the stifling demands of Hannah's devout Orthodox Jewish mother. In San Francisco, they will finally be together as a real couple, out in the open, around other queer people. Even if the move means leaving behind Hannah's beloved Bubbe. When the financial strains of West Coast living push the girls to start stripping at The Chez Paree — yet another secret Hannah must keep from her family — Hannah feels trapped. Sam wants her at the club, but Hannah hates stripping nearly as much as she hates disappointing Sam. Then Hannah meets Chris, an older butch lesbian, who is immediately taken with her. Desperate to stay in San Francisco, but away from the leering men at the club, Hannah proposes an escort arrangement. But as Hannah falls deeper into Chris' world and Sam starts to meet new queer friends, a rift forms between them. Without Sam, who is Hannah? And what becomes of San Francisco to Hannah alone — a space rich with queer possibility, or an intimidating, unfamiliar place, just as lonely as the one she'd left behind? An achingly tender and resonant story of survival, first love, and growing up queer in the '90s, Girls Girls Girls is a piercing exploration of the choices we make in the thrilling and often confounding search for ourselves and home. (From Random House Canada) Girls Girls Girls is available in June 2025. Shoshana Von Blanckensee lives in Berkeley, California, with her partner and children. By day, she works as an oncology nurse, and in her spare moments, she writes. Girls Girls Girls is her debut novel.

Motley Crue star's plane involved in fatal crash on Arizona runway
A private plane owned by Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil has been involved in a fatal collision with another aircraft, his representative confirmed. The 64-year-old musician was not aboard the plane, which was flying into Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday when the incident happened, killing one person and injuring others. A message on the official Motley Crue Instagram account from Neil's representative, the lawyer Worrick Robinson, said for 'reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane'. 'On board Mr Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers,' the statement added. 'Mr Neil was not on the plane.' Mr Robinson added: 'More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation. 'Mr Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today.' According to Scottsdale Airport, the accident happened at 2.39pm local time (9.39pm GMT) on Monday, when a Learjet veered off the runway and struck a parked Gulfstream plane. It appeared that the left main landing gear of the arriving jet failed, resulting in the collision, the airport said. The airport's statement confirmed one person died while three other people are being treated in hospital after being injured. Another person refused medical treatment, the statement added. Scottsdale Airport said it will remain closed until further notice and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. 'I am extremely grateful to the first responders and airport operations staff on scene today for their swift action and service,' Scottsdale aviation director Gary P Mascaro said. 'We offer our deepest condolences to those affected by this tragedy.' Neil has been part of Motley Crue since the 1980s, becoming part of the line-up with bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars. The heavy metal superstars are best known for tracks Home Sweet Home, Kickstart My Heart and Girls Girls Girls. In 2022, Mars announced that he will no longer tour with the band citing health challenges. The year before, Neil broke ribs after falling off a stage while performing solo in Tennessee.
