Finding Yourself in Two Cities: A Deeper Look at “Gnight, Sara / ‘Night, Heck”

There’s a particular kind of book that doesn’t just tell a story — it holds up a mirror to a whole generation trying to figure out who they’re supposed to become. Justine Castellon and Mike Dee’s co-written novel, Gnight, Sara / ‘Night, Heck, is one of those books. On the surface, it’s a story about two people who meet in a coffee shop. Underneath, it’s a study of everything that happens in your twenties when the plans you made at eighteen collide with the person you’re actually turning into.
