I wanted, just once in my life, for someone to kiss me like that, with such focus, such desire. And I wanted, just once, to kiss someone like that too. Not because they were around, not because I felt like I should. But because something voracious inside of me wouldn't be satisfied until I'd pressed myself against them.
Laura Hankin, from The Dreamers

InstaFiction: Stories of Influencing and Instagram Fame
InstaFiction: Stories of Influencing and Instagram Fame
My favorite novels where influencing, living life in public, and Instagram clues play a major role in the storyline.
In Jennifer Weiner’s Big Summer, when an awkward moment goes viral, Daphne turns her accidental fame into a side hustle as a popular plus-size Instagram influencer. This part is prime Jennifer Weiner fiction, about a chubby girl turning her setbacks into success. Daphne’s…

Review: One-Star Romance
Synopsis:
A struggling writer is forced to walk down the aisle at her best friend’s wedding with the man who gave her book a very public one-star rating in this fresh romantic comedy from Laura Hankin.
Natalie and Rob couldn’t have less in common. Nat’s a messy artist, and Rob’s a rigid academic. The only thing they share is their devotion to their respective best friends—who just got engaged.…

review - "happy and you know it" by laura hankin
Usually, I find my next reads through friend recs or booktok, but I honestly don't remember how I came across this book or what drew me to it. I think it may have just been an uneventful library trips where I just picked up whatever looked good. And lucky for me, I really enjoyed this find!
This novel is the tale of a wealthy mommy and me playgroup with the privileged women of New York's Park Avenue. They find a new musician to play at their play dates, and quickly begin to initiate her into their friend group, where she finds there's more to these women than just their designer strollers and luxury diaper bags. Divorce, infidelity, and even secret drug habits begin to come to light, and the musician finds herself in over her head with these women and they skeletons hiding in their walk-in closets.
I really liked this book, and definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good drama with some humor sprinkled in. This book is a little real housewives mixed with breaking bad, which is about as intriguing as it gets for me. 4/5 stars.

Title: Happy & You Know It
Author: Laura Hankin
Series or standalone: standalone
Publication year: 2020
Genres: fiction, contemporary, mystery
Blurb: After her former band shot to superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly agrees to a gig as a playgroup musician for overprivileged infants on New York’s Park Avenue. Claire is surprised to discover that she is smitten with her new employers - a welcoming clique of wellness addicts with impossibly shiny hair who whirl from juice cleanse to overpriced miracle vitamins to spin class with limitless energy. There is perfect hostess Whitney, who is on the brink of social-media stardom and just needs to find a way to keep her perfect life from falling apart; caustically funny, recent stay-at-home mom Amara, who is struggling to embrace her new identity; and old money, veteran mom Gwen, who never misses an opportunity to dole out parenting advice...but as Claire grows closer to the cool women who pay her bills, she uncovers secrets and betrayals that no amount of activated charcoal can fix.

A deliciously entertaining novel about the stars of a popular teen show from the early 2000s—and the reunion special, thirteen years after their scandalous flameout, that will either be their last chance at redemption, or destroy them all for good.
Back in 2004, The Daydreams had it a cast of innocent-seeming teenagers acting and singing their hearts out, amazing ratings, and a will-they-or-won’t-they romance that steamed up fan fiction forums. Then, during the live season two finale, it all imploded, leaving everyone scrambling to understand why.
Afterward, the four stars went down very different paths. Kat is now a lawyer in Washington, DC. Liana is the bored wife of a famous athlete. Noah, the show’s golden boy, emerged unscathed and is poised to become a household name. And Summer, the object of Noah’s fictional (and maybe real-life) affections, is the cautionary tale.
But now the fans are demanding a reunion special. The stars all have private reasons to come forgiveness, revenge, a second chance with a first love. But as they tentatively rediscover the magic of the original show, old secrets threaten to resurface—including the real reason behind their downfall.
Will this reunion be a chance to make things right? Or will it be the biggest mess the world has ever seen? No matter what, the ratings will be wild.

I've been told a million times that I am worthy of love just as I am, that I need to take a long look in the mirror, that I need to be the bigger person and move forward. But what good is it to become the bigger person when nobody else has to change? . . . I'll move on when everybody else has to look in the mirror too.

Former Prison Transport Officer - Rogeric Hankins - Sentenced
Former Private Prison Transport Officer, Rogeric Hankins, Sentenced to 9 Years in Prison
(STL.News) A former private prisoner transport officer, Rogeric Hankins, was sentenced in federal court in the Western District of Missouri to nine years in federal prison to be followed by three years of supervised release for violating a female pretrial detainee's civil rights by sexually assaulting her.
According to the plea agreement, at the time of the offense, Rogeric Hankins, 37, worked as a private prisoner transport officer for Inmate Services Corporation. As a private prisoner transport officer, Hankins performed the government function of picking up individuals who were arrested on out-of-state warrants and transporting those individuals back to the jurisdictions that issued the warrants. On March 31, 2020, Hankins picked up the victim, a female pretrial detainee, from jail in Olympia, Washington, to transport her to a jail in St. Paul, Minnesota.
On April 3, 2020, before arriving in Minnesota, Hankins stopped the transport van at a rest stop in Joplin, Missouri. Hankins brought the victim into the rest stop to use the bathroom. After the victim used the women's bathroom, Hankins led her into the men's bathroom and told her to go into the stall furthest from the door. Once inside the stall, Hankins began to try to pull the victim's shirt up. The victim resisted and told Hankins to stop. In response, Hankins told the victim to be quiet and made her perform a sexual act on him. Hankins then bent the victim over a toilet seat and raped her.
"The defendant sexually abused and violently assaulted a woman in his custody, exploiting his authority and depriving this survivor of her constitutional right to bodily integrity," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "This sentence sends a clear message that the Justice Department is committed to protecting victims of sexual violence carried out at the hands of any and all law enforcement officials. The privatization of positions in law enforcement does not change the fact that these individuals can and must be held accountable when they violate our federal civil rights laws."
"This former prisoner transport officer sexually assaulted a detainee who was in his custody while transporting her through Missouri," said U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore for the Western District of Missouri. "Today, he is being held accountable for abusing his position of trust and authority. The Department of Justice is committed to protecting the civil rights of all citizens, including those in custody."
"Hankins abused his power and sexually assaulted the victim while she was extremely vulnerable," said Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. of the FBI Minneapolis Field Office. "Today's sentencing sends a clear message that those who abuse their position of power to sexually assault the very people they are sworn to protect will be held accountable. The FBI is committed to protecting the Constitutional rights of all citizens and pursuing justice on behalf of the victims in cases like this."
The FBI Minneapolis Field Office investigated this case with assistance from the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
Trial Attorney Laura Gilson and former Special Litigation Counsel Fara Gold of the Civil Rights Division's Criminal Section prosecuted this case with assistance from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri.
