Linda works in digital hygiene as a social media content moderator. Largely unbothered by this cumbersome job, Linda’s only focus is on saving enough money to flight once a month in the hopes that she’ll meet her avian soulmate and they will be united for eternity. Linda is one of the most memorable characters you will ever encounter, and bearing witness to her pursuit is immensely enjoyable. Linda is incredibly relatable, quirks and all, and reminds you of feeling adrift, waiting for the sign that you’re where you need to be. Her fear of being judged, of her weirdness being used as a weapon, is particularly resonant. Kate Folk is a hilarious writer and I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with. 

Thank you Kate Folk, Random House, and Netgalley for advance access to Sky Daddy! Stay tuned for its release on April 8, 2025.
