Hi ladies. Love this issue! I have to admit that I was crushed (and shocked) by (Cup of Jo) Goddard's news, which I subsequently spent a day analyzing: Why did I even care that someone I never met was getting a divorce? I suppose it's because I followed Joanna back when she first started, like really just started, and she's always posting about her boys and great date night outfits and cute pics of her and her husband and their trips and the sweet things her kids say -- The way that she presented her life always felt so authentic. So to hear that she and her husband were miz for three years was a punch in the gut. I write fiction for a living, I've been a journalist for even longer, and still, I'm always surprised by how different the public face is compared with the private one. Everyone's interiority is so much more complicated than they let on.
