I love hearing the background of this! I think both covers work super well (having read the book) but they appeal to two different markets. The hardcover has that definite Catherine Newman vibe: what I think of as the literary mom market. The paperback appeals more to the Gen Z lit girl aesthetic, very Coco Mellors.

Astute analysis!
Yes those are exactly the two authors/books I thought of when I saw this, too.
Fisher, I am so curious to hear how Hazel sells in your bookstore in paperback — if this new vibe/appeal turns into new/different readers.
I will have to keep an eye out! 😊
