Greetings from TIFF, where I just saw Broker and laughed and cried and got my heart hella squeezed. This week’s Pro-Tips are a bit anemic given, um, I dunno, the fact that the only thing people want to talk about is Don’t Worry Darling?! (My favorite take, per usual, comes from Hunter Harris.)
Also, the Queen just died.

- Amanda headed to London with Alexis Hall’s gay romance sequel, Husband Material.
- Mandy C. reviewed the latest from one of our fave authors, Anna-Marie McLemore.
