Comedian and podcaster Brooke Averick is adding "author" to her ever-expanding list of accomplishments. Her debut novel, Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It, hitting shelves May 26, has all the charm of an early-2000s rom-com, while blending quirky humor with a meaningful exploration of mental health. The novel follows an eccentric and endearing hopeless romantic named Phoebe, who is one month away from becoming a 30-year-old virgin. Determined to finally lose it, Phoebe crafts a checklist that's sure to help her get laid before the big day, if her own anxiety doesn't get in the way first. We recently sat down with Brooke to discuss this highly anticipated debut, her journey with Phoebe, and what she hopes her readers take away from Phoebe's story. 1. Can you pinpoint the moment of inspiration that made you say, "This is more than just an interesting idea. I need to write this book!"? Brooke: Something happened to me a few years ago, and I can't go into detail without spoiling the book, but something happened — and it was not the most amazing thing — but I was able to cope by being like, "Wow, this would be a really good book." I think

Becky Campos, creator of the Tumblr account justgirlythings, shares how she created an online culture long before the influencer world we know ...

May 23, 2026, 9:01 a.m. ET For online users who remember logging on to the family desktop after school, or for those who were lucky, an early-age iPhone, the phrase "justgirlythings" may ring a bell.

"That felt really cool to me." Fifteen years since its creation, many justgirlythings followers didn't know what Campos looked like, until recently, when she shared a video
