Choi's meditation on Trust and brilliant use of unpredictable, unreliable narration predates 'the other trust book' everyone's reading. It's steeped in the intense drama of adolescence which Choi describes as "…emotion packed like gunpowder into the barrel." (Note the gunpowder reference. It comes back in the end)

It's true; Fleabag is so 2019, but for me, it’s great to look back and commemorate the moment, before everything came crashing down, when one woman was making art in the shape of women. The Fleabag Scriptures contains entire scripts of seasons 1&2 and provides fans with an intimate view of how Waller-Bridge's mind works. Perfect for fans of the show, writers, actors, and humans on your list.
