I just finished Kate Quinn’s latest book and I’m kind of in shock. I love everything she’s written, and this one’s even set in the Boston Public Library… so why was it such a chore to get through? Someone tell me I’m not alone here.

On the bright side, John Crist is coming to Boch Center Shubert Theatre in the fall and we’ve got free tickets. Enter to win!*

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: COURTNEY DWYER

We found a way to be nosy and call it networking. The Local Spotlight is our weekly excuse to yap with cool people doing cool things around Boston. This week, we caught up with Courtney Dwyer, who launched In Your Court Marketing in the middle of the pandemic and has built it into one of Boston’s most influential agencies. She hustles hard for her clients and her community, and she’s building her own legacy in a city obsessed with them.

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• March Madness is better with a cold drink and a giant screen. We pulled together the top spots to tune in for the Final Four this weekend.
