The wait is over. We are now officially knocking on the door of 2023. And here at InsideHook we’re pretty sure we’ve got you primed and ready for the festivities. We’ve recommended all the boozes — and we even found the best cures for the hangover the next day. 

As you are well aware, we are pretty good at recommendations. Whether it be travel inspo, new workouts, the latest style trends, or just a good book or TV show, we will always be a trusted source in helping you find all the best new things. But we aim to be a lot more. 

Throughout the year we’ve also brought you interesting stories from around the globe about people, places and things that won’t show up in your other news feeds and on sites you visit. And as we leap into ‘23, it is something that we plan on focusing on even more in the coming months. With that in mind, we’ve collected a few of these longer reads that you might have missed this year — from soccer fandom to sex cults and internet startups to island adventures. So, please, take a few minutes and dive with us into these weird and wonderful worlds, perhaps while you’re stuck to the couch recovering from the forthcoming festivities. Cheers, and Happy New Year.
