On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
Ocean Vuong
This debut novel, a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read, is more than anything a work of poetry, one so rich and moving it clearly draws on lived experience. I’m not a big re-reader, but I’d like to go back to both of these.
★ 5Friendship
Emily Gould
Two best friends in New York hit the point where their lives start to diverge. Gould nails that specific late-twenties friendship ache.
The Most
Jessica Anthony
A tennis-champ-turned-housewife climbs into her apartment pool one warm November afternoon in 1957 and simply won't get out. A tiny, tense novel about a marriage cracking open in real time.
