★ 5Freedom
Jonathan Franzen
Franzen doing what he does — a big, dysfunctional American family novel. Not everyone loves him but I got completely absorbed.
★ 5White Fur
Jardine Libaire
A doomed love story across class lines in 1980s New York. Gritty, romantic, and intense.
★ 5Romantic Comedy
Curtis Sittenfeld
An SNL-style writer falls for the pop star hosting the show and refuses to believe it could work. Smart, swoony, very fun.
