The Leftovers
Tom Perrotta
After a Rapture-like event, it follows the ordinary people left behind. More about grief than the mystery.
White Ivy
Susie Yang
A young Chinese American woman, part thief, claws toward the life she wants. Dark, addictive, morally slippery.
★ 5Pretending
Holly Bourne
A woman burned by men invents a 'perfect' fake self to date as. Angry and funny and more moving than I expected.
