★ 5Flesh
David Szalay
Spare, propulsive, and oddly gripping. It follows one Hungarian man from a rough adolescence into wealth and back, and the flat, stripped-down style sneaks up on you.
★ 5Nothing to See Here
Kevin Wilson
A woman is hired to care for two kids who literally burst into flames when they're upset. Somehow this is a tender, hilarious book about love. Loved it.
★ 5And the Mountains Echoed
Khaled Hosseini
Hosseini spanning generations and continents from one act of separation. He always wrecks me.
