Small Admissions
Amy Poeppel
A heartbroken young woman lands a job in private-school admissions. Light, funny, and a peek behind a very specific curtain.
★ 5Small Pleasures
Clare Chambers
1950s England, a lonely journalist, and a woman claiming a virgin birth. Quiet, tender, and it wrecked me.
★ 5Rabbit Cake
Annie Hartnett
Narrated by a grief-stricken, wonderfully odd little girl after her mother drowns sleepwalking. Funny and sad in the same breath, and Hartnett never puts a foot wrong.
