★ 5Cherry
Nico Walker
An army medic comes home to opioid addiction and bank robbery. Raw, propulsive, and unnervingly close to the author's own life.
Pachinko
Min Jin Lee
The book opens in a Korean fishing village in the early 1900s. A teenage girl is pregnant and must flee to Japan. Min Jin Lee follows her family across four generations — each paying for what came before. It’s long, but it pulls.

Laurie Colwin
Colwin writing about happy people in love, which sounds boring and is somehow the opposite. Warm, witty, and completely charming.
