Beck Dorey-Stein recommends
Welcome Home, Caroline Kline (2024)
Courtney Preiss
"Courtney Preiss has written a laugh-out-loud original love letter to New Jersey and hit a home run with her debut novel. Wry and big-hearted, Welcome Home, Caroline Kline is a sporty romp, a summer romance, and a thoughtful exploration of what it means to grow up. Playful with a game-face focus on what matters, Preiss had me at 'rec specs'."
Trouble the Living (2023)
Francesca McDonnell Capossela
"Commanding and provocative, Trouble the Living is a hauntingly beautiful exaltation and cross-examination of family. Francesca Capossela's sharp observations are as tremendous as her sure-handed guidance across time, violence, and oceans. Each page proves rich with generosity and sticky with resonance as Capossela expertly weaves together the competing textures of identity. Trouble the Living is a masterful debut from a singular new voice."
Adelaide (2023)
Genevieve Wheeler
"Sharp-eyed and big-hearted, Adelaide dives headfirst into the tidal pulls of love, friendship, grief, and mental health. Wheeler captures the lively adventures of an American 20-something trying her best in London with dazzling humor and dizzying aplomb. This is a can't-miss, can't-put-down debut."
