Billie Starr's Book of Sorries (2022)
Deborah E Kennedy
"Compelling, compassionate, and deliciously comic, Billie Starr's Book of Sorries is the story of a struggling single mother who makes some highly questionable choices-and falls in with some pretty low companions-to provide for her precocious (and hilarious) young daughter. Deborah Kennedy's writing is so smart and vigorous and big-souled, I loved every moment spent with these beleaguered but resilient humans who, like the best of us, somehow, exhilaratingly, muddle through."

Everyone Knows How Much I Love You (2020)
Kyle McCarthy
"A suspenseful, sexy, and gorgeously written excavation of best-friend envy. I read it with horror. And recognition. And great delight."
