Haley Jakobson recommends
We Could Be Rats (2025)
Emily Austin
"We Could Be Rats is achingly true to life - in all its ugly, gorgeous, and stupidly funny complexities. Emily Austin has written a tender exploration of grief, sisterhood, and what it is to be a bit wobbly in a world that demands you get your footing. No one blends humor and existentialism quite like Austin - We Could Be Rats is a must read."
The Most Famous Girl in the World (2024)
Iman Hariri-Kia
"Addictive and hilarious, The Most Famous Girl in The World holds up a mirror to our own questionable obsessions, and asks us if we can ever really know who we're giving a platform to. Also, really really hot sex."
Rules for Ghosting (2024)
Shelly Jay Shore
"Rules for Ghosting is the kind of book you want to live in. This gorgeous debut marvels at new life and does not shy away from life lost. It cracks open the meaning of the word 'haunting'--whether that be of discarded identity, hidden yearning, or literal ghosts. Best of all, Shelly Jay Shore has written the soft-Jewish-trans-boy-who-sees-dead-people of our literary dreams. I'd read a million pages about Ezra Friedman and still be left wanting more."
