Haley Jakobson recommends
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."
