Fireworks Every Night (2023)
Beth Raymer
"Raymer's first novel crackles with life and energy. There is nothing she can't do with a sentence. Each line catapults the story forward--a meteor of hilarity and heartbreak--so much so that I got to page 20 and flipped back to the beginning just for the pleasure of re-reading it. Her young, tough-voiced narrator, CC, made me long to drink gin-infused stolen oranges, sell Corvettes in a broiling used-car lot, and move to the swamplands of Florida, where snakes slither into school classrooms. This is a brilliant debut and a brilliant writer."
