Misa Sugiura recommends

This Place Is Still Beautiful (2022)
XiXi Tian
"Tian excavates the awkward, ugly truths we avoid, and exposes them with raw emotional honesty and grace. This book made me feel seen in a way that very few books ever have. I found myself nodding and saying, 'Yes, that's so true!' over and over again."

The Silence that Binds Us (2022)
Joanna Ho
"A clarion call to search out, listen to, and uplift the narratives - personal, societal, and historical - that have been silenced by factors as intimate as shame and as broad as colonialism. Maybelline's insightful, honest narration frames her awkward conversations and her eloquent poetry to tell a vitally important story that everyone needs to hear."

Milo and Marcos at the End of the World (2022)
Kevin Christopher Snipes
"Milo will win your heart as he risks incurring the literal wrath of God - and losing everything in the process - in order to own his identity and love himself as he is."

Flip the Script (2022)
Lyla Lee
"Fans will flip for this heartwarming romance. Behind-the-scenes showbiz drama, a handsome K-pop star, fake dating, an LGBTQ twist, and an ending that made me want to stand up and cheer - there's so much to love about this book!"

Not My Problem (2021)
Ciara Smyth
"A charming romp of a rom-com about the delights and terrors of falling in love. Saoirse is a heroine for the ages; she is smart, flawed, funny, and—when she lets her guard down—achingly vulnerable. This book will make your heart sing. Read it."

Where the Road Leads Us (2021)
Robin Reul
"Jack and Hallie's journey is filled with surprises and sweet discoveries about our choices in life; you'll be glad you jumped on board. Anyone who has faced loss and uncertainty in their life will relate to this emotionally honest, hopeful book."

The Key to You and Me (2021)
Jaye Robin Brown
"Piper and Kat are imperfect, but always trying their best—aren't we all?—and Brown had me rooting for them all the way through this sweet, slow burn romance. Their triumphs, their blunders, and the way they swing between confidence and self-doubt are utterly relatable."

Wider than the Sky (2021)
Katherine Rothschild
"Sabine’s struggle to reconcile her memory of her father with the man he really was—and to make room in her life for his hopes as well as her own—cuts to the heart of what it means to love someone unconditionally. Wider than the Sky skillfully weaves multiple character arcs together to examine the ideas of home, hope, and family in surprising new ways."

We Are Not Free (2020)
Traci Chee
"This novel is nothing short of a masterpiece. In We Are Not Free, Traci Chee gives us the most comprehensive novelization of the Japanese American internment that I've ever read, without sacrificing the intimate and achingly human individual experience. Traci Chee's characters don't step off the page so much as they shuffle, sashay, and swagger. With them, you will blaze with incandescent rage, crumble with internalized shame, and laugh with true, soul-deep joy. Each individual voice, each individual story is a gem; taken as a whole, they are an unforgettable wonder that you will want to return to again and again."
