Ruta Sepetys recommends
Not Nothing (2024)
Gayle Forman
"Tenderly layered and beautifully constructed. Forman weaves an intensely moving portrait of stories separated by generations but inextricably connected by the experience of having known love and lost it."
The Blood Years (2023)
Elana K Arnold
"The Blood Years gives us tragically underrepresented history viewed through a lens of love. Devastating and beautiful."
Berliners (2022)
Vesper Stamper
"A richly layered, complex historical novel that poses important questions and provides a chilling lens into a dark period of history."
