High Season (2025)
Katie Bishop
"High Season ripped me out of a reading slump as I found myself devouring this tale of privilege, loss, and the slippery nature of memory. The setting is so perfectly rendered that you can almost taste the saltwater, and the characters are so sensitively drawn I often had a knot in my stomach as I read late into the night. Bishop writes unbelievably beautifully about the complex relationships forged in youth, and the fragility of memory in the aftermath of tragedy."

Saltwater (2025)
Katy Hays
"A masterful, riveting, and unsettling tale of privilege, greed, and lust . . . I can't remember reading a book with as many deftly executed twists and revelations. I devoured it in what felt like seconds."

Madwoman (2024)
Chelsea Bieker
"Much like motherhood itself, Madwoman is a book of beautiful contradictions - shattering and funny, thrilling and nuanced, heartbreaking and life-affirming, scathing yet sincere - -I devoured every perfect sentence about the scars we carry both from and for the ones we love. A truly stunning read - this is my book of the year."
