Isabel Banta recommends
Worse Than Strangers (2026)
Kyleigh Leddy
"A beach read with fierce intelligence and wit. I loved everything about it."
Girls Our Age (2026)
Phoebe Thompson
"Girls Our Age is full of heart, tenderness, and characters who are so lifelike they might as well be my own friend group, with all the struggles, doubts, and aches of twentysomething adulthood. Thompson's empathetic and riveting debut pulls on the heartstrings, will make you text your friends just to tell them how much you love them, and announces an exciting new voice in fiction."
Boring Asian Female (2026)
Canwen Xu
"Canwen Xu's sharp-edged debut will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering just how far the protagonist will go. Unputdownable, addictive, and relentlessly clever, it is surely, as the protagonist Elizabeth would say, in the 99th percentile for riveting novels. Xu is a writer to watch."
