Natalka Burian recommends
A Quantum Love Story (2024)
Mike Chen
"Mike Chen strikes an effortless balance between science fiction, action, and heart. This book kept me turning pages late into the night with its propulsive plot and irresistible characters. A Quantum Love Story is a love letter to second chances and beyond."
Last Call on Decatur Street (2020)
Iris Martin Cohen
"Last Call on Decatur Street is a gorgeous book about how we are shaped by the people we know--over the course of a childhood, a lifetime, and even a single night. It shines a loving light on New Orleans' thorny beauty, and gives us a glamorous and gritty close-up of those extravagant and emotional adventures that can only happen when the sun goes down."
