Nymph (2026)
Sofia Montrone
"This shimmering gem of a novel invites you to re-experience that gut-punch feeling of youthful summer romance. Suffused with moody sunsets, lush summer heat, and confused yearning, studded with scenes of startling clarity and swoon-worthy sentences, Nymph is a truly impressive debut."
Underspin (2025)
E Y Zhao
"E. Y. Zhao's virtuosic debut explores the underside of athletic success, spinning an intimate and exacting portrait of the high stakes world of elite table tennis. It is about the price paid when the pursuit of excellence goes awry, when love and abuse, tenderness and brutality, begin to feel synonymous. Written in kinetic, thrilling prose that vibrates on the page, Underspin will pull you into its relentless rally and leave you breathless."
Endling (2025)
Maria Reva
"Wild, exhilarating, heartbreaking...Over and over again, Endling delivers flashes of beauty and grace and dares us to see hope amidst wreckage and ruin."
