Jacqueline Crooks recommends

Upward Bound (2026)
Woody Brown
"Reading Upward Bound reminded me of why stories matter. Woody Brown's writing carries an earned wisdom that remains with us long after the final page."

Sunstruck (2025)
William Rayfet Hunter
"Hunter's debut skilfully follows the journey of an aspiring Black musician drawn into a world of privilege and excess. Beautifully written and well-paced . . . builds tension as it approaches an exciting revelation."

Dominoes (2024)
Phoebe McIntosh
"Cracking dialogue, fascinating storyline, compelling characters, and more. I loved this book."
