Marisa Crane recommends
Needle Lake (2025)
Justine Champine
"Suspenseful, immersive, and intoxicating . . . I couldn't turn the pages of Needle Lake fast enough. Champine has created a truly unforgettable character in Ida and captured the quiet terror of otherness. With a compelling voice and an incredible eye for detail, Champine finds language for an experience that often transcends language itself. I'll be thinking about Ida and this book for a long time."
Girls Girls Girls (2025)
Shoshana von Blanckensee
"Girls Girls Girls is a gorgeous, tender, and hopeful coming-of-age novel. von Blanckensee writes with wisdom and insight about self-discovery, first loves, queer community in 90s San Francisco, what it means to carve out a life for yourself, and ultimately, what and who makes a home. It's a road trip novel in the literal and metaphorical sense, a love letter to queerness, youth, and the courage it takes to leave so that one day you may return. Girls Girls Girls is a triumph, a big beating heart of a book, full of hard-fought victories. I loved every second of it."
The Shutouts (2024)
Gabrielle Korn
"Beautiful, tender, and revelatory, this book took my breath away....I read it in one sitting and you will, too. A propulsive masterpiece and a queer reckoning."
