Welcome Home, Caroline Kline (2024)
Courtney Preiss
"Courtney Preiss' debut novel Welcome Home, Caroline Kline is lovely and engaging, funny and smart and sometimes sad. I rooted so hard for Caroline Kline, a young woman who makes a life for herself out in New York City, but somehow finds herself back in her childhood bedroom. This is a worst nightmare scenario to anyone who had grown up in New Jersey and also so very relatable. Her journey is a quiet triumph."
Since She's Been Gone (2024)
Sagit Schwartz
"It's been a long time since I fell so hard for a character as I did for Beatrice 'Beans' Bennett. I worried so much about the vulnerable teenage Beans, and then, the adult woman struggling with the same veritable demon, ED. The menacing voice of this eating disorder is as scary as the assassins at Bean's heels as she searches for her missing mother. Sagit Schwarz's debut novel Since She's Been Gone is a remarkable debut. Intense, engrossing, and enthralling."
How Can I Help You (2023)
Laura Sims
"Laura Sims's How Can I Help Youtakes you inside the seedy underworld of - brace yourself - the small town public library. Turns out, it's kind of shocking. Turns out, the kindly, cardigan-wearing librarians on the other side of the circulation desk have strong feelings about the bad behavior of library patrons -- and, even more shocking -- are not so well-behaved themselves. Sims's sharp, incisive second novel is an out-and-out page turner."
