Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar (2025)
Katie Yee
"Maggie is a stunning novel. With sharp wit and a keen eye for the messy intricacies of human connection, Yee has written a story as playful as it is profound. I immediately loved the narrator and was captivated by her journey, her humor, and insight. Maggie is a gem of a novel, one that will make you think, make you feel, and make you laugh."
The Names (2025)
Florence Knapp
"A tour de force. . . truly mesmerizing and profound. Knapp crafts a world where names are keys that can unlock the truth about who we are and who we can become. At once haunting and revelatory, The Names is a brilliant exploration of the choices that define our lives."
The Road to Tender Hearts (2025)
Annie Hartnett
"The Road to Tender Hearts is a brilliant and poignant journey of family, forgiveness, and rediscovery. This road trip has it all - a cast of quirky characters, unhealed family wounds, attempts to rekindle lost connections, even a cat that can sense death, but most of all, it's great fun! Hartnett, like always, has drawn such complex, endearing, and hilarious characters, you'll root for them to the very end. This novel will leave you thinking about your own journeys - both the ones taken and the ones still ahead. It's a moving, unforgettable story about the power we have to change our lives."
