Ellie Eaton recommends
Until Alison (2025)
Kate Russo
"Instantly earning a place in the canon of dead girl college campus novels, Kate Russo's Until Alison is a chillingly readable tale about adolescent cruelty, popularity, and class. When the body of her former classmate, Alison, is discovered at a local swimming hole, Rachel Nardelli embarks on a reluctant exhumation of their friendship, capturing in forensic detail the horrors of eighth-grade rivalry, and how far teenagers will go in the name of self-preservation. Exposing the tension between the crimes we commit in our youth and the people we become as adults, Until Alison is a masterclass in middle school angst."
My Last Innocent Year (2023)
Daisy Alpert Florin
"My Last Innocent Year is a tightrope walk of a debut novel about womanhood, power, and privilege. Quietly propulsive, this is a book that asks us to reexamine the relationship between coercion and consent, a subtly crafted character study of an artist in the making--I could not put it down."
Geography of an Adultery (2022)
Agnès Riva
"Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux, Agnes Riva's cool, crisply written debut charts the course of an affair with prose so perfectly precise and unyielding, you know you are in the hands of an exceptionally talented draftswoman. Deft and unexpectedly witty, Geography of an Adultery operates like a blueprint, mapping the boundaries of a midlife affair - the ache of obsessive love, the headiness of clandestine encounters - exploring the shifting balance of power between two lovers, from car seat trysts to hotel bathrooms. Meticulously paced, this wry exploration of desire (and its limits) has moments of such brilliant bathos I laughed out loud."
