All the Tomorrows After (2025)
Joanne Yi
"An incredibly accomplished, evocative, and compelling debut. The novel depicts the complexities of grief, loss, trauma, and the many forms of love in beautiful and nuanced ways. I was completely hooked from the start."

A Catalog of Burnt Objects (2025)
Shana Youngdahl
"This is a truly tender novel on many levels - a deeply moving story about loss, tragedy, and mistakes, and how these things can imprint in our bodies and in the ways we try to find ourselves. Through Caprice's eyes, we also get to know the people, vibrancy, and heart of the town of Sierra. You can't help but fall in love with the world inside this book."

When the World Tips Over (2024)
Jandy Nelson
"Sublime, intricate, and dazzling, When the World Tips Over kept opening and opening before me like a glorious map of treasures. I loved all of its delightful, flawed, sensitive characters, and the magic inside each of them. Jandy Nelson has created an epic and intimate tale. I adored it."
