The Cover Girl (2025)
Amy Rossi
"The Cover Girl is not just the glossy coming-of-age story of a model and muse. It's an immersive work of historical fiction, Rossi masterfully capturing the bombastic seventies and eighties, and an expertly woven retrospection, toggling between teenage Birdie Rhodes, blasting onto the modeling scene, and her older self, relegated to acting in drug ads. Rossi circles the enigmatic phenomena that is the It Girl, on the arm of a powerful and significantly older rocker, immortalized in song but forever unknowable, even to her older self. The result is a propulsive and richly layered story that shines a light on the women and girls who become collateral damage for the music, even as the men rock on, and a panoptic reflection on what happens to the cover girl after the world has forgotten her."
The Shutouts (2024)
Gabrielle Korn
"Gabrielle Korn expertly weaves together a complex web of characters and texts from various perspectives and times to examine how it is idealism can so easily degrade, the effects of which are claustrophobic and chilling. Written with necessary urgency, Yours for the Taking presents a terrifying vision of the future, yet what courses through its center are the connections that form under these bleak conditions, the love that keeps us living."
You're Safe Here (2024)
Leslie Stephens
"Leslie Stephens's near-future debut is a thrilling ride that explores what happens when we trust the tech industry with our wellbeing. Toggling between the experiences of the tech's creators and users, You're Safe Here is both an intimate character study during ecological crisis and a complex and deliciously readable jigsaw puzzle, fast-paced and full of surprises."
