You Would Have Told Me Not To (2020)
Christopher Coake
"You Would Have Told Me Not To is populated with people so real, I found myself smiling at their triumphs, laughing at their jokes, and wishing I could intervene when they inevitably screwed up. It's the type of book that stays with you long after you put it down."
Lake City (2019)
Thomas Kohnstamm
"Kohnstamm knowingly illuminates the underbelly of Seattle - a place of beater cars, strip clubs, and a subpar hypermarket - far from the hipsters and gentrifiers. Hilarious as it is cutting, Lake City offers an all-too-insightful critique of clashing classes and misguided ideas of success."
Campaign Widows (2018)
Aimee Agresti
"Fun, dishy, and (yikes) all-too-real...Twenty-first century politics might be an unmitigated disaster, but I adored my time with this collection of vibrant, compelling characters. My vote is an enthusiastic 'yes' for Campaign Widows."
