My Train Leaves at Three (2025)
Natalie Guerrero
"A breezy, verve-y addition to the New York stories canon. Xiomara, the book's insecure underdog, is a grieving, self-sabotaging train wreck, and while it's fun to see the many ways she self-destructs, it's even more rewarding when the hardworking dreamer pushes through to softer places and truer connections. For readers who want to find love and success, Xiomara offers a hard-earned how-to and entertaining how-not-to."
