Anna Johnston recommends

Good Joy, Bad Joy (2026)
Mikki Brammer
"With compassion and insight, Good Joy, Bad Joy shines a light on the quiet invisibility that settles over women as they age, then sweeps it aside with humor and heart. This deeply human novel captures the beauty of lifelong friendship and the gentle, inspiring truth that we are never finished becoming ourselves."

Start at the End (2026)
Emma Grey
"Captivating and original, this exquisitely crafted story sits in the ache of loss and gently shows us how to breathe again. Emma Grey writes as though emotion itself is her native tongue."

Lauryn Harper Falls Apart (2025)
Shauna Robinson
"Funny, heartwarming, and brimming with small-town charm, this book is a delightful reminder that life isn't about the rat race-but the people who give you the courage to slow down."
