The Wild Beneath (2026)
Kelly Anderson
"An incandescent debut. Kelly Anderson pares the world down to its essentials and reminds us of the beauty and mystery of being alive...I did not want to come up for air."
People in Love (2026)
Claire Daverley
"People in Love is magnificent. Claire Daverley is uniquely alert to the texture of a life, both internal and external, and renders it in such detail that one has the pleasure of fully inhabiting her characters. Not only their days - their living rooms and kitchens - but also their families, their memories, and their hearts. Daverley writes with wisdom, kindness, and humor about the glory and pain of love in all its forms. I am particularly admiring of the depth and complexity of her characters and of the beauty she finds in their humanity."
Love By the Book (2026)
Jessica George
"Friendships are often the central relationships of our lives; why are they usually treated as storyline B in novels? Not in this transporting new novel by Jessica George. As enveloping, soul-filling and moreish as an evening with a friend, Love by the Book challenges us to take a closer look at adult friendship and platonic love. As is true with the best friend-dates, I couldn't wait for evening to come so I could hang out with Remy and Simone (and especially with Remy's mom). This novel might just inspire you to put yourself out there and ask a new friend out to dinner."
