Isabel Kaplan recommends

Agnes Lives! (2026)
Hallie Elizabeth Newton
"Agnes Lives! is a ferociously smart debut. Hallie Elizabeth Newton is Jean Rhys for the SoulCycle generation. Agnes is an indelible, gimlet-eyed narrator with a deceptively tender heart. If you spent the Obama era tapping it back in Lululemon, consider yourself trigger-warned."

Rabbit Hole (2024)
Kate Brody
"In Teddy Angstrom, Kate Brody has constructed a memorable narrator whose distinctive blend of self-awareness and self-destructiveness will keep you both cringing and rooting for her. A witty and moving exploration of grief, loneliness, and obsession as well as a page-turning mystery, Rabbit Hole sucked me in more than any Reddit conspiracy theory thread ever could."

The Book of Ayn (2023)
Lexi Freiman
"Lexi Freiman's The Book of Ayn is a viciously funny and precisely observed satire of creative ambition under capitalism. It made me laugh, wince, and want to quit society. I loved it."
