Danielle Lazarin recommends
Her Kind (2026)
Sophie Lefens
"A moving novel about the power of showing up and the various ways we stay on, Her Kind asks what would happen if we took the love we needed, honored our chosen family, and let nature run its course. In assured and fluid prose, Lefens celebrates motherhood and the long arc of friendship at their most vulnerable turning points, reminding us of the miraculous ways love can stretch and enfold."
Fruit of the Dead (2024)
Rachel Lyon
"Rachel Lyon's genius, alluring novel is a mythic and modern love story: between mother and daughter, between a young woman and the danger she needs to experience, between her darkest and brightest selves. I read with my heart in my throat and my breath held, a total glutton for its sentences and Cory's propulsive, sparkling, and often terrifying journey."
How to Care for a Human Girl (2023)
Ashley Wurzbacher
"I was smitten by this story of two sisters teetering on the edge of the rest of their lives, trying to let go and hold on to each other - and themselves - all at once. A tender portrait of the threads of grief and familial devotion, How To Care for A Human Girl asks the essential question of womanhood: what does it mean to live your own life?"
