Worry (2024)
Alexandra Tanner
"Reading Worry felt like finding a strange jawbone on the beach. Tanner's novel is animal, salty, and deeply pleasurable to worry in my hands. This is a dark and laugh-out-loud funny debut about sisterhood, internet poisoning, and suspecting that there is something incurably wrong with you but not wanting to know what it is (relatable!). Worry homes all the trappings of our times that have nowhere else to go: tradwife influencers, Jewish survivor guilt, the boy who threatened to kill you in seventh grade and is now organizing your high school reunion. Good luck reading this book without underlining every other sentence - it slapped me across the face and then held an ice pack to my cheek until the swelling went down."
