Chelsea G Summers recommends
Man's Best Friend (2024)
Alana B Lytle
"Man's Best Friend is a discomfiting, elegant slow-burn that's deliciously feral. It's a wild ride to watch the novel's 20-something protagonist, El, find herself in the most unlikely of places. Fans of fiction featuring morally dubious characters, fractious female relationships, and unsettling love interests will love this darkly beautiful debut from Alana B. Lytle."
The Centre (2023)
Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi
"The Centre is a banger! I don't know how Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi managed to write a book that feels both cheery and terrifying, but The Centre draws you in with a gentle hand until it throws the mallet down in the last thirty pages. A terrific meditation on language, diaspora, alienation, and culture, The Centre will stay with you long after you read its last, luscious, loopy sentence."
Death of a Bookseller (2023)
Alice Slater
"Alice Slater triumphs in Death of a Bookseller, the story of two frenemies who share an antagonistic obsession with true crime. I love a book that features messy women making very bad choices, and this novel delivers the delicious juice in a surprising, twisty narrative that has you guessing until its unpredictable end."
