Erin Somers recommends
Flat Earth (2025)
Anika Jade Levy
"Witty and poignant . . . Funny and sharp . . . The book effectively portrays the psychology of young women who are chronically online . . . There is a layer of sadness under the flat surface, not quite accessible. This tension is ultimately where the novel succeeds in being beautiful. Levy is good at keeping the feeling out of reach."
The Book of Ayn (2023)
Lexi Freiman
"The rarest type of book - smart, hilarious, and audacious. A rebuke to both cynicism and self-righteousness that takes aim at pretty much everybody."
The Portrait of a Mirror (2021)
A Natasha Joukovsky
"The Portrait of a Mirror is part sex comedy, part satire about the world’s most hatable people. Joukovsky is unsparing—and hilarious—on the topics of marriage, success, and the self-absorption of the privileged class. Like overhearing a deliciously awful conversation at a Manhattan restaurant."
