Erin Somers recommends
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."
