Jasmine Sealy recommends
My Person (2026)
Téa Mutonji
"A novel unlike anything I've read before, teeming with pathos, authenticity and wit. On the surface My Person is about friendship - the intimacy, the codependency, the envy, the rage and the love - but also it's a novel about a Black girl who dares to behave badly, to shun the expectations of those around her and search for freedom while in a freefall. My Person is sexy, hilarious, devastating and compulsively readable. I downed it in one sitting like a shot of hard liquor, savouring the burn. An explosive debut from a once-in-a-generation talent."
Broughtupsy (2024)
Christina Cooke
"Through prose that leaps off the page and burrows under your skin, Christina Cooke renders a Jamaica that is lush, sensuous, and brimming with hope and joy. A heartrending exploration of grief, loss, identity, and desire--of family and all the ways the ones you love can hurt and heal you--Broughtupsy is a marvel."
