Katie Yee recommends

My Person (2026)
Téa Mutonji
"Thank god for Tea Mutonji. Her new novel, My Person, covers the tricky territory of two lifelong friends extricating themselves from each other's lives. It sounds sad, and it is, but it's also sexy, infuriating, and unbelievably fun to read. You can tell you're in the hands of a poet; the writing crackles on the page. This is a writer who can read someone to filth in just one line. If you've ever known the pain of a friend breakup, this one's for you. Tea Mutonji has managed to take some of the ugliest thoughts and worst moments and turn it into a sparkling novel about reclaiming your sense of self."

Mare (2026)
Emily Haworth-Booth
"Mare is part love letter, part poetry, part guidebook on how to ride a horse, how to care for others, and how to be a woman in the world. This novel is a tender and refreshing exploration of loving without ownership. Meditative, then marvelously startling in parts. With Emily Haworth-Booth at the reins (sorry), you'll find yourself happy to go along for the ride."

The Adjunct (2026)
Maria Adelmann
"A good writer might have a stance on some of the important issues of their time; a great writer will push the conversation further, as Maria Adelmann has done with The Adjunct. It's an outrageous, smart novel about the rat race of academia, the MeToo movement, and debt from a writer whose masterful sleight of hand is saying the quiet parts loud, who is not afraid to sit in the uncomfortable gray space - and to paint it with even more hues. Conversational yet piercing, this is a powerful portrait of a woman in dire circumstances. This book has bite and one of the most damning endings I've ever read. I'm obsessed."
