Such a Fun Age

Kiley Reid (also rec’d by Mariah Carey ) · Buy on Amazon

"This is a super engaging page-turner, but it also has some really powerful things to say about race, privilege, and being an adult."

Red, White & Royal Blue

Casey McQuiston · Buy on Amazon

"This novel is the queer rom-com of my dreams. The Prince of England falling in love with the son of the US president?? AND the president is a woman?? Yes please. This book is so engaging and fun to read, and just the perfect cozy escapism from everything going on in the world right now."

Do You Mind If I Cancel?: (Things That Still Annoy Me)

Gary Janetti · Buy on Amazon

"I’m obsessed with Gary Janetti’s Instagram and his television writing, so I knew I’d also be obsessed with his book. It’s so relatable, so smart, and laugh-out-loud funny."

Broken People

Sam Lansky · Buy on Amazon

"You’ll cry and laugh and cry again. Sam Lansky is the most gorgeous writer, and this—his second book but first novel—is just magical. It’s a beautiful story about mental health, memory, and recovery."
