A Beautiful Loan
A Beautiful Loan: A Novel
by Mary Costello
Powerful (1/15/2026)
A Beautiful Loan is a powerful and introspective novel that follows Anna Hughe's life over several decades as love and loss and quietly shape who she becomes. Mary Costello focuses on her inner life with writing that is thoughtful, restrained and emotionally precise. I like Anna because her character had depth and showed human flaws. Costello's work showed compassion.
Bad Bad Girl
Bad Bad Girl: A Novel
by Gish Jen
Raw and Sincere (6/27/2025)
Bad, Bad Girl is a piercing novel tracing a mother-daughter bond across generations. Jen fictionalizes her mother’s journey from rebellious youth in Shanghai in the 1920’s to immigrant life in America. It is layered with her own coming of age story. Both funny and heartbreakingly honest, it explores tradition, love and defiance.
People Like Us
People Like Us: A Novel
by Jason Mott
Groundbreaking (6/27/2025)
People Like Us is bold and unlike anything I’ve read before. It follows a black author on a surreal book tour trailed by a mysterious figure known only as The Kid. A parallel narrative follows an unnamed writer in NYC unraveling under the weight of memory and isolation. Mott weaves humor, grief and the mysterious into a multilayered novel on identity, authorship and being seen.
