Everything about the summary to Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran (out March 10, thank you to Doubleday for the ARC) made me so unbearably excited to read it. “The untimely death of a student at a girls’ boarding school turns out to be the first in a haunting series of escalating supernatural events. A thrilling debut novel aboutRead More
Sophomore Graphic Novel Fires on All Cylinders: Cannon by Lee Lai Review
Cannon by Lee Lai (she/her) is a thought-provoking and propulsive graphic novel that explores how one can get taken advantage of in all different types of relationships—family, friend, romantic, and professional—and the importance of making yourself and your mental health a priority. Lucy, also known as Cannon, a nickname lovingly coined by her best friend, Trish,Read More
A Sizzling Sports Romance: Set Point by Meg Jones
While I’m not usually much of a sports romance person, recent pop culture events have gotten me a little more intrigued by the genre. In the very specific mood to read romance complicated by the high stakes and rivalries of professional athletics, I downloaded an eARC of Meg Jones’s upcoming tennis romance novel Set Point on aRead More
A Fictional Account of a (Maybe) Real Pirate: The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye by Briony Cameron
Briony Cameron’s The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye takes the story of the legendary pirate Jacquotte Delahaye and imagines her rise to captain of a fleet of over a hundred pirates. While her existence is debated, her legacy nonetheless makes for a fascinating story, one that deserves to be shared as widely as any other historical (or semi-historical)Read More
Finding Yourself On a Cross-Country Train Journey: Leaving the Station by Jake Maia Arlow Review
I have been eagerly awaiting this book since the moment Jake announced it on Instagram as a YA (arguably, New Adult) novel about a cross-country train journey (shoutout to the Amtrak Empire Builder, which I’ve never ridden anywhere near the distance the route actually spans, but have caught a leg of), an ex-Mormon (samesies), and aRead More
A Snack-Sized Coming of Age Romance: A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen Review
Trinity Nguyen’s debut novel was not what I expected—in the best way. Vivi, a Vietnamese American, lies to her parents about where she’s studying abroad. With a mother who refuses to speak of the Vietnam she fled as a young adult, Vivi is desperate for some connection with her roots and potential family she hasRead More

Between Devotion and Obsession: Lonely Crowds by Stephanie Wambugu Review
In “Lonely Crowds,” we follow the complex relationship between protagonists Ruth and Maria. The two meet as children at their all-girls Catholic school in New England and become fast friends. Ruth is the only child of recent immigrants, and Maria is an orphan under the care of her mentally ill aunt, and the two are someRead More
The Horror of Empire, Tempered with Hope: Countess by Suzan Palumbo Review
Begin your year with revolution! Or at least that’s what I thought when I picked up Suzan Palumbo’s Countess. The novella invokes the anti-colonialist spirit so desperately needed in 2026, and it opens with an inscription that acknowledges the crater of its impact: There is horror here, but there is also always hope. We meet our protagonist,Read More
From the Closet to the Stage: In Her Spotlight by Amy Spalding Review
Maybe the best compliment I can give In Her Spotlight by Amy Spalding (February 24, 2026) is that as soon as I finished it, I opened my library app and borrowed all three of the previous books in her Out in Hollywood series. To be clear, I had read—and enjoyed—them all before. I just wantedRead More
