BLACK GIRLS MUST DIE EXHAUSTED by Jayne Allen

It’s the first novel in a three-book-series focusing on a woman whose “perfect life” and has a wrench thrown into it with an unexpected infertility diagnosis. Un-put-downable.

GIRLHOOD by Melissa Febos

I’m obsessed with this intellectually airtight exploration of the pathway from girlhood to womanhood. It should be required reading, for all genders.

FLORIDA by Lauren Groff

This collection of wickedly dark, unsettling-in-a-David-Lynch-way short stories stayed with me long after I’d finished the book. Thrilling, surreal, and wild.

THE IDEA OF YOU by Robinne Lee

I can’t rave enough about this one – a chic, sexy, brilliantly escapist love story about a forty-year-old art gallerist in secret, lusty love with the lead singer of a boy band (ie, her tween daughter’s crush).

Tolentido’s one of our finest cultural critics! Her witty, whip-smart essays tackle everything from reality TV to social media – and expose some of our most profound self-delusions in modern life.

“A novel that pulses with love — for community, for family, for the spaces that make us — and sings with every stanza. UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS is a stunning ode to community that I already know I’ll be returning to again and again.” — @byleahjohnson, bestselling author of Stonewall Honor book, You Should See Me in a Crown.

"I’ve read (and watched) Pride and Prejudice more times than I could count, so I went into this with high expectations. Fans of the original will delight in this one which essentially takes the story and updates it with celebrities, influencers, Hollywood and a tiny town in Australia." ✨
