A cure for any reading slump... It’s set in near-future, in an incarnation of a city like New York. The story is about a mother with two kids, a field trip they take as a special treat, and the 😳 things that happen. It is so compelling I zipped through this in two days

Who loves family sagas? LONG ISLAND COMPROMISE by @taffyakner chronicles the Fletcher family of Middle Rock, New York, decades after their patriarch, Carl, is kidnapped and held for ransom. The writing here is sharp, insightful and witty, I loved every second of this brilliant novel.

Lucky Night

Original voice, beautiful brilliant writing, the last fifty pages had me reading as fast as I possibly could. It’s about a couple who are staying in a high-rise luxury hotel that catches on fire. There’s a lot going on here, all of it compelling.

Masterpiece ... I was COMPLETELY ENRAPTURED by this stunning novel. The writing and character development is sublime and inventing a video game sounds a lot like writing a novel. This book will be a top nine for me this year. Glorious, brilliant job, @gabriellezevin — brava!!!!

This is of the best of the year so far. Accessible, engrossing, a family you’ll never forget. Brava @kimcolemanfoote and @sjplit for bringing COLEMAN HILL to the world. I loved it so much that I immediately put it in my novel The Academy (the fifth-form is reading it in English class.) Instant classic.

All Fours

Miranda July

A must-read in my opinion. Propulsive and compelling, sumptuously written. Lots of sex (some of you will love this, some won’t.) I will never forget this novel @mirandajuly — genius.

FAR AND AWAY by the incredibly talented @amypoeppel is everything you want in a summer read. It’s a house-swap novel and although you may be thinking yeah yeah I’ve read those before, this novel is so smart, so fresh and engaging that it will feel brand new.

Show Don't Tell: Stories

Curtis Sittenfeld
Elin HilderbrandElin Hilderbrand

A freaking master class in how to write compelling, layered, nuanced fiction that it should not be missed. The stories are about everyday things — marriage, parenting, and the final story revisits the main character from PREP in the most brilliant, unexpected way.
