Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday was just an absolute twist of a storyline and in a surprising way. I did not anticipate the second half of the book and the turn it takes you down.

Bernardine Evaristo
Jen PsakiJen Psaki

…I recommend over and over again: Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo because it weaves together in a surprising way the interconnectivity and commonalities between very different characters which is a reminder of how connected we all are no matter what it seems like on the surface.
