Chain Gang All Stars: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel
Nana Kwame Adjei-BrenyahJessamine ChanI’m adding my voice to the chorus to tell you to buy/read/tell all your friends about this book... It’s a super smart and wildly imaginative indictment of the American prison system, among many other things, but it’s also one of the most tender and big-hearted novels I’ve read.

Megan GiddingsJessamine ChanI imagine that reviews will emphasize the urgency of a fminist dystopian novel about autonomy, motherhood and surveillance, but here I'd like to tell readers that this novel is about witches and it's incredibly entertaining. If only we could all be witches.
