"Warning: This book features domestic violence. If you're OK with that, proceed to immediately read The Names. It's written as three 'what ifs,' a sliding doors-type situation of what happens if different choices are made. It's beautifully written, thought-provoking, and just a lovely meditation on life and choice and why we are who we are. I can't recommend it enough."
"I love good dogs, I love good food, and I love a good thriller. This book combines all three into a really delightful romp through the apparently cutthroat world of... truffles. Our hero, Danny Pasko, is a Cincinnati musician living a modest life before his golden retriever unearths a sought-after truffle. Finding these fungi starts to turn into a lucrative side quest, until Danny gets told to cease and desist by centuries-old (and fiercely protective-slash-territorial) truffle fraternities. Original and entertaining."
"This was my favorite book of the month. It's about a woman who finds out one of her best and oldest friends dies in a senseless accident - and is then charged with getting his most meaningful possessions back from an ex-girlfriend who lives across the world. This is a book about friendship, grief, love, and understanding, by one of the writers of the TV show Hacks. It's beautifully written, funny, and heartbreaking."
"Hunger Games meets Handmaid's Tale in this dystopian debut! I was on the edge of my seat and could not stop reading this book. Plus, there was a little romance sprinkled in, which didn't hurt. The second installment in this series comes out this year."
One novel contains domestic violence and uses three alternate 'what if' scenarios to examine life, choice, and identity. Another novel follows Cincinnati musician Danny Pasko after his golden retriever discovers a sought-after truffle, drawing him into a dangerous, lucrative world guarded by secretive, territorial truffle fraternities. A different book follows a woman tasked with retrieving a deceased friend's most meaningful possessions from an ex-girlfriend abroad, exploring friendship, grief, love, and understanding with humor and heartbreak. A dystopian debut merges Hunger Games-style stakes with Handmaid's Tale-like control and includes a romantic subplot, with a sequel forthcoming.
