Goodbye, Vitamin (2017)
Rachel Khong
"This novel sneaks up on you - just like life . . . and heartbreak. And love."
thumb
The Idiot (2017)
(Idiot , book 1)
Elif Batuman
"The Idiot is a hilariously mundane immersion into a world that has never before received the 19th Century Novel treatment. An addictive, sprawling epic; I wolfed it down."
thumb
The Lonely Hearts Hotel (2017)
Heather O'Neill
"The Lonely Hearts Hotel sucked me right in and only got better and better . . . I began underlining truths I had hungered for."
