Pain Studies by Lisa Olstein

Rivers of thought that meander through a landscape of daily life; her words carve out fissures of understanding and deep, familiar meaning in what it means to have chronic pain — that there is meaning in it. I came away with a sense that even when you feel most alone with relentless physical pain, it helps to know that pain has been around through the centuries, it is a massive, intricate, fascinating and heartbreaking thing, and there are so many who came before you and so many around you now who also struggle in the dark.

A Rogue of One’s Own by Evie Dunmore

A Rogue of One’s Own is a fun, sexy romantic comedy set in Victorian England as suffragettes campaign for women’s rights. It’s got a wonderful enemies-to-lovers dynamic, a hero who seems like a rogue but is really a big old softie on the inside, and a heroine who is fearless in her pursuit of an equitable world for men and women.
