Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
Crying in H Mart may be the most brilliant display of Michelle Zauner’s abilities. The Japanese Breakfast singer/songwriter’s elegiac memoir of grief and acceptance in the wake of her mother’s passing hits many a sore spot, sure. But there are also many joyful parts focused on the great catalyst of food—in its ability to bridge psychic and emotional chasms wrought in mourning. It acknowledges how very complicated it is to grieve and celebrates life’s surprises. I love this book for how fearless and vulnerable it is. Thank you, Michelle.

She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen
I read this in one sitting and loved every second. The banter was perfect and hilarious. Their chemistry was so sweet and built so naturally. I had such a good time watching their individual growth and the way they complemented each other. The bits about recovering from a toxic love hit hard in a very cathartic way. I adored the focus on open communication over grand gestures. All in all, a feel good story that will make you laugh out loud and you better respect cheerleaders by the end or did you even really read it?
