Heart the Lover by Lily King
This book is all nostalgia and yearning (complimentary).
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
Prescient and heart-breaking, yet hopeful.
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
Emily St. John Mandel is probably my favorite modern author. I could go on and on about the prose in this one!!!!!
Afterparties by Anthony Veasna So
Gorgeous short stories collection.
