Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Natalie’s life seems perfect: a charming farmhouse, a handsome cowboy husband, and six adorable kids. With 8 million followers, she’s the envy of many, despite the behind-the-scenes help. But one morning, everything flips. She wakes up in a strange world where her kitchen runs on firewood, her husband is a rugged farmer, and her kids are unkempt. As she navigates this bizarre new reality, a painful injury in the woods forces her to realize—this isn’t her life, and she must find a way to escape!
Last Night in Brooklyn by Xochitl Gonzalez
Against the backdrop of a potentially life-changing presidential election and a looming once-in-a-generation fiscal crisis, Last Night in Brooklyn explores the dark compromise of the American Dream for people of color living, unknowingly, in the twilight of a cultural moment. It is a story about everything money can buy―and the destruction of what it can’t.
Go Gentle by Maria Semple
Booklist Reviewed this as: "Funny, tender, mysterious, clever…Semple entertains in every moment of this smart story of Greek philosophy and Greek statues; desire, happiness, and their opposites; and priceless midlife peace... Readers will have hearts in their eyes to see her first new novel in a decade."
