This one's going to stick with me for a long time.

Three Days in June by Anne Tyler
Such well-drawn characters for such a short book. Really a little gem.

Rose/House by Arkady Martine
This was solid -- but I kind of feel like a mystery about an AI house has so much potential that it should have been, and could have been, a lot better.

Counting Backwards by Jacqueline Friedland
I was predisposed to like this, but it just didn't work: characters with inexplicable behavior and too much exposition.

Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano
The first book in this series was such a delight; each subsequent book has been just a touch less so. There are still rewarding moments and lots of fun, but the arc is worrying.
