Colored Television by Danzy Senna

 

Fun.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

 

Liane Moriarty is one of my favorite authors, but I was a bit disappointed by Nine Perfect Strangers. So I was nervous going in to this, and the nods toward pseudo-magical realism were making me nervous. But ohmygosh, she knocked this one out of the park. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.

Guide Me Home by Attica Locke

The Life Impossible by Matt Haig

 

 So disappointing.

The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller

 

 Solid.

The Guilty One by Kiersten Modglin

 

 This one fell flat for me -- probably because I didn't think it's portrayal of characters with particular conditions (sorry to be vague, but trying to avoid spoilers) was within the realm of reason. That said, there was an interesting twist.
