Bear with Me Now by Katie Shepard
“Shepard’s wonderful debut romance features characters who are so beautifully depicted, they become real… Shepard seamlessly incorporates Teagan’s mental-health struggles and Darcy’s learning differences as they help each other fight their personal demons. This exquisite combination of issues, humor, and hot sex make Shepard a writer to watch.”—Booklist, starred review

Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang
“The novel seamlessly blends sf, literary fiction, suspense, and body horror while also exploring the oppression of the beauty industry and the Chinese immigrant experience in America. The writing is lyrical even when plot events are profoundly tragic, and the protagonist’s journey will captivate readers throughout.”—Booklist, starred review
“Insidious Western standards, fears about bodily autonomy, and queer desire intersect as Huang’s precise and subtle portrayal of the beauty industry builds to an explosive climax. Alternatingly poignant and deeply unsettling, this is an outstanding first outing for an immensely talented author.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
