In a starred ⭐️ review from , is deemed: “Mind-bending...The debt to Shirley Jackson’s 'The Lottery' is obvious, but Battle-Felton is drawing from a deeper well of influences, including Toni Morrison’s lyricism, the time-travel elements of Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred and the alternative universe of Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. . . . Battle-Felton imagines this world exceedingly well. And she never loses sight of the novel’s central theme: how the need for communities to protect themselves unleashes its own anxieties and traumas.”

About the book:

On her wedding day in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1968, Rafaela Acuña y Daubón has mild misgivings, but she marries Peter Brennan Jr. anyway, in a blaze of romantic optimism. She has no way of knowing how dramatically her life will change when she uproots her young family to start over in the American Midwest, unleashing a fleet of disappointments. Against the backdrop of her mother’s isolation in St. Louis, Missouri in the 1980s, Rafaela’s daughter, Ruth Brennan, longs only to belong. Eager to fit in, Ruth lets go of her language, habits, and childhood memories of Puerto Rico. It's not until decades later, when Ruth’s own daughter, Daisy, returns to Puerto Rico that her mother and grandmother begin to truly reflect on the choices that have come to define their lives.

When a hurricane ravages the island in 2023, leaving Daisy critically injured, Rafaela and Ruth return to the city where it all began. As they gather at Daisy’s bedside, they’re confronted by the pasts that brought them to this point. We follow them as they come of age, fall in love, take risks, and contend with all the heartbreaks, triumphs, and reversals of fortune — both good and bad — that make up a meaningful life. As old memories come to light, so do buried secrets, leaving everyone in the family wondering exactly where it is that they belong.

To get in the Halloween spirit, we're highlighting some of our favorite spooky reads! 🎃👻 On today's lineup, we're loving by and by 🔪

calls Real Easy “riveting… Rutkoski draws on her personal experience as a dancer, creating a club scene so visceral you practically inhale the cigar smoke. An adrenaline ride filled with grit and compassion.”

The deems Gauntlett "a master of misdirection, buffeting us around as he swerves around corners and makes sudden U-turns. Is this book more like 'Rebecca' or more like 'Gone Girl'? More important, what’s wrong with Mark? (Is that even the right question to ask?) We won’t know until the truly chilling ending."

🩵 “Greathead’s delicious deadpan delivery, with its understatement and ironic humor, is addicting.”—BookPage

Selling Sexy:
