A revisit to the magic of Egan’s Pulitzer Prize Winning A Visit from the Good Squad, Candy House offers a timely exploration of how social media alters our lives.

An insightful, absorbing snapshot into a lonely life in a dead-end town in Northern Ireland. The author’s dark humor betrays, if not a love of life, at least an endorsement of making the most of it.

An ambitious, character-driven book that spans decades from the 1940s to the 90s and grapples with race and the transgender experience.

This book is incredibly easy to digest and will induce the desired sugar high. I only felt slightly nauseous after gobbling it down.

A fantasy story about the life we would choose if we had infinite alternatives. Though it glosses over the grotesqueness of its subject matter (the main character's depression and attempted suicide), it explores philosophical concepts and offers meaningful food for thought.

Page-turner! What it lacks in substance it makes up in entertainment value.

A relatable Millennial voice that hits close to home for anyone who regrets being a difficult teenager (…me). Well-written, moving, and poignant.
