May fiction collage

May was blooming with fiction titles, with everything from old Hollywood and the impact of books to a death doula and a queer couple’s ten-day getaway.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT KITTY KARR? by Crystal Smith Paul

Reese’s May 2023 Book Club Pick!

“Paul’s debut is a riveting, often heartbreaking tale that explores race, privilege, and celebrity in America through the eyes of a one-of-a-kind character. Readers of Taylor Jenkins Reid and Piper Huguley will be enthralled.”–Booklist, starred review

NO TWO PERSONS by Erica Bauermeister

An Indie Next pick!

“Bauermeister…pens a love letter to novels, imagining the far reach and deep hold of the stories we carry with us… [Her] latest inspiring and introspective novel offers a peek inside the world of publishing, but more importantly, it explores what happens after a long-held dream is achieved.”–Booklist

DYKETTE by Jenny Fran Davis

“This first adult book from the author of the YA novel EVERYTHING MUST GO (2017) unfolds from the perspective of Sasha, who’s working on a doctorate in gender studies and quotes Leslie Feinberg, Chris Kraus, Sarah Schulman, and Vanderpump Rules in equal measure… An engagingly self-aware and entertainingly claustrophobic story of performance and realness.”–Booklist

THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER by Mikki Brammer

“While this heartwarming debut novel deals with death, it never becomes maudlin, instead focusing on what makes a life worth living. Readers who appreciate seeing quirky, isolated characters come into their own, such as in ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE by Gail Honeyman or THE BOOKISH LIFE OF NINA HILL by Abbi Waxman, will find much to love in this moving novel.”–Booklist

CAN’T I GO INSTEAD by Lee Geum-yi

“Compelling and inspiring, this story speaks of resilience and determination to make the best out of the situation one has been dealt.”–Booklist
