: Joe loved
Temi Oh's near-future novel More Perfect from Simon & Schuster, filled with moral grey areas over new tech & personal freedom, which feeds the drama in a staitsfying manner. Temi is one of the new writing voices to watch out for.

Cyrano the Cat (and Stéphanie) have enjoyed by James Hynes; a poignant historical novel about slavery in the Roman Empire. Harsh but true, and beautifully written!
