My Sister, the Serial Killer

My Sister, the Serial Killer

By Oyinkan Braithwaite

"I tore through this book during a three-hour train ride. It’s about two sisters in a familiar dynamic: the younger sister, Ayoola, is the favorite child — much adored, yet totally flighty. The older sister, Korede, is responsible and constantly cleaning up her younger sister’s messes — which happen to be bloody ones because Ayoola keeps murdering her boyfriends! Despite what sounds like dark subject matter, this is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time."

Hamnet

By Maggie O'Farrell

"My book club is reading Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet, which is a fictional portrayal of Shakespeare’s marriage and home life. In it, O’Farrell imagines the fiery interiority of William’s wife, Agnes Hathaway, as well as how the family is rocked when their young son, Hamnet, dies at age 11. It is a novel about grief, yes, but also suggests that one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays grew from the seeds of that sadness."

Stone Fox Bride

Stone Fox Bride

By Molly Rosen Guy

"Like so many other people on my Instagram feed, I am getting married this year! I keep returning again and again to this tome — part coffee table book, part advice manual — to guide my wedding planning. This book is a blend of cool girl storytelling and gorgeous visuals — and it holds up better than any Pinterest board when it comes to inspo.
