Megan | 467 comments Title: Hell of a Book
Author: Jason Mott
Would you recommend this book? This was a "Read with Jenna" pick (though I did not know that at the time I picked it up). I would definitely recommend it! It was so unique and was a wild, thought-provoking ride from start to finish. So good!

Celeste Ng
I would recommend it if you like politics/ current events. They're packed into this book. I loved it. I enjoyed the characters, but months after reading this book, it's the politics and the messaging of the book I remember.

Lilith (lilithp) | 1041 comments Title: Penance
Author: Kanae Minato
Would you recommend this book? Absolutely. I'd recommend anything and everything by Kanae Minato. The holiday at the heart of the book, which is celebrated in the book, and upon which the tale draws its strength is Obun, the Japanese holiday for reverence for the dead.

Would you recommend this book? Yes, it's a light-hearted glimpse into the life of a woman many of us love.
