After that she has to step up to support her family as well as trying to balance her relationship between her brother and his wife, who she is in love with as well. 

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong - June 4th
Not only has On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous has received a lot of love so far, it's piqued my interest because of the context behind it. I come from a refugee family, with my dad's family escaping Vietnam during the war. Despite that I haven't read a lot of stories regarding this era and I am really excited to get to this.

June and her fiancé Ollie head to his family lake house 7 years after they visited last time with Ollie's then girlfriend and June's then best friend Leah, who disappeared. I'm sorry what?! Did she steal her best friend's boyfriend, what is going on? Yeah that was legitimately my initial reaction.

The Stationary Shop by Marjan Kamali - June 18th
A romance tale where two people felt destined to be together and reunite 60 years later to answer questions on why it didn't work out between them in the past.

The Art of Breaking Things by Laura Sibson - June 18th
(Trigger warnings for sexual/child assault, trauma and substance abuse)
Sibson takes this YA contemporary novel, The Art of Breaking Things, to explore family responsibilities and relationships and dealing with trauma. I do think this will be super confrontational but know that I'll gain something out of it.

  1. I feel as though I haven't visited in forever Tracey! I'm terrible when it comes to keeping up with what's coming out so these are brilliant! I was just approved for a copy of Storm and Fury on Netgalley so super keen to get to that one shortly. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous sounds like a remarkable read. Have you read Freedom Swimmer? That's incredible as well, Chinese freedom swimmers escaping the Mao dynasty. I like to read about human experiences of diverse cultures and I'll definitely be checking that one out. Thanks for putting it on my radar Tracey!

  2. It might be because I haven't posted consistently in forever! (oops) Oh yay that's so good, I can't wait to hear what you think about it. I haven't heard about Freedom Swimmer but I'll add to my Interest list to keep in mind. Thanks for the recommendation and popping by Kelly :)
