Announcing the July 2022 LibraryReads Picks (Feat. Recordings from the Authors)

Like many readers, I look for books that make me feel something. WOMEN by Chloé Caldwell is all feeling. In WOMEN, an unnamed narrator grapples with the heartbreak from her first queer relationship with fervor and vulnerability. It captured my attention with its visceral and punchy prose and held it with its intimate intricacies of queer love and fall out. This small but mighty novella lingered long after I finished it. Caldwell writes without inhibition and that is a gift to all of her readers. My hope is that WOMEN ends up in libraries, that it passes through hands of those who need it. 

—Grace Caternolo, Library Marketing Assistant at HarperCollins

The reissue of WOMEN goes on sale June 4th, 2024.
