Love and Ruin Paula McLain, Ballantine, $17 The Great Believers kept me up reading late into the night, and I d wake up thinking about Makkai s vibrant, complex, and deeply human characters. This is an immersive, heartbreaking novel I loved it. Maggie Shipstead, author of Astonish Me A Key to Treehouse Living is revelatory, a literary lighthouse that forges new routes of understanding. Every life is uncharted terrain, but Elliot Reed gives us a roadmap so that we might understand in more clearer terms how to transverse our terrifying, wonderful world. Rachel Kaplan, Avid Bookshop
