I loved this book because it evoked the New York City I grew up in during the 1980s and 1990s. I was an outer-borough kid, raised in Queens, then Brooklyn.
Gonzalez does a brilliant job capturing the toll that a life dedicated to political radicalism can take on a person’s kids. The sister and brother at the heart of her story experience hurt and make mistakes, but they also have each other to rely on in the most critical ways. I enjoyed that theme.

An Honest Living is another great New York novel that made me nostalgic for the city where I used to live. I loved how Murphy used mystery conventions to upend the genre altogether.
The book might strike some as deeply unsatisfying. Still, I loved how it didn’t satisfy expectations, and (without revealing too much) I loved the story’s message about the meaningfulness — or unmeaningfulness — of life’s tragedies.

I loved Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow first and foremost because it's a profound meditation on creative collaboration and its unblinking emotional exploration of how coauthorship is strengthened and challenged when your collaborator is also your family.
It's also a loving critique of the technology industry and a fascinating examination of how the human urge to tell stories is reinvented through the power of networked computing.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest, examining identity, creativity and our need to connect.
This is not a romance, but it is about love.
