Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Sanaë Lemoine's debut novel, The Margot Affair, is one of this week's starred fiction selections. "This thoughtful and beautifully written first novel perfectly portrays the inner life of a teen as she navigates the path to adulthood. It’s hard to put down and highly recommended for readers who love coming-of-age stories." Two Rogues Make a Right, the conclusion to Cat Sebastian's "Seducing the Sedgwicks" trilogy, is one of this week's starred romance titles. "With this life-affirming final act...Sebastian delivers a fiercely joyous tale of two people fighting to give each other a home and learning to love well." Elin Hilderbrand's 28 Summers is another starred romance. "Because Jake and Mallory meet only one weekend a year, their relationship is rendered, a perpetual holiday. Less a story about a secretive affair and more a tale of sweet nostalgia and fate, this title will be popular with a wide audience." Rift Zone, by Tess Taylor, is one of this week's starred poetry selections. "In her third volume of poems, following Work & Days, NPR online poetry reviewer Taylor examines what it means to live close to the edge, both symbolically and in the real world.... An important book to consider and savor." And Peggy Lee: A Century of Song, by Tish Oney, is this week's starred performing arts selection. "Those seeking the skinny on personal information, such as Lee’s four marriages and subsequent divorces, should look elsewhere, but those wanting to geek out on the subtleties of Lee’s jazz slides, phrasing, and vocal interpretive prowess will be richly rewarded."
