| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Lori Handeland's Just Once is this week's starred fiction title. "Handeland (The Farmer’s Wife) has created an emotionally complex story about grief that alternates between the present day and decades-long flashbacks. Each character is portrayed as sympathetic, making for a much more satisfying read than the typical cookie-cutter love triangle." In nonfiction, Tim Newby's Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival! "expertly and lovingly details the 30-year history of the group, which mixes bluegrass and rock with traces of Cajun, country, and jazz in a jubilant Americana gumbo.... This affectionate work will be manna for jam band fans and interest general readers." Bridgit Connell's Brother Nash is this week's starred graphic novel. "Excellent for readers seeking a fresh, modern take on supernatural fantasy. Recommended for older teens and adults owing to mature language." And Appetites & Vices, by Felicia Grossman, is this week's starred e-original. "Debut author Grossman doesn’t shy away from tough topics—detailing anti-Semitic prejudices of Early American high society as well as drug addiction without overshadowing the romance and humor at the center of the relationship between [protagonists] Ursula and Jay; their chemistry is undeniable."
