| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Katherena Vermette's debut novel, The Break, is one of three starred fiction titles this week. "In language that’s quick and bruising, sharp-edged and relentless, Vermette limns one family and one community to show us something bigger." In nonfiction, Bernice Yeung's In a Day’s Work: The Fight To End Sexual Violence Against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers "reminds us how pervasive sexualized violence is in low-wage work and how urgent the need for both regulatory and cultural change." Pénélope Bagieu's Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World, is one of three starred graphic novels this week. "At first glance, Brazen feels like yet another collection of biographies of extraordinary and underappreciated women, but Bagieu has created something remarkable. A fresh and joyous look at women’s history that is sure to delight even the most jaded readers." And Jane Porter's Take a Chance on Me, the third book in the "Love on Chance Avenue" series, is this week's starred e-original. Porter "does an excellent job of making Marietta [MT] itself a strong character, while adding humor, charm, and swoons to great effect. Mandy and Ty are engaging romantic foils, with Bette’s meddling sweetness always there to stir the pot."
