It's a HUGE New Book Tuesday 📚Some highlights are:
* Kitten by Stacey Yu - a debut novel about an adrift young woman whose growing fascination with her boyfriend’s cat ushers her into the possibilities of her own life, but not without first threatening to unravel it.

* The Wild Beneath by Kelly Anderson - a debut novel of one woman caught between her first love and a mysterious stranger who upends everything - and the two worlds that won't let her go.

* The Amateur by Chris Bohjalian - When a young woman, a golf prodigy, accidentally kills a caddy with a stray ball at the country club, the investigation of this freak accident reveals a dark and shocking tale of secret affairs, predatory men, and a teenager on trial.
