There are four books that are trending among those who love reading.

Be sure to get your hands on one of these.

All the right places by Jennifer Niven is a heartrending story about two troubled high school students who literally talk each other down from a ledge. Violet and Finch shouldn’t even be friends — Violet the popular girl still reeling from her sister’s death, Finch the misunderstood but well-meaning outcast — but together they become more than that after a school assignment sends them chasing after all of the awe-inspiring things around them. It’s touching, vibrant, and an impressively honest depiction of depression. — Arianna Rebolini

A man of good hope by Jonny Steinberg (and he’s a South African!) tells the story of Asad Abdullahi, who at the age of 8 is caught up in the diaspora caused by civil strife in Somalia, and comes to survive in many different locations all over the continent. A tale of luck, hustle, survival, and determination, A Man of Good Hope is an extraordinary examination of what it means to be human. – Isaac Fitzgerald

Preparation for the next life by Atticus Lish is a powerful love story, both tender and brutal, about a troubled Iraq War veteran and a Chinese Muslim immigrant who meet in New York. Atticus Lish writes with beauty, striking attention to detail, and painful honesty about life on the margins of America — about the people we don’t see, the places we don’t go. —I.F.

Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix is a gruesome horror story and a parody of consumerism, all in one. Horrorstör is clearly inspired by Ikea, from its story (about a young woman who reluctantly works overnight at the local big-box furniture warehouse to investigate strange occurrences with her colleagues) to the physical book itself (glossy, oversized, illustrated, and easily confused with an Ikea catalog), but it’s unlike anything else I’ve read in a long, long time. —A.R.
