by Ann Patchett
Ann Patchett's The Dutch House follows Danny and Maeve Conroy across five decades after their stepmother locks them out of the glass-fronted Philadelphia mansion their father bought furnished.

by TJ Klune
TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea sends a rule-following government caseworker to an island orphanage housing six magical children, one of them the son of the Devil, and turns the inspection into a long argument for hope. A contemporary fantasy about found family, second chances, and how much of a life a person can hand over to a job.

Michiko Aoyama's What You Are Looking For Is in the Library sends five stalled Tokyo residents to the same neighborhood librarian, who hands each of them a book list, a small felted charm, and permission to want something different. Japanese healing fiction at its warmest, and it reads in an afternoon.

by Liz Tomforde
Liz Tomforde's Mile High opens the Windy City series with a hockey romance built on a satisfying power flip: a flight attendant who works for the team, and the arrogant star who keeps hitting the call button just to get a rise out of her. It's enemies-to-lovers with a real heart under the banter.

by N. K. Jemisin
N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became builds an urban fantasy on a wild premise: when a city grows big and complex enough, it gets born as a living thing with human avatars to defend it. New York gets six of them, one per borough, and something ancient and hostile is bent on stopping that birth.

by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Toshikazu Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold imagines a Tokyo café where you can travel back in time, but only until your coffee cools. It's a quiet, sentimental novel of regret and second chances, built around four customers who can't change the past but might just change how they carry it.
