The Latecomer by Jean Korelitz
The author of The Plot has gifted us a knotty family epic. The Oppenheimer triplets and their much delayed sister- all from IVF, have a deeply complicated relationship. Excellent characters and a believeable and satisfying ending.

Cult Classic by Sloane Crosley
Angst-y Millenial reviews all of her past choices as she is confronted by former partners and colleagues. This has been well-reviewed but was not my cup of tea as I am a make a decision and move on type of person.
