Thanks for this. So far I have read The Turner House and Fates and Furies and liked both very much. Refund is on my TBR list, maybe I'll start with it right now..

I've only read A Little Life. Although it's very well written and the author is obviously very talented, it is a book I cannot recommend to anyone because I'm afraid they'll hate me for putting through such a harrowing and punishing experience.

I bought a novel and a short story collection, but they're on the back-burner at this moment.
