Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA S.K. Perry's Let Me Be Like Water is this week's starred fiction selection. "Written as a long goodbye love letter by Holly to her beloved Sam, Perry’s sure-handed debut is an extraordinary atlas of heartbreak, hopelessness, and the herculean strength required to power through despair to survival into recovery. Hard to put down; impossible to forget." Donald Hall's A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety is one of three starred nonfiction selections this week. "The literary insights will be useful to scholars, but the beautiful recollections and the joyful and vital vision Hall offers are gifts to us all. Highly recommended." About Betty's Boob, by Vero Cazot with illustrations by Julie Rocheleau and Deron Bennett, is this week's starred graphic novel. "Winsome, erotic, and hilarious, Betty’s adventures break the mold for cancer stories in pulling art and beauty out of tragedy. Women college age and up will adore it, and many fem-friendly male readers will also. Note nudity and occasional sexual episodes, always plot anchored and nicely done." And in Free Fall, the e-original by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner, "high drama, both orbital and domestic, is leavened by discreet eroticism to make this a simmering and satisfying summer read. The combination of space-based suspense, the historical 1965 setting, and dynamic characters make this highly recommended."
