The Sign for Home by Blair Fell
I loved this book. The Sign for Home follows Arlo Dilly, a 23 year old DeafBlind Jehovah’s Witness living under the strict control of his uncle. After discovering his long lost love may not be so out of reach, Arlo sets off with the help of his friends to discover the truth of his past and find happiness. It was eye-opening seeing the world from Arlo’s point of view. The first chapter is called “Sniff” and we’re immediately drawn into Arlo’s experience of the world around him. At the start of the story, Arlo lives a very limited, isolating existence. I was surprised to discover how many choices, both large…

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout
This is one of the best examples of a slow burn/forbidden romance that I’ve read in a while. The relationship isn’t exactly what I would call healthy, but the characters aren’t meant to be perfect and if you’re okay with that you’ll enjoy it. Majority of this first book is focused almost entirely on the romance so the plotline develops very slowly.

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
“There could only be a few winners and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones.” Pachinko is a historical fiction novel taking place in Korea and Japan during the years of Japanese colonialism in Korea (and the years beyond). The story follows Sunja, a young Korean woman who accepts an offer of marriage from a kind minister after falling pregnant and discovering her lover is already married. The newlyweds immigrate to Japan and what follows is a dramatic, heartfelt saga of a family enduring prejudice and surviving in a land where they are not welcomed. I loved…
