Thank you so much for this excellent list!! I love how you make your groupings, too. I've read a bunch of these already and can absolutely co-sign your recommendations.

A couple contributions I've recently read and would love to offer up—

–> for "Moody, Broody Summer": _Grief is for People_ by Sloane Crosley

—> for "Searing Social Commentary": _Piglet_ by Lottie Hazell
