"Cape May" by Chip Cheek.
"Machines Like Me" by Ian McEwan
“‘Lake Success’ by Gary Shteyngart. Shteyngart weaves together morally-vacant American hedge-fund life, with a road trip, raising a child on the spectrum, the 2016 election cycle, a Long Island town, immigrant dreams that aren't quite realized (and more); in a fast-paced look at contemporary culture set primarily in the New York region.” – Maryann, Canio’s Books
“‘Machines Like Me’ by Ian McEwan. Set in an alternate, retro-futuristic London in the 1980s, the first synthetic humanoids are being delivered to a small group of buyers, including protagonist Charlie. McEwan succeeds with this layered tale examining how ubiquitous artificial intelligence has become, and will increase, in our daily lives. An unsettling, intriguing novel that raises important questions and will stay with you after the last page." – Colin, BookHampton
“‘Cape May’ by Chip Cheek explores the social and sexual mores of 1950s America through the eyes of a newly married couple from the genteel south corrupted by sophisticated New England urbanites. This novel will not only bring you back to the nostalgic summer beach vacations of your youth, but will open your eyes to a side you never saw about the families, marriages and love stories that went on behind the scenes … it's sexy, lusty and filled with sandy beaches we can never get enough of.” – Jane, Bedside Reading
