2 This is How You Lose Her (Penguin)
If you haven’t discovered Junot Díaz, this book is a reminder. His effortless, almost lyrical prose will melt the hearts of even the most hardened of cynics of love and relationships. His writing is bare, brutally honest, and deliciously romantic, all at the same.
