Each August, the publishing world offers a quiet argument against the assumption that summer reading must be disposable. This year, thirteen novels arrive carrying genuine emotional weight — stories rooted in the lives of animals, the machinery of Hollywood, and the particular gravity of small towns where everyone knows your name and your history. They arrive as an invitation not merely to escape the heat, but to sit within it and find something worth holding onto.
