We have a whole new crop of excellent reading suggestions for your weekend and beyond! In Cleyvis Natera's "propulsively paced" novel The Grand Paloma Resort, two sisters employed at an exclusive luxury hotel in the Dominican Republic face off with entitled tourists, criminal charges, and a category-five hurricane. And in The Sunflower Boys, Sam Wachman's "beautiful, heartbreaking debut," two brothers in Ukraine trek through boyhood hopes and fears, as well as the treacherous landscape of a military invasion, to reunite with the people they love most. Meanwhile, younger readers can swear in for the "deliciously fun historical" courtroom drama of Lindsay H. Metcalf's Tomatoes on Trial, illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham.
