Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

In Leahs Wake

Wow, this book was amazing! A complex story with complex characters. I'm not a parent, my teen years far behind me but this story pulled me in completely. There were times when it reminded me of Go Ask Alice which I read in the 70's when the story was told from Leah's perspective. In Leah's Wake explores teen/parent issues in the current, tumultuous world. Drugs, alcohol, it also explores the impact of issues like the economy, education, pressure of athletics. So many things. At one point, I felt like it was almost too intense...partly because I'm not a parent, I guess, and not used to dealing with all these issues. As I was reading this ebook, I had to keep reminding myself that it was Terri's first book. It's fiction but I can imagine similar scenarios taking place in many households across the country. I would go so far as to suggest this is a must read for parents of teens.

The Girls Club

This debut novel is very well written. The lives of the characters are as complex as real life. Their lives are not easy, no pretty wrapping paper and bow. I loved it. Cora Rose has so much internal conflict and it's just complicated by the conflict of the people around her. The story stays with you long after you close the book.
