I love Ayo - this was a faultless list! I think she'd like 'Open Water' by Caleb Azumah Nelson (bc I think she'd love the love) OR 'Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead' by Olga Tokarczuk bc I think she'd love the protagonist's sarcasm and all round idgaf vibe. Gotta love the Irish! Thanks for making us all aware you discovered her first x

Completely agree. Ayo would make the very best Edie! What a fantastic list, by the way.
