2015 has already been a great year for books. With so much to celebrate from big-name authors—Judy Blume! Toni Morrison! Nick Hornby!—you’d be forgiven for missing a few of the lower-profile, oddball novels. Yet some of them are just as surprising, engaging, and thought-provoking as the big guys. Here are some of the best.
The Blondes: A Novel

“Emily Schultz is my new hero.” —Stephen King
The Blondes is a hilarious and whip-smart novel where an epidemic of a rabies-like disease is carried only by blonde women, all of whom must go to great lengths to conceal their blondeness.
Emily Schultz’s beautifully realized novel is a mix of satire, thriller, and serious literary work. With biting satiric wit, The Blondes is at once an examination of the complex relationships between women and a merciless but giddily enjoyable portrait of what happens in a world where beauty is—literally—deadly.
