I don’t read a lot of short stories, but sometimes they end up surprising me and leaving a mark. These stories are impactful, moving and insightful. Complex and relatable characters, beautifully written, a unique collection of ordinary events told in an extraordinary way.

Thank you Suzy Approved Book Tours for this tour invite.

𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗮𝘆: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 by Sue Mell - Author released September 3, 2024.

Sue Mell weaves a captivating net of characters across three decades. Rachel, Emma, and Nina navigate love, betrayal, and resilience in New York City. Mell’s sharp characterizations and vivid descriptions breathe life into the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan. However, beyond pacing, the stories occasionally leave us yearning for deeper emotional impact, earning this collection 4 stars.

Thanks very much to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC of A New Day by Sue Mell. I love literary fiction about feelings and relationships; I also love interconnected short stories that follow characters over years and through different phases of their lives. This is a kindhearted, satisfying collection that deftly moves backward and forward in time over decades, featuring a group of flawed, yet deeply human characters as their paths cross and diverge. Oh, and did I mention the lovely prose? Highly recommend.
