2026 book 63

 Emma Straub’s American Fantasy

Straub’s latest involves a BOY BAND CRUISE and is very fun! There are three POV characters—a woman who runs the events/manages the talent, whose girlfriend has just left her; one of the boy band-ers, who doesn’t want to be there but his older brother is also in the band and it’s complicated; and a recently divorced woman who was supposed to do the cruise with her superfan sister, but her sister broke her leg, and she’s just like ok well, let’s see what happens! I actually thought the boy bad dude was the best-developed character but all had their moments! Very entertaining book but I still would not go on a cruise no matter how much I liked a band, lol. Honestly, this wasn’t my favorite of Straub’s, but it’s still an Emma Straub book and worth your time. Perfect spring/summer book. A/A-.
