the indie NEXT listSomeone Else’s Love StoryA Novel, by Joshilyn Jackson(William Morrow, 9780062105653, $26.99)“Jackson is a phenomenal novelist whose feisty, unforgettable characters wrestle their way through complicated lives with grit and good humor while taking readers on a wild, nail-biting, and thoroughly enjoyable ride. With rich dialogue, vivid scene-setting, edge-of-your-seat plotting, and one-of-a-kind characters, Jackson’s novels entertain thoroughly and

stay on your mind long after you have turned the last page. In Someone Else’s Love Story, a chance encounter during a convenience store robbery shakes up a number of lives. Assumptions about relationships—with family, friends, lovers, and perceived enemies—are shattered, and something new and surprising emerges. I loved this book!”
