Future Feeling by Joss Lake

Joss Lake’s debut novel is disarmingly fresh and fun, a page-turner that reflects our (slightly augmented) contemporary reality through its characters, vocabulary, and topics, and whose protagonist is both fearless and vulnerable as he explores life. Penfield R. Henderson has plateaued in Bushwick, falling short of fulfilling his potential and plagued by bitterness over the photogenic transition of Aiden, another trans man, on “the Gram.” When he successfully convinces his roommates to help him hex Aiden, he finds he must expand beyond himself to repair the damage, and the rewards of his journey are many. Future Feeling dazzles with an assured, delightful new voice that both entertains and enriches. — Chorel
