"Freshwater" ($11)

Akwaeke Emezi's "Freshwater" explores the life of a Nigerian girl named Ada, who is born with "separate selves" within her. This causes strife for her family, and when Ada moves to America for college, these selves begin to manifest in a dangerous, albeit thrilling, realization. The unique narration style complements the book's dark undertones in the talented Emezi's debut novel.
