Being able to escape into another world is one of the best parts about reading fiction. Book lovers, myself included, can attest to that surreal feeling of being sucked into a character's thoughts, feelings, and understanding of the world they're inhabiting. As we embark on a sure-to-be-rocky 2018 (seeing as Donald Trump will still be president), fiction is needed now more than ever.
In that spirit, Bitch has compiled 25 forthcoming novels that are sure to make an impact in the next 12 months. Some delve in the realm of the supernatural while others explore an earthquake-ravaged Haiti, a marriage doomed by wrongful incarceration, and an intergenerational love story that begins on a plantation, but each books offers an opportunity to take your mind elsewhere.
These are our Bitch Approved fiction releases for 2018.
