We Are Not Like Them

In this collaboration between Summer Reading Guide author Jo Piazza (The Knockoff) and veteran book editor and Cup of Jo columnist Christine Pride, a longtime friendship between a white woman and a Black Journalist is threatened by tragedy. While the inciting incident in this timely read is a police shooting, the real anchor of the story is the strong female friendship between two well-developed characters. Listen to this week's new episode of What Should I Read Next ("Books you can believe in") to hear Jo and Christine talk more about cowriting this book and their own reading lives.
