The Pisces – Melissa Broder

The Pisces is a darkly funny, achingly honest novel about Lucy, a woman adrift in her own life who travels to Venice Beach to house-sit for her sister — and ends up falling in love with a merman. Part surreal romance, part literary fiction, Melissa Broder writes with razor-sharp wit and disarming vulnerability about desire, loneliness, and what it means to truly connect.

Trending among readers who love messy, complicated female protagonists and emotionally raw storytelling. Popular with fans of Luster (Raven Leilani), Conversations with Friends (Sally Rooney), and Exciting Times (Naoise Dolan).
