Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA Alisha Rai's romance, The Right Swipe, is one of this week's starred fiction titles. "Best-selling author Rai ('Forbidden Hearts' series) taps into the modern dating-app scene with hilarious, horrifying, and relatable results, blending contemporary social issues, such as sexual harassment in the workplace and CTE brain injuries in sports, into the story." Stephen Kinzer's Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control is one of this week's starred nonfiction titles. "Highly recommended. This work sheds light on misdeeds done in the name of American democracy and should have wide appeal among general readers." Bad Weekend, written by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, with illustrations by Phillips, is this week's starred graphic novel. "With this Eisner Award–winning volume, expanding stories first serialized in the 'Criminal' series, the incomparable team of Brubaker and Phillips once again prove themselves among the best creators of crime fiction in any genre.”
