Amy’s Staff Pick – Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Amy says, “Yesteryear is one of the most talked about books of 2026 so far, with readers either loving it or hating it. I ended up in the camp of people who liked it, finding it a fascinating exploration of the dark side of social media influencing (as a relatively modern phenomenon), and the wider societal pressures and psychological impacts of performing a life online.”
She added, “The story is a wild and messy ride, with a rage-driven female protagonist (who people love to hate) and many questions to unpack after the final scene. I think this book was perfectly summed up by an online reviewer who said, ‘It’s tradwife culture meets Shutter Island with a dash of Amy from Gone Girl.’”
