New York Times Bestseller
A New York Times Bestseller and a book of “pure joy” (Ann Patchett’s words, not ours). A cruise ship, a nineties boy band, and one woman ready to rediscover herself. Warm, wickedly funny, and deeply felt. Exactly the kind of story you’ll want to press into someone’s hands.

A New York Times Bestseller — and one of those rare novels that makes you want to call your best friend the moment you finish the last page.
Picture this: a cruise ship. Five members of a beloved nineties boy band. Three thousand women who never quite outgrew their teenage obsessions. And Annie — newly divorced, turning fifty, and absolutely certain she doesn’t belong here. Until the music starts.
What follows is a warm, wickedly funny, and surprisingly moving story about rediscovering the parts of yourself you thought you’d left behind. Emma Straub has a gift for writing characters who feel like people you actually know, and American Fantasy is her most joyful, big-hearted work yet.
The praise says it all. Ann Patchett called it a book of “pure joy.” Taylor Jenkins Reid declared it “fun, delicious, and big-hearted.” Rainbow Rowell promised, “You will feel so understood.” That’s a pretty extraordinary endorsement from three writers who know a thing or two about stories that stick with you.
At its core, this is a novel about what we love and how loving it shapes us — about nostalgia, friendship, marriage, and the quiet courage it takes to start over. It’s also genuinely, laugh-out-loud funny in all the right places.
This one belongs on your shelf — and probably in your hands before you even make it to the door.
