Sanibel's new novel is
To Have and Have More.
At Electric Lit the author tagged seven "campus novels that diverge from the standard arc and provide more in the way of professors and politics of academia while remaining in that most beloved of settings: the private school campus." One title on the list:
Come and Get It by Kiley Reid
College campuses are ripe for discussions about class—where else do legacy nepo-babies and first-gen scholarship students cross 
paths constantly? It’s an extreme melting pot that forces awkward questions out into the open at every turn. Reid’s Such a Fun Age probed into class-race-power dynamics of a Black babysitter and white mom. And this follow-up similarly examines grey zones between an RA, a visiting professor/journalist, and a transfer student who fled her previous school. There’s nothing more entertaining than asking young adults what they think is “tacky” and “classy”—and that’s exactly how Come and Get It opens. When you grow up, you learn not to answer the tacky/classy question because it is only ever asked to cast you as a mouthpiece for a certain milieu.
