Sara Goodman Confino recommends

The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah (2025)
Jean Meltzer
"Touching, timely, and poignant, The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah will break your heart, then fix it in the most unexpected of ways. This is Jean Meltzer at her finest!"

Lauryn Harper Falls Apart (2025)
Shauna Robinson
"Lauryn Harper Falls Apart may be the title of Shauna Robinson's latest gem, but the reality is that Lauryn Harper puts herself back together. This feel-good tale of escaping corporate greed and finding a home in the very last place one imagines is a love letter to lifelong friendships and a reminder that it's never too late to start again. I dare you to not reach out to your childhood best friend after reading this entertaining and witty novel!"

The Wandering Season (2025)
Aimie K Runyan
"It's a rare book that feeds both your soul and your body, but that's exactly what Aimie K. Runyan's The Wandering Seasonaccomplishes. For anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and wondered where they really came from, this story combines the realities of modern DNA testing with a sprinkle of magical realism to bring the past to life. The Wandering Season is the perfect palate cleanser and an utterly delicious tale of self-discovery."

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (2025)
Jessica Guerrieri
"Every once in a while, a novel comes along that so completely encapsulates a piece of the human experience. Jessica Guerrieri's debut novel, BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA, does exactly that for both motherhood and alcoholism in a breathtaking story about the bonds and trauma of family, the struggle to retain a sense of self while parenting tiny humans, and the difficulties of marrying into a family with different values than the ones you were raised with. With a cast of characters so real that you'll swear you know them, this is the perfect read for fans of Celeste Ng and Liane Moriarty. Mothers of all ages will relate to Leah's desire to remember who she was before having children, as well as her perceived inability to live up to the standards of seemingly Stepford-perfect moms."

Let's Pretend This Will Work (2024)
Maddie Dawson
"Maddie Dawson is the master of lovable messes. But unlike other fictional messes who change the core of who they are to find happiness, Mimi Perkins learns to embrace the magic of her quirky self and find her own path, just as she is. Filled with heart, humor, comfort food, and an adorable supporting cast, Let's Pretend This Will Work is a delight for anyone who has ever been told they needed to be less than exactly who they are."

Happy Medium (2024)
Sarah Adler
"Sarah Adler's sophomore novel, Happy Medium, delivers a funny and flirty tale of redemption, both in this life and the next. Somewhere between the sexy goat farmer, the spiritualist fraud, and the TV-addicted ghost from the roaring twenties, is a warmly addictive story of finding yourself and what you want in the most unexpected of places. Wrap yourself in your favorite sweater and enjoy this gem!"

The Friendship Breakup (2023)
Annie Cathryn
"Every woman has a ghost story - where someone disappears from her life with no explanation. So when Fallon's friends freeze her out, her determination to fix those relationships will both resonate and make you text your bestie to remind her you love her. But what begins as a mission to salvage her friendships turns into a journey of self-acceptance and coming to terms with the fact that some friendships aren't meant to last forever. Perfect to read by the beach or pool with your favorite iced coffee (or in those stolen moments in the carpool line), The Friendship Breakup will have you both laughing and savoring the journey like it was one of Fallon's chocolates. Sharp, witty, and relevant to everyone who has ever outgrown a friend."
