Jen Lancaster recommends

Family and Other Calamities (2025)
Leslie Gray Streeter
"Family & Other Calamities is vintage Leslie Gray Streeter: hilariously funny, and with a powerful emotional punch. It's a deep study in the gifts we get from the people we love the most, even when we don't always like them."

Confessions of the Other Sister (2022)
Beth Harbison
"Both hilarious and deeply moving, Confessions of the Other Sister had everything I want in a book; a fast moving plot, some sunny armchair travel, and a ride on an emotional roller coaster. This might be Beth's best book yet!"

Matchmaking for Beginners (2018)
Maddie Dawson
"‘Matchmaking for Beginners is a flat-out delight! Maddie Dawson is a master at creating compulsively readable stories, full of heart and wit, and the kind of characters we wish were real. (Everyone should be blessed with a great-aunt Blix!) I loved every moment of this quirky, charming, feel-good novel!"
