Jen Lancaster recommends

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!"

Cicada Summer (2017)
Maureen Leurck
"A captivating novel about the power of redemption."

After I Do (2014)
Taylor Jenkins Reid
"Taylor Jenkins Reid offers an entirely fresh and new perspective on what can happen after the "happily ever after." With characters who feel like friends and a narrative that hooked me from the first page, After I Do takes an elegant and incisively emotional look at the endings and beginnings of love. Put this book at the top of your must read list!"

Your Perfect Life (2014)
Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke
"Has all of the ingredients that I love in a book...a delicious page-turner."

Off the Menu (2012)
Stacey Ballis
"An irresistibly delicious five-course read!"
