The Year of Second Chances (2023)Lara Avery"A lively, witty ride with a strong cast of supporting characters. Avery tackles the topic of grief in a way that manages to feel lighthearted and profound at the same time. I flew through this book and loved every page."Wedding of the Season (2023)Lauren Edmondson"Elin Hilderbrand meets Edith Wharton meets Brideshead Revisited in this delightfully juicy tale of a Newport family's fading fortunes on the eve of a society wedding. I loved every minute." Room and Board (2022)Miriam Parker"When one door closes, so they tell us, another one opens--and we're all lucky that the one Miriam Parker throws wide for us in Room and Board is to the prestigious west coast Glen Ellen Academy, where thirty-something former student Gillian takes a job as a dorm mom after a rough patch in New York City sends her packing from her high-profile job. Just scandal-filled enough to be juicy, goodhearted enough to be charming, with a first-rate cast of characters, Room and Board proves that while you may not be able to go home again, you can definitely go back to boarding school--and you might like it even better the second time around." The Wise Women (2022)Gina Sorell"Gina Sorell's The Wise Women is about the exorbitant price of city real estate, yes, but it's also about the high cost of family, love, personal and professional growth--and the rich rewards of all of the above. This tale of the three Wise women making their way in the world is so warm, witty, and, well, wise, that I found myself wanting to pick it back up immediately each time I set it down. I won't forget these ladies and the colorful cast of characters accompanying them on their journeys any time soon." Wish You Were Gone (2022)Kieran Scott"There are shades of Liane Moriarty in this tale of comfortable suburban lives thrown into upheaval by a mysterious death and the intertwining fates of those left behind. With twist after twist I didn’t see coming, Wish You Were Gone engaged me the whole way through and left me breathless at the end, the way the best domestic suspense fiction does." Anywhere for You (2021)The Ends of the Earth
Abbie Greaves"The Silent Treatment is a gorgeous heart-breaker of a novel--an intimate, unpretentious, precisely drawn and surprisingly suspenseful look at a decades-long marriage: how it soars and plummets and, gem-like, alters its appearance under different lights. Abbie Greaves has a bright future and I can't wait to see what it brings." Girls with Bright Futures (2021)Tracy Dobmeier and
Wendy Katzman"The road to college admissions is paved with good intentions-and many bad ones too. GIRLS WITH BRIGHT FUTURES is an audacious, chilling, thrilling look at what happens at an elite private school when the two collide head-on, the casualties multiply, and secrets pop out like beach blankets on a quad." The Second Home (2020)Christina Clancy"Every Wellfleet sand dune, every breeze and beach and pond, came alive for me in this beautiful, heartbreaking debut about a Milwaukee family’s complicated history with their summer home. Christina Clancy’s characters are so real and flawed, so caught between the darkness and the light, that they step right off the page, and you won’t rest until you know what becomes of them." Perfect Happiness (2020)Kristyn Kusek Lewis"Kristyn Kusek Lewis nails this modern family story about a deeply unhappy happiness guru whose Instagram feed is at odds with her inner turmoil. I feel like I made an instant friend in the character of Charlotte McGanley and I cringed right alongside her with every failure, misstep and unnecessary glass of wine The pressures and situations in PERFECT HAPPINESS are thoroughly of this time and place, but the pleasures and satisfaction of watching a family stumble and try to right themselves remain timeless." Best Behavior (2020)Wendy Francis"What could go wrong when you put a blended family up against the perils of a college graduation weekend and mix in twin graduates, divorced parents, opinionated grandparents and a young stepmom out of her depths? Enough to populate a delightful, smartly paced read in which plenty goes right too. Francis writes with grace, depth and humor about complex family dynamics and the joy and heartache of watching young adults spread their wings and fly from the nest." You, Me, and the Sea (2019)Meg Donohue"Every Wild Heart is Meg Donohue’s finest novel to date -- emotionally resonant, absorbing and funny in all the right places, it’s a portrait of mothers and daughters, missteps and triumphs, and love in all of its bewildering and delightful disguises." The Summer List (2018)Amy Mason Doan"There's not a word or plot line out of place in this fabulous debut about two girlhood friends from a small lakeside town who reunite as adults to try to salvage their broken relationship. Dive beneath the surface and you'll find a complex and finely wrought story as full of mystery and vitality as the lake itself. These characters and their stories are going to stick with you for a long, long time." The Life Lucy Knew (2018)Karma Brown"Brown has a knack for...deftly examining the fissures in a family.... I will await [her] next book with admiration and anticipation." Mystic Summer (2016)Hannah McKinnon"Hannah McKinnon masterfully shows that you can go home again it's what you do when you get there that counts." Visitors also looked at these authors
