Sarah Pekkanen recommends
Happiness for Beginners (2015)
Katherine Center
"Such a charming, heartfelt novel about a woman who needs to escape from her life in order to rebuild it. I read it all in one delicious gulp."
The Lake Season (2015)
Hannah McKinnon
"Hannah McKinnon's lyrical debut tells the story of a pair of very different sisters, both at a crossroads in life. McKinnon's great strength lies in her ability to reveal the many ways the two women wound - and ultimately heal - each other as only sisters can."
This Was Not the Plan (2016)
Cristina Alger
"A funny, bittersweet, and ultimately uplifting look at parenthood through the eyes of a single father. You won't just root for these characters—you'll fall in love with them."
Close Enough to Touch (2017)
Colleen Oakley
"It's so rare these days to find an utterly original heroine like Jubilee - one who is bravely living an almost unimaginable life. Gripping, raw, and moving, this is one of my favorite novels of the year."
Every Wild Heart (2017)
Meg Donohue
"By turns sweet, funny, and tension-filled, Meg Donohue’s wonderful new novel shows us the power of wild hearts - and the remarkable females who possess them."
Mrs. Saint and the Defectives (2017)
Julie Lawson Timmer
"Another winner from the very talented Timmer-and a sweet, surprising story."
Beautiful Bad (2019)
Annie Ward
"As imaginatively constructed as it is compelling. Filled with unexpected twists, Beautiful Bad is a riveting read."
The Other Mrs (2019)
Mary Kubica
"The Other Mrs. is Mary Kubica's best book yet--which is saying a lot! I tore through the twisty, spine-tinglingly creepy pages."
Summer Darlings (2020)
Brooke Lea Foster
"Beautifully written and richly detailed--it pulled me in from the very first page. Heddy is an unforgettable heroine, and I'll be recommending this book to everyone I know."
Perfectly Famous (2020)
Emily Liebert
"What a fun, engrossing read! Emily Liebert has such a gift for creating relatable characters who find themselves tangled up in something sinister. The ending of this book packs a huge surprise you won't see coming!"
Confessions on the 7:45 (2020)
Lisa Unger
"A chance meeting—or is it?—with a stranger on a train tilts Selena Murphy's tidy world upside-down in this taut, beautifully-written novel. What elevates Lisa Unger's psychological thriller to a new level are her shrewd insights into the dynamics of a seemingly ideal marriage."
