Sara Shepard recommends

Everyone is Lying to You (2025)
Jo Piazza
"Maybe you think the Tradwives trend is bizarre, maybe you think it's aspirational, or maybe you think it's something in between - well, Everyone Is Lying To You proves that it's all true...and a lie. One part cautionary tale, one part thrill ride, Jo Piazza has pulled back the curtain on tradwife influencers and their confounding wealth, unscrupulous behavior, curious mothering practices, and asks the question: is this entrepreneurship, or is it coercion? The book is a great conversation starter for what's happening in our culture at this very moment - and it's a fun, twisty mystery, too! I was obsessed with this strange world from start to finish."

A Girl Like Us (2025)
Anna Sophia McLoughlin
"A glittering mix of Knives Out, Girl, Interrupted, and reality TV in the early aughts, A Girl Like Us is filled with secrets, intrigue, backstabbing characters, and a scrappy heroine you can't help but root for. Delicious!"

The Headmaster's List (2023)
Melissa De La Cruz
"Melissa de la Cruz will keep you guessing - all the way up to the last page even when you think you've figured it out! Everything you want in a thriller - a complicated heroine, snarky outsiders, cute boys, and a surprising and insightful story about status, race, class and tragedy in Los Angeles."
