I absolutely loved this marvelously entertaining spy thriller and it's terrific heroine (you will, too!).

BEWARE THE WOMAN is a razor sharp and eerily timely thriller. It pulses with atmospheric dread. The @latimes called it "GET OUT for the post-Roe era." THE CELEBRANTS is funny and warm and tender and big-hearted. It gives major Big Chill vibes... I absolutely loved them both!

FRIENDS. I *loved* this book. I couldn't put it down. A spectacularly thoughtful, honest, funny, occasionally heartbreaking meditation on middle age, marriage, and motherhood, LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE spoke to me on so many levels.

settling in for the summer and looking forward to dipping into the latest from @mrscaitlinmacy 💙 I think she is one of the best novelists around. If you haven't yet read her previous novel, MRS., I highly recommend it

One of the very best books I've read in ages comes out today. All of @chris.pavone thrillers are stylish, smart and eminently readable, but TWO NIGHTS IN LISBON is an absolute tour de force.

OUR MISSING HEARTS is masterful. Beautifully written and profoundly impactful, set in a world rife with economic turmoil, violence and fear that feels far too familiar, this is the novel of and about our time. An absolute must-read.

There are books and then there are BOOKS. I love this one with my whole heart. Zevin's exploration of the relationship between Sadie and Sam - friends and creative collaborators since childhood - felt beautifully articulated and genuine. Everyone should read this novel.

I love PINEAPPLE STREET with my whole heart. It's a hilarious, cutting and ultimately heartwarming portrait of a privileged, dysfunctional and strangely delightful family in Brooklyn Heights.
