HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beaut by @dollyalderton — it’s a break-up novel and I loved every minute. Alderton’s command of her characters is brilliant. It’s sharp, funny, fast-moving, meaningful and poignant. Perfect to brighten your winter

Before you put an end to your summer reading, you should check out this beauty by @caitlinshetterly — I adored it. A gorgeously written and emotionally complex novel about a marriage and a family who leave Manhattan for Maine during the pandemic. Highly recommended!

This book is absolutely phenomenal—and it’s NOT what you think. Yes @alisyncamerota is a CNN news anchor, smart and gregarious. But this tale of her life growing up as a punk rock fan girl in suburban New Jersey with complicated parental figures is UNPUTDOWNABLE.

This one snuck up on me and after 30 pages I was in its thrall. The story of a friendship of two young women in New York City is what I’ll call it, but it’s way more than that. VERY smart, extremely well-written. If you like literary fiction ... then please read GIRLS THEY WRITE SONGS ABOUT

If you have ever lost someone. If you are interested in what it means to be human. If you want 191 pages of the sharpest, most intelligent and compelling prose you’re likely to find this year. READ GRIEF IS FOR PEOPLE. It’s a memoir. It’s a work of transcendent genius.
