Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey


Who doesn’t love a classic Nora Ephron movie? Annie Cassidy, a hopeless romantic who writes screenplays while rewatching Sleepless in Seattle over and over again, is anxiously awaiting her very own Tom Hanks. Sure enough, she meets a handsome actor on a film set — but is he what she’s looking for?

The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger


If you’re a fan of HBO’s Big Little Lies, you won’t be able to resist this “smart and juicy” novel. Set in a Colorado town, The Gifted School explores the complexities of four sets of parents who will stop at nothing to get their children ahead… and exactly what this does to their children.

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones


Lauded by critics and readers alike (and even former president Obama), this kind of novel doesn’t come around often. Celestial and Roy are successful and happy, but their lives are suddenly ripped apart by a wrongful conviction. Is it possible for them to pick the pieces back up?

The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo


There are few family dramas as insightful, sensitive, and daring as this one. Chronicling the lives of four vastly different sisters facing heart-wrenching obstacles, The Most Fun We Ever Had is a story about the quest for love and finding our true selves in the wake of tragedy.
