1. A juicy read for the beach

Chick Lit is Not Dead chose Little Island by Katharine Britton as a book they’ll be taking along to the beach, saying, “She had us at ‘family’ and ‘dark secrets.’ A juicy novel!”

2. Publishers Weekly reviews The Necromancer’s House

Publishers Weekly reviewed The Necromancer’s House by Chris Buehlman and praised his book’s “vibrant, bracing atmosphere” by giving it a starred review.

3. A powerful and honest book

Booklist reviewed Jane Porter’s new book The Good Wife and had this to say: “Porter’s latest installment (in the Brennan series) packs a powerful emotional wallop. Readers will find that all their tears are worth it once they reach the conclusion of this insightful, brutally honest tale of a marriage torn apart by guilt and suspicion yet still, possibly, redeemable with forgiveness and love.” 

4. Introspective, hilarious and heartbreaking

Publishers Weekly gave Joshua Safran’s debut memoir, Free Spirit:Growing Up On the Road and Off the Grid, a starred review and said, “This assured debut is reminiscent of David Sedaris’s and Augusten Burroughs’s best work: introspective, hilarious, and heartbreaking.”

5. An excellent book for teens

Simply Stacie reviewed Playing Tyler by T.L. Costa and said, “Playing Tyler is an excellent book for teens (and adults who enjoy YA). The author made me feel connected to the characters and I cared what was going to happen to them. There’s a point in the book where I even shed a tear.”
