Week of June 4: How Hard Can It Be? by Allison Pearson

In Allison Pearson’s follow-up to bestseller, I Don’t Know How She Does It, the story of Kate Reddy continues now that her children are teens and she’s looking to start up her career once again. Returning to the hedge fund she had originally started before her days of being a mother, she finds that there may not be a place for her within the company anymore but if it gets her away from her husband who’s in the midst of a mid-life crisis and her nightmarish kids, she’s happy. In How Hard Can It Be? Kate finds that life can’t is never easy and that approaching 50 may not be as scary as she had once thought.

Allison Pearson, an award-winning journalist and author, is a staff writer for the London Daily Telegraph. Her first novel, I Don’t Know How She Does It, became an international bestseller and was translated into thirty-two languages. It was a major motion picture, adapted by Aline Brosh McKenna and starred Sarah Jessica Parker. Her most recent novel, I Think I Love You, is set to become a stage musical. She is a patron of Camfed, a charity that supports the education of more than a million African girls (www.camfed.org). She lives in London with her husband, the New Yorker writer Anthony Lane, and their two children.

Hidden by Kelli Clare

Kelli Clare gives her debut thriller, Hidden, a bit of a romantic twist this summer. After Ellie James’s sister and grandmother are murdered, she must face the fact that the new Englishman in her life may be bringing unexpected danger into her world. Picking up and moving her small-town Connecticut life to England, Ellie soon finds herself in London with her niece and the charming man, Will, she has begun falling for. But everything will take a turn for the worse as she starts being recognized by people who think she’s someone else and a secret group of assassins moves in, ready to take out the rest of her family. This new summer read is an enticing story about family secrets, love and what it takes to save the ones you care for.

Kelli Clare is a former human resource executive and contributing writer for a Forbes and TIME recognized website for women. She has been a progressive voice for a global coalition of bloggers focused on issues involving women, children, and world hunger. Critics have called her debut novel elegant, gripping, and provocative.
