The Wife
by Meg Wolitzer

You’ve probably read Meg Wolitzer’s bestselling novel THE INTERESTINGS, but have you read her earlier novel THE WIFE? No? Well, you’re in luck! It’s the utterly compelling story of Joan Castleman, the wife of a preeminent novelist who has spent 40 years subjugating her own literary talents to fan the flames of her husband’s career. But Joan has finally decided to stop. This gripping novel flashes back to follow the course of the marriage that brought the couple to this breaking point.

The Wife
Meg Wolitzer

Imbued with the characteristic wit and intelligence that Meg Wolitzer brought to The Interestings, The Wife raises big questions about voice, marriage, power, and gender in literature. Slim but smart, this provocative story can be read in a day, but it will remain on your mind for much longer. A film adaptation starring Glenn Close and Frances McDormand is in the works and we would watch those two titans of acting in just about anything.

The Lying Game
by Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware is one of our—and your—favorite writers. First we obsessed over IN A DARK, DARK WOOD, and then we couldn’t stop talking about THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10. Now THE LYING GAME has our full attention. Ruth Ware’s latest thriller is an atmospheric, twisty novel about four friends whose past lies come back to haunt them. It will keep you on your toes until the last page.

Where the Line Bleeds
by Jesmyn Ward

Jesmyn Ward won 2017 with her award-winning, bestselling novel SING, UNBURIED, SING. It was all we could talk about over here. But now we’re talking about Ward’s first novel. A timeless Southern fable, WHERE THE LINE BLEEDS is a delicate and closely observed portrait of fraternal love and strife, of the relentless grind of poverty, of the toll of addiction on a family, and of the bonds that can sustain or torment us.

This twisty treat is sure to satisfy all readers. Megan Miranda’s nail-biting follow-up to ALL THE MISSING GIRLS asks the question: How do you uncover the truth when you are busy hiding your own? This novel is the gripping story of a journalist who sets out to find her missing friend, a friend who may never have existed at all. Fighting the doubts of the police and her own sanity, Leah must uncover the truth—and along the way, confront her old demons, find out who she can really trust, and clear her own name.

Who are you when no one is watching? When a beloved high schooler is found murdered, no one in her sleepy Colorado suburb is untouched—not the boy who loved her too much; not the girl who wanted her perfect life; not the officer assigned to investigate her murder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these three indelible characters—Cameron, Jade, and Russ—must each confront their darkest secrets in an effort to find solace, the truth, or both.
