  It's not a pyramid scheme. It's an opportunity—for revenge. 
  Victoria Sterling is living her dream life in Splendor Springs, where Mormons, mommy bloggers, and MLMs reign supreme. The flawless influencer only needs one more recruit to reach the top of Puremetics, but when she targets Anna Price, she unknowingly threatens her picture-perfect life. 
  That's because a mistyped address sends down-on-her-luck Anna to the wrong house, crashing a meeting of the OWLS—an unlikely group of silver-haired activists. The rebel women convince Anna to enroll in Vicky's downline and help take down Puremetics from the inside. 
  As their worlds collide, the cracks from Vicky's past become too large to ignore. With each shattering revelation, she wonders if she can maintain the shiny facade upholding her business empire or if taking down her corrupt boss is worth risking it all. 
  With plenty of heart and humor, Splendid Little Schemes is a sharp and entertaining tale of ambition, friendship, and redemption.

  A wickedly funny, full-color, illustrated sendup of the trendy lifestyle publication GOOP. 
  What is Glop? 
  Glop is a business and a website. But Glop is also a feeling. It’s about picking the right expensive organic eye cream that will make you fit seamlessly into the top tiers of high society and sits next to Bono at a 42-course seitan tasting dinner held in a sex dungeon deep beneath the North Pole. Glop is about being conscious to the tiny details of our lives—what to eat, where to buy your cashmere yoga pants, which juice cleanse will remove the most mercury toxins from both your body and your cashmere yoga pants. Glop is about you. 
  In this scathingly humorous parody, Gabrielle Moss skewers the vanity, elitism, and silliness of the lifestyle website everyone loves to hate. Here are favorite recipes, detoxes, activities, cleanses, beauty tips, juice cleanses, vacation destinations, and a selection of hand creams that will open your third eye—plus lots of celebrity namedropping and more.  
  Glop includes everything from the silly to sublime—make-at-home stem cell moisturizing repair masques, weekend colonics, restorative yoga poses (for when Sting is mad at you about that thing you did), and even the freshest bones for your bone broth. Here, too, are G’s essential tips on parenthood, relationships, work and finances, entertaining, food (well, maybe not food), spirituality, beauty, fashion, home, gifts, kids, and more. Nothing in Glop is sacred—except for a few Indian cows you can’t afford.

  Boy, is Tom Andrews angry! Here he is, trying to enjoy his fortieth birthday party at his mom’s and dad’s house, and his wife Debbie is being her typical overbearing, domineering, controlling self. Sure, he’s used to her and her bossy ways. But of all days for Debbie to be nagging him and criticizing him! And in front of all their guests, too!
   
  But if he thinks he’s mad, just wait until Debbie goes a bit too far with her nagging. Now, his dad is even angrier at her for not only ruining his son’s birthday but also for causing him a whole lot of frustration over the years by never allowing him to really enjoy himself when they’re having sex. First, she’s too controlling. Second, thanks to her extreme modesty, she never lets him enjoy her body to the extent that he would like.
   
  Yes, Tom’s dad sure is mad. And that’s not a good thing because, first, he has a vicious temper, and, second, as headmaster of a backwoods boarding school, he had a history of getting misbehaving young women over his knee for some good old corporal punishment.
   
  So, to the shock of everyone present, he decides that he’s had just about enough of Debbie’s domineering behavior. Right then and there, he administers a thorough, bare-bottom spanking to her—right out in the middle of the living room and in front of all their guests!
   
  Well, Tom is sure having a happy birthday now! He’s never before had quite as much of an eyeful of his wife's delicious curves—nor has he ever seen how cute she is when she’s controlled, submissive, vulnerable, and dominated. This is just fantastic!
   
  Even better, his dad then orders Debbie and Tom to go upstairs to the guestroom so that, for the first time ever, Tom can be the boss and make his birthday truly spectacular by enjoying his wife in any way he chooses!
   
  How far will he go?
   
  Even better: How far will Debbie go now that he's made an "impression" on her? Click “Buy Now” right now and find out!

  The Means - A Novel

  ""The Means is such a fast-paced, breezy comedic novel that you may find yourself surprised that Fusselman deftly and directly leads you to existential dilemmas and the absurdity of capitalism and striving for more."" – The Millions 
  Shelly Means, a stay-at-home mom and disgraced former PTA president, is poised to get the one thing in life she really wants: a beach house in the Hamptons. Surely, once she has her beach house, Shelly will at last feel at peace, in control, and content. It might be a very small house, and it might be in the least-fancy part of the Hamptons, but Shelly is hell-bent on achieving this idea of paradise.  
  But what should be a simple real estate transaction quickly goes awry as Shelly’s new neighbors disapprove of her proposed shipping container house at the same time that her spouse George’s lucrative work as a VoiceOver artist dries up. When George wants to cancel the beach house, Shelly goes deeper down the rabbit hole of capitalism: it’s an investment property! It's a community! It’s a place for their children to thrive! And, for a woman whose labor has buoyed her family for years, this beach house might just be Shelly’s last stand. 
  The debut novel from “one of our best interrogators of how we live now, and how we should live” (Dave Eggers), The Means is a comedy about the suffering inherent in desire, capitalist delusion, and the value of unpaid labor. 
  ""With its deadpan absurdity, pithy prose and moral je ne sais quoi, Fusselman's latest will appeal to fans of Marcy Dermansky....With its satire of the particular hypocrisy of the Hamptons, including homeowners associations, graft, and garbage and recycling practices, Maria Semple....We may be entering a golden age of the comic novel, surely one of the best possible outcomes of this desperate moment in history."" – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
