Just Friends With Benefits

Meredith Schorr

Sinossi

The author of The Boyfriend Swap “writes novels that pull you in, with characters you want to hang out with for real” (Eileen Goudge, New York Times–bestselling author).   When a friend urges Stephanie Cohen not to put all her eggs in one bastard, the advice falls on closed ears. As in one hand over each ear while saying la la la I can’t hear you.   You see, Stephanie’s college crush on Craig Hille has been awakened thirteen years later as if soaked in a can of Redbull, and she’s determined not to let the guy who got away once, get away again. Sounds like a plan.   Even though it’s been more than a decade since Stephanie has been in the same room with Craig, she’s convinced their reunion, or rather union, is fated. Everyone else in their close-knit group of college friends is paired up except Stephanie and Craig. Surely, it’s a sign, right?   But if actions speak louder than words, Craig’s mixed signals are screaming contradictions. And Stephanie may need to get her head out of the clouds to see what’s right in front of her . . .   “The perfect vacation read. The dialogue flows like beer at a beach party.” —K. C. Wilder, author of Fifty Ways to Leave Your Husband   “Meredith writes with wit, candor, humor, and vulnerability that illuminates the struggles of dating and relationships.” —Nancy Slotnick, author of Turn Your Cablight On

How the Dead Dream

Lydia Millet

As a wealthy, young real-estate developer in Los Angeles, T. lives an isolated life. He has always kept his distance from people—from his doting mother to his crass fraternity brothers—but remains unaware of his loneliness until one night, while driving to Las Vegas, he hits a coyote on the highway. The experience unnerves him and inspires a transformation that leads him to question his business pursuits for the first time in his life, to take a chance at falling in love, and to begin breaking into zoos across the country, where he finds solace in the presence of animals on the brink of extinction. A beautiful, heart-wrenching tale, How the Dead Dream is also a riveting commentary on individualism and community in the modern social landscape and how the lives of people and animals are deeply entwined. Judged by many—including the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post Book World—to be Lydia Millet's best work to date, it is, as Time Out New York perfectly states, This beautiful writer's most ambitious novel yet, a captivating balancing act between full-bodied satire and bighearted insight.

How to Be Second Best - A...

Jessica Dettmann

A hilarious and heart-warming debut that captures the dramas, delights and delirium of modern parenting. This is Marian Keyes meets Allison Pearson, with a dash of Caitlin Moran. 
Going from one child to two is never all that easy for a family, but when Emma's husband simultaneously fathers a third child three doors up the street, things get very tricky, very fast. 
No longer is it enough for Emma to be the best wife and mother — now she's trying to be the best ex-wife, and the best part-time parent to her ex's love child, and that's before she even thinks about adding a new bloke to the mix. 
Set in an upwardly mobile, ultra-competitive suburb, this is a funny, biting, heartwarming modern comedy that looks at the roles we play, how we compete, and what happens when we dare to strive for second-best.
