Upcoming Book Releases in 2024 I Can’t Wait to Read
Funny Story by Emily Henry
- Anticipated 2024 Book Club Pick

It’s no secret I’m an Emily Henry girlie, and Funny Story sounds 👏🏼 so 👏🏼 good. Of all the books coming out in 2024, this one might be my most anticipated. If the emotion is anything like Happy Place, I know I’m going to love it (pssst, here’s my Happy Place book review!).
This is one of my anticipated 2024 book club books. I just think Emily Henry’s books have everything you could ever want in a book club pick: funny, sweet, nostalgia, excellent characters you love and hate, heavier themes mixed with fun banter—there’s something for everyone!
🚨 Reading Tip: If you want to commit to reading new books in 2024 and diversifying your reading list, join or start a book club! I started my virtual book club with Bookclubs—a free web and mobile app that makes running a book club SO EASY. And I never looked back! Check it out here if you want a (free!) game-changer in your reading life.
Here’s the synopsis:
A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.
Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together.
He really was good at telling it . . . right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.
Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.
Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection.
The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan.
If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?
But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex . . . right?
Funny Story will be published on April 23, 2024, from Berkley. Preorder the book below!
The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

I can’t wait for The Familiar! Another Leigh Bardugo book, but this one sounds so different. Historical fantasy in the Spanish Golden Age?! PLEASE.
Here’s the synopsis:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age
In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion.
But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family’s social position.
What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain’s king.
Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England’s heretic queen—and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king’s favor.
Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain.
But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition’s wrath.
She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.
The Familiar was published on April 9, 2024, from Flatiron Books. Preorder the book below!
Women of Good Fortune by Sophie Wan

From what I’ve gathered, Women of Good Fortune is a fun, entertaining, heartwarming story with female empowerment, familial expectations, and FRENEMIES. What more could you want?
Here’s the synopsis:
Set against a high-society Shanghai wedding, a heartfelt, funny, dazzling novel about a reluctant bride and her two best friends, each with their own motives and fed up with the way society treats women, who forge a plan to steal all the gift money on the big day
Lulu has always been taught that money is the ticket to a good life. So, when Shanghai’s most eligible bachelor surprises her with a proposal, the only acceptable answer is yes, even if the voice inside her head is saying no.
His family’s fortune would solve all her parents’ financial woes, but Lulu isn’t in love or ready for marriage.
The only people she can confide in are her two best friends: career-minded Rina, who is tired of being passed over for promotion as her biological clock ticks away; and Jane, a sharp-tongued, luxury-chasing housewife desperate to divorce her husband and trade up.
Each of them desires something different: freedom, time, beauty. None of them can get it without money.
Lulu’s wedding is their golden opportunity. The social event of the season, it means more than enough cash gifts to transform the women’s lives. To steal the money on the big day, all they’ll need is a trustworthy crew and a brilliant plan.
But as the plot grows increasingly complicated and relationships are caught in the cross fire, the women are forced to face that having it all might come at a steep price.
Women of Good Fortune will be published on March 5, 2024, from Graydon House. Preorder the book below!
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan

I LOVED Nora Goes Off Script—it was the perfect adorable romance—so I’m hopeful for Annabel Monaghan’s newest book, Summer Romance. Obviously, this is going to be perfect for that most anticipated books summer 2024 reading list.
I’ve heard that the characters are soo endearing, but that this definitely isn’t a plot-driven novel. That doesn’t bother me at all, but it might not be for some readers!
Here’s the synopsis:
Benefits of a summer romance: it’s always fun, always brief, and no one gets their heart broken.
There aren’t enough labeled glass containers to contain the mess that is Ali Morris’s life. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. She’s a professional organizer whose pantry is a disgrace.
No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him.
Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. The last thing Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there’s no harm in a little Summer Romance. Is there?
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan will be published on June 4, 2024, from G. P. Putnam’s Sons. Preorder the book below!
Just for Summer by Abby Jimenez

I’m pretty sure an Abby Jimenez book is an auto-read for most romance readers! It seems like family dysfunction and social media will play quite a role in Just for the Summer, and I’m excited to see what happens!
Here’s the synopsis:
A sharp and scintillating summer novel that will make readers laugh out loud and cry happy tears from the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.
Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it’s now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up.
When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They’ll date each other and break up.
Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea . . . and it just might work.
Emma hadn’t planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.
It’s supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma’s toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they’re suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected–including catching real feelings for each other.
What if this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?
Just for the Summer will be published on April 2, 2024, from Forever. Preorder the book below!
Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors

Blue Sisters sounds like it just might break me, but the reviews so far are phenomenal, so I really have no choice but to endure the tears, haha! A good sister story is always a favorite of mine.
Here’s the synopsis:
Blue Sisters tells the story of three exceptional—and exceptionally different—sisters as they return to their family home in New York from their respective lives in Paris, London and LA in the wake of the death of their beloved fourth sister.
As they are reunited whilst attempting to cope with this terrible loss, they must navigate addiction, grief and ambition and learn what it takes to fall in love with life again.

Goodbye Birdie Greenwing by Ericka Waller

Okay, we’ve got another tear-jerker on our hands, but Goodbye Birdie Greenwing is going to be worth it, I think. At the time I’m writing this, this book has 5 stars on Goodreads. Unlikely friendships, immersive story . . . sign me up!
Here’s the synopsis:
Great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget. . . . Birdie, Ada and Jane are all lost. Life has not turned out as they planned, and all three of them are scared to ask for help, to say yes—or to say no. To take a chance on someone else.
Birdie Greenwing has been at a loose end ever since her beloved twin sister and husband passed away eight years previously. Too proud and stubborn to admit she is lonely, Birdie’s world has shrunk.
Jane Brown hoped moving to Brighton would be a new start, away from her overbearing mother. While she finds it hard to stand up for herself, her daughter Frankie has no problem telling people what she does and doesn’t want.
Ada Kowalski thought training to become an Oncologist in England would be a dream come true. In reality she is isolated, exhausted, the professional detachment she has had to develop now threatens to take over her life.
When a series of incidents brings their lives crashing together, these three unlikely allies find that there’s always more to a person than meets the eye.
Goodbye Birdie Greenwing celebrates female relationships in all their forms. It explores what being a mother means. It is a story about the choices we make and how we justify them. About finding out who we are, not who other people think we should be.
Goodbye Birdie Greenwing will be published on April 18, 2024, from Transworld Digital. Unfortunately, I can’t find a place to preorder this book at this time.

Here’s the synopsis:
When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious.
The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge mountains.
In the aftermath of her death, that estate—along with a nine-figure fortune and the complicated legacy of being a McTavish—pass to her adopted son, Camden.
But to everyone’s surprise, Cam wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes.
Instead, he rejects his inheritance, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past.
Ten years later, Camden is a McTavish in name only, but a summons in the wake of his uncle’s death brings him and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House.
Its views are just as stunning as ever, its rooms just as elegant, but coming home reminds Cam why he was so quick to leave in the first place.
Jules, however, has other ideas, and the more she learns about Cam’s estranged family—and the twisted secrets they keep—the more determined she is for her husband to claim everything Ruby once intended for him to have.
But Ruby’s plans were always more complicated than they appeared. As Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden, questions about the infamous heiress come to light.
Was there any truth to the persistent rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to those four husbands, who all died under mysterious circumstances?
And why did she adopt Cam in the first place? Soon, Jules and Cam realize that an inheritance can entail far more than what’s written in a will—and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave.
The Heiress will be published on January 9, 2024, from St. Martin’s Press. Preorder the book below!
A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna

A cozy inn run by witches, found family, a curse to break . . . oh. I will be eagerly awaiting the release of A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping!
Here’s the synopsis:
An enchanting novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.
Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild.
Now she (slightly reluctantly and a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guest’s shenanigans, tries to keep the talking fox in check, and longs for the magical future she lost.
When she learns about an old spell book that could hold the secret to restoring her power, she finds herself turning to Luke Larsen, a gorgeous and icy historian who might be the only person who can help her unlock the book’s mysteries.
The fact that he also happens to be her one-night stand from years ago is totally irrelevant.
Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and trying not to fall in love is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone . . . and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.
A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping will be published on April 2, 2024, from Berkley. Preorder the book below!
Only If You’re Lucky by Stacy Willingham

I really enjoyed All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham, and I think If You’re Lucky will be a good thriller, too. Happy to add this one to my suspense reading list for 2024!
Here’s the synopsis:
Lucy Sharpe is larger than life. Magnetic, addictive. Bold and dangerous. Especially for Margot, who meets Lucy at the end of their freshman year at a liberal arts college in South Carolina.
Margot is the shy one, the careful one, always the sidekick and never the center of attention.
But when Lucy singles her out at the end of the year, a year Margot spent studying and playing it safe, and asks her to room together, something in Margot can’t say no—something daring, or starved, or maybe even envious.
And so Margot finds herself living in an off-campus house with three other girls, Lucy, the ringleader; Sloane, the sarcastic one; and Nicole, the nice one, the three of them opposites but also deeply intertwined.
It’s a year that finds Margot finally coming out of the shell she’s been in since the end of high school, when her best friend Eliza died three weeks after graduation.
Margot and Lucy have become the closest of friends, but by the middle of their sophomore year, one of the fraternity boys from the house next door has been brutally murdered . . . and Lucy Sharpe is missing without a trace.
A tantalizing thriller about the nature of friendship and belonging, about loyalty, envy, and betrayal—another gripping novel from an author quickly becoming the gold standard in psychological suspense.
Only If You’re Lucky will be published on January 16, 2024, from Minotaur Books. Preorder the book below!
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren

These authors can write 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 romance 👏🏼 ! I have to say, of all the Christina Lauren books, The Paradise Problem sounds the most interesting to me. I’m really hooked on this premise!
Here’s the synopsis:
Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar), returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.
Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways.
Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor.
He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up.
He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch.
Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years.
Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife.
But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife.
Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren will be published on May 14, 2024, from Gallery Books. Preorder the book below!
Family Family by Laurie Frankel
- Anticipated 2024 Book Club Pick

I’ve already started reading Family, Family (thank you NetGalley and Henry Holt & Company for my advanced reader copy!), and I am loving it so far. Laurie Frankel is so talented at writing complex character dynamics. I think this book will be an amazing book club pick for 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
“Not all stories of adoption are stories of pain and regret. Not even most of them. Why don’t we ever get that movie?”
India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero.
Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though.
She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do—she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie.
Soon she’s at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left.
Her twin ten-year-olds know they need help—and who better to call than family? But that’s where it gets really messy because India’s not just an adoptive mother. . . .
The one thing she knows for sure is what makes a family isn’t blood. And it isn’t love. No matter how they’re formed, the truth about family is this: it’s complicated.
Family Family will be published on January 23, 2024, from Henry Holt & Company. Preorder the book below!
A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams

I really enjoyed Seven Days in June, so I have high hopes for A Love Song for Ricki Wilde. The setting and premise of this book sound amazing!
Here’s the synopsis:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Seven Days in June, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is an epic love story one hundred years in the making. . . .
Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.
Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters.
Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning.
She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop.
And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.
Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
A Love Song for Ricki Wilde will be published on February 6, 2024, from Grand Central Publishing.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe

I’m tucking this one away for a rainy day. Margo’s Got Money Troubles is supposed to be a sweet, funny, heartwarming rom-com in 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world—from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen.
Margo Millet’s got money troubles. As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, she’s always known she’d have to make it on her own.
So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living.
She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while their affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant.
Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.
Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast.
When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare.
Then Margo begins to form a she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling.
Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she’s turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?
Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who’s struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her.
It’s a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles will be published on June 11, 2024, from William Morrow. Preorder the book below!
Somewhere Beyond the Sea (The House in the Cerulean Sea #2) by TJ Klune

I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea so much, so I’m so ready for book #2. I don’t have a lot of anticipated series in 2024, but Somewhere Beyond the Sea is definitely a sequel I can’t wait to read.
Here’s the synopsis:
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the hugely anticipated sequel to TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea, one of the best-loved and best-selling fantasy novels of the past decade. Featuring gorgeous orange sprayed edges!
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.

He’s the master of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.
Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago.
He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth.
And there’s the island’s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.
But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.
And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.
Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden

Haunting historical fiction is my jam, and I think The Warm Hands of Ghosts is going to be chilling, enthralling, and utterly captivating. I can’t wait!
Here’s the synopsis:
During the Great War, a combat nurse searches for her brother, believed dead in the trenches despite eerie signs that suggest otherwise, in this hauntingly beautiful historical novel with a speculative twist from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale
January 1918. Laura Iven was a revered field nurse until she was wounded and discharged from the medical corps, leaving behind a brother still fighting in Flanders. Now home in Halifax, Canada, she receives word of Freddie’s death in combat, along with his personal effects—but something doesn’t make sense.
Determined to uncover the truth, Laura returns to Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital. Soon after arriving, she hears whispers about haunted trenches, and a strange hotelier whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion.
Could Freddie have escaped the battlefield, only to fall prey to something—or someone—else?
November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself trapped in an overturned pillbox with a wounded enemy soldier, a German by the name of Hans Winter.
Against all odds, the two men form an alliance and succeed in clawing their way out. Unable to bear the thought of returning to the killing fields, especially on opposite sides, they take refuge with a mysterious man who seems to have the power to make the hellscape of the trenches disappear.
As shells rain down on Flanders, and ghosts move among those yet living, Laura’s and Freddie’s deepest traumas are reawakened. Now they must decide whether their world is worth salvaging—or better left behind entirely.

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center

After reading Things You Save in a Fire (which I hear isn’t even her best one!), I have decided Katherine Center is pretty much an auto-read for me. *Sigh* but I do need to read her other books . . . anyway. The Rom-Commers looks simply delightful. Definitely among my most anticipated books of 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
She’s rewriting his love story. But can she rewrite her own?
Emma Wheeler desperately longs to be a screenwriter. She’s spent her life studying, obsessing over, and writing romantic comedies—good ones! That win contests!
But she’s also been the sole caretaker for her kind-hearted dad, who needs full-time care. Now, when she gets a chance to re-write a script for famous screenwriter Charlie Yates—The Charlie Yates! Her personal writing god!—it’s a break too big to pass up.
Emma’s younger sister steps in for caretaking duties, and Emma moves to L.A. for six weeks for the writing gig of a lifetime. But what is it they say? Don’t meet your heroes? Charlie Yates doesn’t want to write with anyone—much less “a failed, nobody screenwriter.”
Worse, the romantic comedy he’s written is so terrible it might actually bring on the apocalypse. Plus! He doesn’t even care about the script—it’s just a means to get a different one green-lit. Oh, and he thinks love is an emotional Ponzi scheme.
But Emma’s not going down without a fight. She will stand up for herself, and for rom-coms, and for love itself. She will convince him that love stories matter—even if she has to kiss him senseless to do it.
But . . . what if that kiss is accidentally amazing? What if real life turns out to be so much . . . more real than fiction? What if the love story they’re writing breaks all Emma’s rules—and comes true?
The Rom-Commers will be published on June 11, 2024, from St. Martin’s Press. Preorder the book below!
The Fury by Alex Michaelides

The Fury is a five-act play—apparently with lots of twists and turns, secrets, drama, and obsessions. Who doesn’t love a story where people are stranded on an island when a murder happens? I can’t wait to read this one.
Here’s the synopsis:
A masterfully paced thriller about a reclusive ex–movie star and her famous friends whose spontaneous trip to a private Greek island is upended by a murder —from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient.
This is a tale of murder.
Or maybe that’s not quite true. At its heart, it’s a love story, isn’t it?
Lana Farrar is a reclusive ex–movie star and one of the most famous women in the world.
Every year, she invites her closest friends to escape the English weather and spend Easter on her idyllic private Greek island.
I tell you this because you may think you know this story. You probably read about it at the time—it caused a real stir in the tabloids, if you remember.
It had all the necessary ingredients for a press a celebrity; a private island cut off by the wind…and a murder.
We found ourselves trapped there overnight. Our old friendships concealed hatred and a desire for revenge.
What followed was a game of cat and mouse—a battle of wits, full of twists and turns, building to an unforgettable climax.
The night ended in violence and death, as one of us was found murdered.
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I’m going to tell you a story unlike any you’ve ever heard.

I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like The Queen of Sugar Hill. This is fiction, but it’s based on the life of Hattie McDaniel and her struggle after winning the Academy Award for her portrayal of Mammy in Gone with the Wind.
I don’t know much more about Hattie McDaniel, other than she was the first Black woman to win an Oscar. But I’m eager to learn more!
Here’s the synopsis:
Bestselling author ReShonda Tate presents a fascinating fictional portrait of Hattie McDaniel, one of Hollywood’s most prolific but woefully under-appreciated stars—and the first Black person ever to win an Oscar for her role as Mammy in the critically acclaimed film classic Gone With the Wind.
It was supposed to be the highlight of her career, the pinnacle for which she’d worked all her life.
And as Hattie McDaniel took the stage in 1940 to claim an honor that would make her the first African-American woman to win an Academy Award, she tearfully took her place in history.
Between personal triumphs and tragedies, heartbreaking losses, and severe setbacks, this historic night of winning best supporting actress for her role as the sassy Mammy in the controversial movie Gone With the Wind was going to be life-changing.
Or so she thought. Months after winning the award, not only did the Oscar curse set in where Hattie couldn’t find work, but she found herself thrust in the middle of two worlds—Black and White—and not being welcomed in either.
Whites only saw her as Mammy and Blacks detested the demeaning portrayal. As the NAACP waged an all-out war against Hattie and actors like her, the emotionally conflicted actor found herself struggling daily.
Through it all, Hattie continued her fight to pave a path for other Negro actors, while focusing on war efforts, fighting housing discrimination, and navigating four failed marriages.
Luckily, she had a core group of friends to help her out—from Clark Gable to Louise Beavers to Ruby Berkley Goodwin and Dorothy Dandridge.
The Queen of Sugar Hill brings to life the powerful story of one woman who was driven by many passions—ambition, love, sex, family, friendship, and equality.
In re-creating Hattie’s story, ReShonda Tate delivers an unforgettable novel of resilience, dedication, and determination—about what it takes to achieve your dreams—even when everything—and everyone—is against you.
The Queen of Sugar Hill will be published on January 23, 2024, from William Morrow Paperbacks.
Principles of Emotion by Sara Read

Well, this looks adorable. Apparently if you love Ali Hazelwood, you will love Principles of Emotion. I love a good opposites attract story!
Here’s the synopsis:
A brilliant mind needs a strong heart.
Mathematical genius Dr. Meg Brightwood has just completed her life’s work—a proof of a problem so impenetrable it’s nicknamed the Impossible Theorem.
Reclusive and burdened by anxiety, Meg has long since been dismissed by academia.
Now everyone wants to get their hands on what she alone possesses—especially her own mathematician father.
Having grown up a prodigy in a field plagued by sexism and plagiarism, Meg opts for a public presentation so there will be no doubt of her authorship.
But a panic attack obliterates her plans. In defeat, she goes home and locks away the one and only manuscript of her proof.
Then chance sends her the unlikeliest of Isaac Wells—carpenter, high school dropout, in trouble with the law. And the one love of Meg’s life.
Fifteen years ago, they did little more than hold hands. Now, they find a tenuous space where they can love and be loved for who they are—not who the world expects them to be.
But when Meg goes to retrieve the Impossible Theorem, she finds it missing.
Her fight for the achievement of the century will test the limits of her brilliance and the endurance of two vulnerable hearts.

Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen

Helen Hoang fans, check it out! Second chance romance, star-crossed lovers . . . sign me up! Red String Theory is a wholesome, closed door romance, and I think it sounds adorable.
Here’s the synopsis:
This charming fated-love rom-com about two star-crossed lovers will appeal to readers of Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory, and Sarah Adams.
Just a date . . . or a twist of fate?
When it comes to love and art, Rooney Gao believes in signs. Most of all, she believes in the Chinese legend that everyone is tied to their one true love by the red string of fate.
And that belief has inspired her career as an artist, as well as the large art installations she makes with (obviously) red string.
That is until artist’s block strikes and Rooney begins to question everything. But then fate leads her to the perfect guy . . . Jack Liu is perfect.
He’s absurdly smart, successful, handsome, and after one enchanting New York night—under icy February skies and fueled by fried dumplings—all signs point to destiny.
Only Jack doesn’t believe. And after their magical date, it looks like they might be lost to each other forever . . . until they’re given one more chance to reconnect.
But can Rooney convince a reluctant skeptic to take a leap of fate?

Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina Kumar

Say You’ll Be Mine has the opposites-attract, grumpy-sunshine, and fake-dating tropes, so sign me up. Apparently the romantic comedy, cultural and family dynamics, and charm in this book are everything.
Here’s the synopsis:
In this utterly charming debut romance, a teacher with big dreams joins forces with a no-nonsense engineer to survive an ex’s wedding and escape matchmaking pressure from their Indian families. Their plan? Faking an engagement, of course.
Meghna Raman’s parents wanted her to be an engineer, but instead she’s followed her passion, becoming a theater teacher and aspiring playwright.
But when she discovers that her beloved writing partner, best friend, and secret crush, Seth, is suddenly engaged—and not to her—she realizes he’s about to become the one-that-got-away.
Even worse, he’s asked her to be his best man. And worse than that, she’s agreed.
Determined to try and move on and relieve a bit of the pressure she feels, Meghna agrees to let her parents introduce her to a potential match. Maybe she’ll even find the engineer her family wishes she became. . . .
Grumpy, handsome engineer Karthik Murthy has seen enough of his parents’ marriage to know that it isn’t for him.
He only agreed to his mother’s matchmaking attempts to make her happy, never dreaming he would meet someone as vibrant as Meghna.
Though he can’t offer her a real marriage, a fake engagement could help Meghna soothe the sting of planning Seth’s wedding festivities and Karthik avoid the absurd number of set-ups his mother has planned for the next year.
But as they find common ground, grow protective of one another’s hearts, and learn to fall for the flaws they thought they hated, an undeniable chemistry takes shape.
Soon, Meghna and Karthik’s expectations and insecurities threaten to risk something that’s become a lot more real than they hoped.
Say You’ll Be Mine is a delightful trip back to the heyday of swoony romantic comedies from the nineties, but with a deep and poignant look at the effects of culture and family in our most intimate relationships.
Say You’ll Be Mine will be published January 18, 2024, from Dell. Preorder the book below!
The Takeover by Cara Tanamachi

The Takeover has the enemies to lovers trope, and apparently this one is a page turner with well-crafted characters (even side characters!). Oh, and *squeal* characters in their thirties, which we looooove.
Here’s the synopsis:
Sometimes, when you ask the universe for your soulmate, you wind up with your hate mate instead.
On Nami’s 30th birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now.
Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding.
And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack, and instead of being happy for her, as she knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy.
Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate.
Instead, the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old high school nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian.
More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, is planning a hostile take-over of her start-up. Sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time.
But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize that it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.
The Takeover will be published on January 30, 2024, by St. Martin’s Griffin. Preorder the book below!
Invisible Woman by Katia Lief

Invisible Woman sounds 👏🏼 so 👏🏼 good 👏🏼 . It’s a dark, gritty psychological thriller, and the fact that it’s set against the backdrop of the #MeToo movement has totally intrigued me.
Here’s the synopsis:
In Invisible Woman, a dangerous secret held for too long between estranged best friends rises to the surface, and a long marriage comes apart with devastating consequences.
Joni Ackerman’s decision to raise children, 25 years ago, came with a steep cost. She was then a pioneering filmmaker, one of the few women to break into the all-male Hollywood club of feature film directors.
But she and her husband Paul had always wanted a family, and his ascending career at a premier television network provided a safety net.
Now they’ve recently transplanted to Brooklyn, so that Paul can launch a major East Coast production studio, when a scandal rocks the film industry and forces Joni to revisit a secret from long ago involving her friend Val.
Joni is adamant that the time has come to tell the story, but Val and Paul are reluctant, for different reasons.
As the marriage frays and the friends spar about whether to speak up, Joni’s struggles with isolation in a new city, and old resentments about the sacrifices she made on her family’s behalf start to boil over.
She takes solace, of sorts, in the novels of Patricia Highsmith—particularly the masterpiece Strangers on a Train, with its duplicitous characters and their murderous impulses—until the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred.
Invisible Woman is at once a literary thriller about the lies we tell each other (and ourselves), and a powerful psychological exploration of the complexities of marriage and friendship.
Invisible Woman will be published on January 9, 2024, from Atlantic Monthly Press.
The Magic All Around by Jennifer Moorman

The Magic All Around is a magical book about the power of choice—with family, love, and secrets thrown in. It’s sounding really heavy, but from what I’ve learned, it’s quite heartwarming.
Here’s the synopsis:
Sometimes a family treasure hunt unfurls new paths in life. The Russell family members all seem to have . . . gifts.
Eldest sister Penelope naturally infuses strength or joy or love—whatever the wearer requires—into the fabric of the dresses she designs as a seamstress.
Her younger sister, Lilith, is never without whatever she needs—despite the free-spirited and nomadic life she lives with her daughter.
There’s always a person nearby who just happens to have an apartment available to rent, or a part-time job open, or a car to borrow just when they need it.
And Lilith’s adult daughter, Mattie, always seems to trigger the perfect song to mysteriously start playing—whether from a radio in another room that was turned off or from a friend’s phone in their pocket.
And at the heart of the family is their old Victorian home that sometimes seems to have a personality in and of itself.
When independent, artistic Mattie Russell finds herself back in the family home after her mother’s unexpected death, she has no intention of sticking around the small town, even though she has no future destination in mind.
She’s used to living in a new city every couple of years with Lilith as her sole companion, and she’s especially hesitant to entangle herself in the Russell family secrets about their special giftings.
But during the reading of the will, the family is shocked to learn Lilith included a testamentary trust that requires Mattie to stay in Ivy Ridge long enough to complete a series of seemingly absurd tasks in order to claim her inheritance.
While completing the tasks, Mattie discovers that her mother had a well-thought-out plan for her daughter that would lead Mattie to finding her birth father, teach her how to choose her own path, learn to keep her heart open for love, and discover that staying still long enough to sow seeds can produce a stunning garden and vibrant life.
This enchanting and whimsical tale of mothers and daughters, home, and love will open readers’ eyes to the magic all around them.

Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan

Any time I see Kevin Kwan’s name, it’s a yes from me. I loved Crazy Rich Asians, and I feel like I’ve been trying to find something similar since that series came out.

I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger

I mean, obviously Leif Enger is an auto-author for me. This is definitely one of my top ones on my most anticipated books 2024 list. Peace Like a River is one of my all-time favorite books!
I Cheerfully Refuse sounds heartbreaking, touching, and the fact that it’s technically being billed as a dystopian adds intrigue, since it takes place in the United States in the aftermath of a tumultuous economic and political landscape.
Here’s the synopsis:
A career defining tour-de-force from New York Times bestselling, award-winning and “formidably gifted” (Chicago Tribune) novelist Leif Enger.
A story-teller “of great humanity and huge heart” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), Leif Enger debuted in the literary world with Peace Like a River which sold over a million copies and captured readers’ hearts around the globe.

Rainy, an endearing bear of an Orphean narrator, seeks refuge in the harbors, fogs and remote islands of the inland sea. Encountering lunatic storms and rising corpses from the warming depths, Rainy finds on land an increasingly desperate and illiterate people, a malignant billionaire ruling class, crumbled infrastructure and a lawless society.
Amidst the Gulliver-like challenges of life at sea and no safe landings, Rainy is lifted by physical beauty, surprising humor, generous strangers, and an unexpected companion in a young girl who comes aboard.
And as his innate guileless nature begins to make an inadvertent rebel of him, Rainy’s private quest for the love of his life grows into something wider and wilder, sweeping up friends and foes alike in his strengthening wake.
I Cheerfully Refuse epitomizes the “musical, sometimes magical and deeply satisfying kind of storytelling” (Los Angeles Times) for which Leif Enger is cherished.

Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange
- Anticipated 2024 Book Club Pick

Tommy Orange, author of There There, knows how to write a heart-wrenching and beautiful story, and Wandering Stars sounds like it will be another hit. I can’t wait to read this one. I also think it’s going to make an incredible book club selection for 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
The eagerly awaited follow-up to Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tommy Orange’s breakout bestseller There There—winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, the John Leonard Prize, the American Book Award, and one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2018— Wandering Stars traces the legacies of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School through to the shattering aftermath of Orvil Red Feather’s shooting in There There.
Colorado, 1864. Star, a young survivor of the Sand Creek Massacre, is brought to the Fort Marion Prison Castle, where he is forced to learn English and practice Christianity by Richard Henry Pratt, an evangelical prison guard who will go on to found the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, an institution dedicated to the eradication of Native history, culture, and identity.
A generation later, Star’s son, Charles, is sent to the school, where he is brutalized by the man who was once his father’s jailer. Under Pratt’s harsh treatment, Charles clings to moments he shares with a young fellow student, Opal Viola, as the two envision a future away from the institutional violence that follows their bloodlines.
Oakland, 2018. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield is barely holding her family together after the shooting that nearly took the life of her nephew Orvil. From the moment he awakens in his hospital bed, Orvil begins compulsively googling school shootings on YouTube.
He also becomes emotionally reliant on the prescription medications meant to ease his physical trauma.
His younger brother, Lony, suffering from PTSD, is struggling to make sense of the carnage he witnessed at the shooting by secretly cutting himself and enacting blood rituals that he hopes will connect him to his Cheyenne heritage.
Opal is equally adrift, experimenting with Ceremony and peyote, searching for a way to heal her wounded family.
Extending his constellation of narratives into the past and future, Tommy Orange once again delivers a story that is by turns shattering and wondrous, a book piercing in its poetry, sorrow, and rage—a masterful follow-up to his already-classic first novel, and a devastating indictment of America’s war on its own people.
