Absolutely True Lies

by Rachel Stuhler

A book you’ll want to grab before you head out on vacation this summer, Absolutely True Lies follows fledgling writer Holly Gracin, who’s just inches from giving up on her career. That’s when Holly is hired to ghostwrite a memoir for Daisy Mae Dixson, an 18-year-old pop star. Holly quickly realizes Daisy’s squeaky-clean public image is a total lie, and struggles to write nice (lies) about her. But when Daisy has a public meltdown, and her memoir is the only thing that can save her, Holly is suddenly under a lot more pressure to get it right. But following around a teenage pop star has taken its toll, and Holly has to decide if the fame and fortune is worth the lies.

No One Tells You This

No One Tells You This

by Glynnis MacNicol

Glynnis MacNicol’s memoir isn’t technically available yet, but we’re so excited about this one, we had to talk about it early! The world we live in is changing, and more and more women are choosing “non-traditional” paths. So what happens “if the story doesn’t end with marriage or a child?” This is the question Glynnis asked herself when she turned 40, and her search for the answer fueled a year of self-discovery involving family illness, travel, adventures with men young and old (and sometimes wearing cowboy hats). Pick it up on July 10 to read about one woman’s journey into modern womanhood!

The Royal Runaway

The Royal Runaway

And who could blame her? She recently (and very publicly) got left at the altar. When Isabella gets the chance to be a “normal” woman and meets a sexy Scot named Nick in a local bar, she thinks she might get her whirlwind romance after all. Wrong! Nick is not only the brother of her former fiancé, he’s also a British spy, and very much not above blackmail. Read what happens when they (reluctantly) join forces to find Isabella’s fiancé, and uncover a secret that could destroy the monarchy.
