Book Spotlights: The She Reads ‘Books of Spring’ Selections

A few weeks ago, the gals at She Reads announced the three ‘Books of Spring’
selections. I’m sorry for my delay in posting this, life has just gotten in the way, but better late than never, right?

So without further ado…here are the Books of Spring:

Title:No One Knows

Author:J.T. Ellison

Published:March 2016, Gallery Books

In an obsessive mystery as thrilling as The Girl on the Train and The Husband’s Secret, New York Times
bestselling author J.T. Ellison will make you question every twist in
her page-turning novel—and wonder which of her vividly drawn characters
you should trust.

The day Aubrey Hamilton’s husband is declared
dead by the state of Tennessee should bring closure so she can move on
with her life. But Aubrey doesn’t want to move on; she wants Josh back.
It’s been five years since he disappeared, since their blissfully happy
marriage—they were happy, weren’t they?—screeched to a halt and Aubrey
became the prime suspect in his disappearance. Five years of emptiness,
solitude, loneliness, questions. Why didn’t Josh show up at his friend’s
bachelor party? Was he murdered? Did he run away? And now, all this
time later, who is the mysterious yet strangely familiar figure suddenly
haunting her new life?

In No One Knows, the New York Times
bestselling coauthor of the Nicholas Drummond series expertly peels
back the layers of a complex woman who is hiding dark secrets beneath
her unassuming exterior. This masterful thriller for fans of Gillian
Flynn, Liane Moriarty, and Paula Hawkins will pull readers into a
you’ll-never-guess merry-go-round of danger and deception. Round and
round and round it goes, where it stops…no one knows.

Title:All of Us and Everything

Author:Bridget Asher

Published:November 2015, Bantam

For fans of the
quirky, heartfelt fiction of Nick Hornby and Eleanor Brown comes a
smart, wry, and poignant novel about reconciliation between fathers and
daughters, between spouses; the deep ties between sisters; and the kind
of forgiveness that can change a person’s life in unexpected and
extraordinary ways.

The Rockwell women are nothing if
not . . . Well, it’s complicated. When the sisters—Esme, Liv, and
Ru—were young, their eccentric mother, Augusta, silenced all talk of
their absent father with the wild story that he was an international
spy, always away on top-secret missions. But the consequences of such an
unconventional upbringing are neither small nor subtle: Esme is
navigating a failing marriage while trying to keep her precocious
fifteen-year-old daughter from live-tweeting every detail. Liv finds
herself in between relationships and rehabs, and Ru has run away from
enough people and problems to earn her frequent flier miles. So when a
hurricane hits the family home on the Jersey Shore, the Rockwells
reunite to assess the damage—only to discover that the storm has
unearthed a long-buried box. In a candid moment, Augusta reveals a
startling secret that will blow the sisters’ concept of family to
smithereens—and send them on an adventure to reconnect with a lost past .
. . and one another.

Title:Who Do You Love?

Author:Jennifer Weiner

Published:August 2015, Atria Books

Rachel Blum and Andy
Landis are eight years old when they meet late one night in an ER
waiting room. Born with a congenital heart defect, Rachel is a veteran
of hospitals, and she’s intrigued by the boy who shows up all alone with
a broken arm. He tells her his name. She tells him a story. After
Andy’s taken back to the emergency room and Rachel’s sent back to her
bed, they think they’ll never see each other again.

Rachel, the
beloved, popular, and protected daughter of two doting parents, grows up
wanting for nothing in a fancy Florida suburb. Andy grows up poor in
Philadelphia with a single mom and a rare talent that will let him
become one of the best runners of his generation.

Over the course
of three decades, through high school and college, marriages and
divorces, from the pinnacles of victory and the heartbreak of defeat,
Andy and Rachel will find each other again and again, until they are
finally given a chance to decide whether love can surmount difference
and distance and if they’ve been running toward each other all along.

With
honesty, wit, and clear-eyed observations about men and women, love and
fate, and the truth about happy endings, Jennifer Weiner delivers two
of her most memorable characters, and a love story you’ll never forget.
