Judy Blume recommends
The Wife App (2023)
Carolyn Mackler
"Who wouldn't want a wife? I'm not talking about sex here. Carolyn Mackler's delightful new novel is sexy but it's not about sex. Think of all the other services wives perform without getting paid and you'll get some of what this Wife App is all about. The Wife App is fresh, funny, empowering, and totally satisfying."
Landslide (2021)
Susan Conley
"I loved Landslide. Susan Conley is such a spare, eloquent writer. Her characters are richly but economically drawn, in this case Jill's two teenaged sons called ‘the wolves,' and at the heart of the story is a marriage that may or may not come apart. You are right there with them in a fishing village in Maine, feeling the wind, the sea, the danger, just as you feel Jill's worries, frustrations, her longings, her love for her family. Smart, honest, and funny, this is a story you won't forget."
Jane's House (1982)
Robert Kimmel Smith
"The most moving, beautiful, realistic book about loving, losing, picking up the pieces and getting on with life that I have read in a long time, maybe ever."
