    You Deserve Each Other



    One of the classic feel-good forms of entertainment is a rom-com. And Sarah Hogle delivers. Naomi’s fiance, Nicholas, is straight out of a movie—opens doors, knows what she likes to order, and has a family she can’t wait to be a part of. There’s just one problem… she can’t stand him. But whoever calls off the wedding has to foot the bill, resulting in a very entertaining game of who can make who more miserable.

This led her to the world of magazine publishing where she quickly made a name for herself, shattering many a ceiling. But beyond her success lies a lot of empathy, wisdom, and compassion, and a heaping dose of advice for those of us who might not feel like we’re ever enough.

    The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Movie Tie-In Edition)



    Sometimes it’s nice to go back in time and visit a place far far away. Picture this: It’s 1946 in London, just after WWII, and after exchanging letters (how quaint!) with a man she’s never met, writer Juliet Ashton thinks she’s found the subject of her next book. She soon heads off to the small island of Guernsey to tell the story of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a group that came about during the war. The longer she’s there, the more she thinks she might have found something bigger than just a story, she might have found the place she was meant to be. You’re sure to fall in love with every one of these characters, and might even find yourself wishing you, too, could escape to this charming little island.
