How many of you love the talk show The View? Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of “The View” tells the behind-the-scenes story of the talk show like how many co-hosts had a tough time fitting in, suffered humiliations at the table, then pushed themselves away, feeling betrayed―one nearly quitting during a commercial. This is one read you won’t want to put down.

Emily Giffin is one of my favorite authors, and I have loved everything I’ve read of hers. So, I’m definitely grabbing her new novel All We Ever Wanted, which will be released on April 23. This book is the story of how three people are forced together, all questioning their closest relationships, asking themselves who they really are, and searching for the courage to live a life of true meaning.

The High Season is the story of Ruthie, who has her dream house by the sea on Long Island but who must rent it out during the summer months in order to afford it. One renter, who doesn’t have to worry about money, demonstrates an uncanny ability to help herself to Ruthie’s life. Is she just being her fabulous self, or is she out to take what she wants? People says this book is a mesmerizing, head-spinning—and sometimes madcap-hilarious—take of have and have-nots.
