“When Lily Weiss agrees to be a bridesmaid in five weddings over six weeks, she finds herself and her bank account stretched to the breaking point in this hilarious novel filled with bridal meltdowns, handsome and obnoxious groomsmen, meddling mamas, wayyyyy too much Spanx, and one supposed-to-be-anonymous blog that allows Lily to vent. Sara Goodman Confino hits every note just right, with pitch-perfect dialogue and a healthy, fun dose of snark, along with plenty of love and warmth. A laugh-out-loud read.”
“An appealing debut with depth and heart that fans of Jennifer Weiner will enjoy.”
“Whether you’ve been a bridesmaid a dozen times or somehow avoided the whole mess, For the Love of Friends is not to be missed. Funny and touching, Sara Goodman Confino has created a story that’s as wild as a good bachelorette party and as romantic as a first dance. I gobbled it up like wedding cake!”
“For the Love of Friends is a delightful escape from reality—27 Dresses meets Mean Girls. The perfect mix of hilarious, outrageous, and thoughtful, with a deeply relatable heroine. An unputdownable must-read!”
“Amid a flurry of ‘I dos,’ bridesmaid Lily Weiss navigates five weddings in six weeks—her saving grace the Bridesmania blog she writes exposing the high stakes and high costs of wedding culture for those in the throes and woes of love. With Lily’s love life woven throughout, our bighearted heroine’s misguided attempts at bridesmaid wizardry will engage readers invited to attend this rollicking—and at times emotionally bruising—march down multiple aisles. Say yes to this story about self-reflection, forgiveness, and, ultimately, courageous leaps of faith, written with wit and razor-sharp truth. A real gem of a bridesmaid tale!”
“And for She's Up to No Good: “You can almost taste the lobster rolls and smell the warm salt air in Sara Goodman Confino’s latest, which will leave you smiling long after you turn the last page. When Jenna agrees to a road trip with her sassy grandmother, Evelyn, she never could have imagined how her life would change. Confino deftly weaves together two time periods to tell a charming and funny story of true love, second chances, and why we should always be open to new beginnings.”
“A heartfelt and endearing story where generations of women do what women do best—keep one’s feet firmly planted while simultaneously moving forward with love.”
“Brimming with voice and wit, Sara Goodman Confino’s She’s Up to No Good is as heartfelt as it is hilarious. This beautiful story sweeps you up in its magic and doesn’t let go—much like the vivacious main character, Evelyn, a feisty force of nature who teaches her granddaughter what it truly means to live and love without fear. Their adventures—and Evelyn’s tales—will have you laughing, crying, and cheering them on, and you’ll be transported to the setting of the charming seaside town of their family’s roots. This is a gem of a novel and a fantastic follow-up to Confino’s outstanding debut, For the Love of Friends.”

I unequivocally look nothing like Shakira. But late 90s me looked a whole lot like late 90s Shakira… 🤣

Hopping on this trend…
If you’ve noticed I’ve been kind of quiet this summer, the reason is two-fold: 1) YES, I am hard at work on my next book and 2) Off the Record’s sales have been slower than I was hoping for.
I hate pity marketing. I’m not going for that. I still have numbers that a lot of authors would kill for and I know that. And I keep joking that it’s gonna be a grower not a show-er (listen, I’m a romance author. Deal with it). But the reality is that has me totally and completely freaked out and in my head.
So if you haven’t picked up Off the Record (or any of my backlist yet, really), now is the perfect time—you not only get a fun and funny read, you also get to help me feel like I don’t suck. Because that mean voice in my head is telling me that it’s definitely a me problem.
Okay, pity party over. Happy reading!

My little buddy and I are hard at work today.
Rosie always used to sit with me while I wrote. When we lost her, Sandy started taking over.

Okay this is admittedly stupid and vain. BUT, I want that number to read 20k. So, I’m asking you, my friends, fans, and followers to help a girl out and take 30 seconds to follow me on Amazon!
All you have to do is search any of my books, click on my name at the top, and then hit the follow button. It doesn’t allow me to send you anything. I can’t see who you are. All it does it send you an alert when I have a new book out (and makes me feel better about myself, which I could use this week. I’ve got the mean reds right now.).
Thank you!!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
