Books by Sara Goodman Confino
“Buckle up: Off the Record is hot off the press, packed with romance, intrigue, and suspense—and is Confino’s best yet.”
“A sharp, spirited, entertaining tribute to investigative journalism—and the women who refused to stay on the sidelines. Confino captures the thrill of chasing a story in this girl-power page-turner.”
“One of the joys of reading is starting a book and being hooked from the first page. With Off the Record, Sara Goodman Confino accomplishes that and more…This combination of spy thriller, historical fiction, rom-com, and family drama is extremely fun to read. If you are looking for a clever, humorous, and engaging summer read, look no further.”
“An appealing debut with depth and heart that fans of Jennifer Weiner will enjoy.”
“Confino weaves humor into her novel that will delight readers. This is a historical tale that speaks to the choices women were starting to make on the road to greater independence.”
Review Text“Perfect for readers who appreciate well-developed characters and are looking for a humorous story about complex family dynamics.”

Listen it’s been a week over here. Like… seriously. And I have work to do. But you know what? It’s gonna wait because I need some me time after the last few days, and I’m loving my friend @lesliegraystreeter’s new release Beignets and Big Feelings SO FREAKING MUCH that I’m gonna actually lay on the sofa and read today.
If you love my books, you also love this book. It came out Tuesday, so go grab it! (Also I’m switching between the audio and my Kindle and I honestly can’t decide whether I prefer the narration or reading it. They’re both so good!)

Proving once again, that I have the very best fans! Thank you @saragracedesigner!
And I see all of you pausing this to try to read the screen! 😏

Okay, I still haven’t come down to earth from People Magazine revealing my cover (I may never fully come down from that!), BUT I wanted to give you a normal image of the It’s a Shore Thing cover as well.
I am so, so in love with this book. It’s a contemporary second-chance, childhood friends to enemies to lovers book with so much humor, heart and—it’s me, so of course a sassy grandmother! It’s also my first literary return to the Jersey Shore since Don’t Forget to Write. The town officially ISN’T Avalon, but… you’ll catch a lot of fun nods to Seven Mile Island. IYKYK.
And for my OG fans, it’s in Jersey, so you know I’ve got plenty of Bruce in there for you.
I can’t wait for you to fall in love with this book on May 11. Make sure you preorder your copy before that! (And if you order from my indie, @parkbooksmd, your copy will be signed! Put any personalization you want in the comments and make an account for shipping options!)
I’ll see you down the shore—‘cause down the shore, everything’s all right…

Okay, this is the most insane thing in the world. It’s a Shore Thing got a People Magazine exclusive cover reveal. Like… this was the first non-teen magazine I ever begged for a subscription for (and is the reason I got in trouble when my brother bleached his hair at 15, but that’s a story for another day) and now a book that I wrote is IN IT.
HOW IS THIS REAL LIFE?
I’m linking to it in my stories. I may get cards printed with QR codes to hand out to random strangers so they can read it. That’s not too extra is it?
Also, HOW FREAKING GORGEOUS IS THIS COVER? I am obsessed with it. I already had a phone case made with it (well, two because if I don’t order my mom one, she will steal mine off my phone. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT.)
It’s a Shore Thing releases May 11, 2027 and I can’t wait for you all to fall as in love with this story as I am.
And as always, preorder your signed and personalized copies from @parkbooksmd (make an account for shipping), and regular copies are available wherever and however you consume your books!
I am seriously grinning ear to ear right now.

My mother got an award a couple weeks ago, honoring her service to future educators. It was glass and I joked that it was going to be my kids’ version of the crystal egg that gets cracked in Risky Business.
Then I got my own glass award in the mail this week, for selling over 250,000 copies of Don’t Forget to Write and… I have a feeling that joke is gonna come back to bite me… 🤣🫠
Thank you to my readers and everyone at Lake Union and @amazonpublishing. This gets the highest place of honor in my office—both because it’s so special and because I have to try to keep it out of the kids’ reach!

My husband and children were back at it with the backyard squirrel feeder and I told them they had to stop because my older dog is trying to chase the fat squirrels with a torn ACL.
So this morning, the kids apparently left a squirrel snack (complete with a drink) on the front step where the dogs couldn’t see it 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
