Books by Sara Goodman Confino
“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.”

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 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Listen you guys. I’m out here writing two books a year, running my own social media, momming, taking my dog to the vet multiple times a week most weeks (IYKYK), all while trying to stay hydrated and eat enough protein.
I. Am. Tired.

So a new Kindle Colorsoft dropped today ahead of the Prime Days and MY BOOK IS IN THE AD FOR IT. You guys. I am geeking out hard here. Like… those four leaf clovers REALLY turned my day around. I feel famous. Am I famous?
So… I clearly need this Kindle now. But also some of the new paperwhites to match my different book covers. That’s a tax write off, right? I should buy all of them?
HOW FREAKING COOL IS THIS? Thank you so much to my editor, @nancyytaylorr 🩷🩷🩷
