“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.”

This list. THIS LIST. I—I don’t know how I’m on this list.
Ask me what books shaped me as a writer. Go ahead, ask me.
I’ll tell you. Watership Down was my first “grownup book” at ten. The Handmaid’s Tale made me a feminist. Beloved opened my eyes to the dark underbelly of the American experience. Bridget Jones’s Diary made me want to (and taught me how to) write universal stories with laugh-out-loud humor. Daisy Jones and the Six made me see that modern historical fiction could be some of the most riveting. Lessons in Chemistry showed me the power of a badass woman ahead of her time.
To be on a list with these authors, these books—I keep tearing up. I don’t know how I got here. This is everything in a way that I can’t even begin to explain.
Thank you @bookbub for letting my little book sit among these giants.

We’ve got four of us in four schools and I don’t want to kill my 96yo grandma. So that bandaid is a big relief! 🙌🏻

Rough day and all I wanted to do when I got home was climb into bed. But as @codyrigsby reminds me and as I remind my kids (both biological and students), we can do hard things. So I got my butt on the bike and made myself feel a little better. Because I can do hard things.

It was a very chill Rosh Hashanah in the Confino house. We talked about the meaning of the holiday, then apologized to each other for things we’d done this year. Lots of playing outside with a snack of apples and honey, and then we made challahs and talked about why we make them round for Rosh Hashanah instead of braiding them. Everything I own is now covered in flour, but we had fun.
L’shana tova to all who celebrate ❤️
And yes, my #bookstagram fam, we used the recipe from the She’s Up to No Good book boxes!

Okay but what’s wrong with addition, subtraction, and memorizing multiplication tables? If it ain’t broke, why do *I* have to learn about number bonds and five cards?
