“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.”

Happy pub day to my girl, @lindsayhameroff, whose latest novel, Rewrite the Stars, is out today!
I LOVED this book. Absolutely loved it. Yes, it’s a romance (and a swoony one at that!!!) but it’s so much more too. It’s about finding yourself again after children and trying to be the best parent you can be and coparenting. And as a mom who sometimes feels like my own identity got lost in the shuffle this last decade, this book was EVERYTHING. So go snag your copy today in whatever format you consume your books in!
Love you Lindsay!!!!!!!

“Celebrating” the Fourth with kids is tricky. I want them to be able to keep as much of their innocence for as long as possible, but I don’t want to ignore reality either.
So the kids and I made a flag cake, as we’ve done in previous years. And, as in previous years, we made it with rainbow and chocolate sprinkles inside and talked about the significance of America being for everyone.
But even posting this cake, I think about a Bruce line today, (and NOT Born in the USA). “Your flag flying over the courthouse means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t. It’s gonna be a long walk home…”
I’m positive I won’t be the only one making this today… but it had to be done! 🤣

Some recent additions to my shelves. A bedazzled book by @glitteronmybookshelf, a bedazzled Lego typewriter and pencils from the ladies at @shesallbookedup, and a jewelry tray I got from a store in Stone Harbor that I feel like Judy would approve of.
And lest anyone think my life is all bedazzled presents and badass slogans, last night at a local fireworks show, a glowstick broke and squirted INTO MY EYE. THAT WAS FUN.
(I’m fine. I flushed it with a water bottle. Just stung a lot and apparently I looked like something out of a horror movie for a few minutes. Shout out to @abeatleyay for making sure I was ok! 🩷)

We have reached the part of the summer where I turn into an old lady during swim practice.
Not brave enough to bring my Kindle in until adult swim though. These kids have no respect!
Anyone else turn old when the weather gets hot?
