Highlighting this week’s list, from August 27 to September 3, is Jodi Picoult’s latest bestseller, “By Any Other Name.” Known for her emotionally engaging stories, Picoult delivers once again with a tale of two women connected across centuries.

If you’re in the mood for a gripping, modern thriller, Jesse Q. Sutanto’s “You Will Never Be Me” is a must-read. For those looking for an uplifting non-fiction piece, “Live Nourished” by Shana Menei Spence offers valuable insights into food freedom and intuitive eating.

In 1581 England, young Emilia navigates her own struggles as a woman in theater. A moving story of courage and ambition.

Filled with charming banter and hilarious moments, “Bridesmaid Undercover” by Meghan Quinn is a fun rom-com starring Everly Plum, who heads up a Bridesmaid for Hire program. When investor Hardy Hopper asks Everly for help with his friends’ wedding, she accepts. Hardy’s ex is the maid of honor, and he’s the best man— he needs Everly’s help to win her back. As they carry out their plan, professional boundaries blur and unexpected sparks fly.

“The Cottage on Pelican Bay” by Brenda Jackson follows Zara Miller, who once had a whirlwind night with a stranger named “Saint.” She was never able to find him again, and two years later, he’s still on her mind. Returning to her hometown, Zara discovers Evans “Saint” Toussaint works for her brother. They keep their past a secret, but when they end up at her cottage on Pelican Bay, their desires take center stage.

High-stakes drama, frenemies, and suspense come alive in “You Will Never Be Me” by Jesse Q. Sutanto. Social media influencer Meredith “Mer” Lee teaches Aspen Palmer the ropes of online fame, but when Aspen ditches her, Mer retaliates by stealing Aspen’s kids’ iPads. With access to Aspen’s entire calendar and social media accounts, Mer throws Aspen’s life into chaos. As Aspen’s life unravels, Mer goes missing. This juicy modern thriller has it all.

In her new book, “Live Nourished: Make Peace with Food, Banish Body Shame, and Reclaim Joy,” registered dietitian and nutritionist Shana Minei Spence, founder of @TheNutritionTea on Instagram, helps readers foster a healthier relationship with food. With warm wisdom and encouraging tips—like intuitive eating and how to shut down negative body talk— Spence’s insights guide readers towards food freedom and reclaiming everyday joy.
