A Better Book Club

Meredith used to spend every summer in Martha's Vineyard, but she hasn't been back since her sister Claire died. Now her cousin Sarah is getting married, so the whole family will be back in the Vineyard...and there's a game of water-gun Assassin afoot. Bittersweet memories mingle with budding romance in this marshmallow-y summer read.

Between running an enchanted catering service, reading people by their hairstyles, knowing the thing someone will need before they need it, and sensing where things belong, it's no wonder that the Waverly women don't fit in to the small town of Bascom, North Carolina. Losses of the past and promises of the future aren't always mutually exclusive in this enchanting tale.

This hotel-based murder mystery will keep you guessing all the way through the epilogue. Molly Gray is an exceptional maid, but a misfit in her personal life (or lack thereof) ever since the passing of her dear Gran. But through a series of social miscues, she will wind up in the kind of trouble that can't be swept under the rug.

Tess Collins lives a split life between the abject servitude of her upbringing and the glamour on the outskirts of the rich and famous, namely Lady Duff Gordon. This progressive first-person retelling of the infamous Titanic tragedy not only showcases the fashion industry in its heyday, but highlights the class struggles of life, love, and even survival.

In this modern-day reimagining of Jane Eyre, Jane agrees to tutor the troublemaking niece of the infamous Evan Rochester after the sudden disappearance of Evan's wife, Beatrice.

But things aren't always what they seem at Thorn Bluffs, and it's up to Jane to uncover secrets of love, illness, and family that lay just out of reach.
