Staff Picks

A New York Times bestseller and Good Morning America Book Club Pick, this zeitgeisty debut follows three women in a wealthy Brooklyn family. Darley, the eldest, made sacrifices for motherhood; Sasha, a middle-class New Englander, navigates life as an outsider in the Brooklyn Heights family; and Georgiana, the youngest, grapples with unattainable love. Set in the indulgent world of New York's elite, "Pineapple Street" is a smart and witty family drama, exploring the unknowability of others' families, the divide between the haves and have-nots, and the chaos of first love. A sheer delight hailed by The New York Times and Vogue.

Lies upon lies unfold, exploring themes of true love and ultimate truth. Praised by John Green as "thrilling, beautiful, and blisteringly smart," this unforgettable novel is a National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree. Don't miss the #1 New York Times bestselling prequel, "Family of Liars." Just LIE about how it ends.
