It’s a new month, which means it’s time for another wonderful book… our April @readwithjenna pick is THE HUSBANDS by Holly Gramazio!
This debut novel follows protagonist, Lauren, as she returns home to her London flat one night and is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There’s only one problem—she’s not married. She’s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they’ve been together for years. As Lauren tries to figure out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man emerges, and a new, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands (from toe-tapping musicians to breakfast sandwich connoisseurs), Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?
THE HUSBANDS is such a captivating novel that dances between reality and whimsy. Get your copy TODAY and dive into this brilliantly hilarious, surprising, and wise tale where love, choices, and infinite possibilities collide.
Surprise! We’re reading TWO books this month! 🎉
To celebrate five years, our March #ReadWithJenna picks are “The Great Divide,” by Cristina Henríquez and “The House on Mango Street,” by @officialsandracisneros.
Jenna loves these books because she has personal connections to both, and these books share a beautiful connection to one another despite being written decades apart. 📚
We hope you love them as much as we do. With double the fun this month, we better start reading!
We are ringing in year 5 (!!) of Read With Jenna with a DOUBLE book club pick for March! Get ready…this month we are pairing the beautiful new novel, “The Great Divide” by Cristina Henriquez with “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros in honor of its 40th anniversary!
“The Great Divide” takes place in the early 20th century at the Panama Canal, where Omar, a young laborer, dreams of a better future while enduring the harsh realities of construction work. His story intersects with Ada, a spirited teenager from Barbados, and John Oswald, a dedicated scientist fighting malaria. Together, they become entwined in a clandestine network, revealing the deep connections, sacrifices, and hopes of those drawn to the monumental project.
“The House on Mango Street” is a coming-of-age novel that follows a young Latina girl named Esperanza as she grows up in Chicago. Through a series of vignettes, Esperanza reflects on her family, friends, and community, while grappling with issues of identity, belonging, and the desire for a better life.
These novels are complementary tales of ambition, identity, and resilience. “The Great Divide” is available in stores tomorrow, and available for preorder now! And look out for a new copy of “The House on Mango Street” with our sticker on it, or pick up your pre-loved one! Come read with us!
It’s almost May, which means it’s time to announce our next RWJ pick — “Real Americans” by Rachel Khong!
Our story begins at the precipice of Y2K in New York City. We meet our protagonist, Lily, a daughter of Chinese immigrants, who is beginning to fall in love… But this epic novel spans time and place, and before we know it, we jump ahead a few decades and also follow Lily’s son, Nick, as he embarks on a journey to find his biological father…
This book follows multiple generations of the Chen family (whose characters you won’t get enough of!) and the many places the years take them — from Beijing to New York City, to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, and San Francisco. It’s a story of family, what we carry, what we pass down, secrets and how they can divide us and bring us back together again.
Khong’s deeply moving novel explores themes of class, race, and the complexities of family dynamics, ultimately asking the question: What makes us who we are? And how inevitable are our futures? “Real Americans” is out TODAY, and I know you’ll love it just as much as I do! Head to your local indie bookstore or order online now!
I’m so excited to share our annual Read With Jenna Jr summer reading list for all the little bookworms out there. We’ve picked 29 incredible books — from picture books to young adult! Summer reading should be FUN, and your kiddos will be sure to find something they love on this list!🐛📚
What a day with the magnificent, queen Sandra Cisneros and the remarkable Cristina Henríquez. Love the pairing of these two exceptional books! 📚 Link in bio to purchase!
