Katie Fforde - Paradise ​Fields
It's ​not as if Nel hadn't enough on her plate already: organising a farmers' market in the picturesque Paradise Fields and keeping track of her unnervingly beautiful teenage daughter - plus sorting out a houseful of animals - are quite enough to keep her busy. The last thing she needs is another complication in her life, but when her old friend Sir Gerald dies and his son, Pierce - accompanied by his glamorous American wife - takes possession of The Big House, it seems that preserving the Fields is not on his list of priorities. Nel takes up arms, determined to fight for the meadow and the market she loves. But whom can she trust? She's pretty sure her friends Sacha and Vivian are on her side, but her sensible boyfriend Simon, an estate agent, is less encouraging. And then there's Jake, the exaspering yet attractive stranger who kissed her under the mistletoe. Maybe she's been a not-so-merry widow for far too long.

Isabel Wolff - Mesés ​ruhák kalandjai
Phoebe ​Swift mindig is saját vintage ruhaboltról álmodott. Minden apró részletet eltervezett, és igyekezett a legjobb tudása szerint berendezni új boltját, a legkisebb kalaptűtől egészen az igazi selyem nagyestélyikig. A Vintage Világ megnyitásakor úgy érezte, álmai megvalósulnak. Lelkes vásárlók lepték el a boltot, és egymás után próbálgatták a mesebeli ruhakölteményeket. Phoebe úgy érezte, végre révbe ért, ám múltjának egy tragikus eseménye árnyékot vetett új életére. Egy nap találkozott Thérse-zel, a kedves, idős hölggyel, aki régi, szép és különleges ruhadarabjait kínálja eladásra, egyet kivéve, melytől nem hajlandó megválni. Ahogy Thérse beavatja a kis kék kabát titkába, Phoebe egyre több párhuzamot fedez fel életük történetében, melyek segítségével utat találhat fájdalmai feldolgozásához, és akár egy új szerelemhez is.

Jennifer Weiner - In ​Her Shoes
Meet ​Rose Feller. She's thirty years old and a high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She has an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her that she's beautiful. She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up little sister to get her life together. Meet Rose's sister, Maggie. Twenty-eight years old, drop-dead gorgeous and only occasionally employed, Maggie sings backup in a band called Whiskered Biscuit. Although her dreams of big-screen stardom haven't progressed past her left hip's appearance in a Will Smith video, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune -- and of getting her dowdy big sister to stick to a skin-care regime. These two women with nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, shared DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that their family is more different than they ever imagined, and that they're more alike than they'd ever believe. In Her Shoes -- Jennifer Weiner's follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, Good in Bed -- observes Rose and Maggie, the brain and the beauty, as they make journeys of discovery that take them from the streets of Philadelphia to Ivy League libraries to a "retirement community for active seniors" in Boca Raton. Along the way, they'll encounter a wild cast of characters -- from a stepmother who's into recreational Botox to a small, disdainful pug with no name. They'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and make peace with their most intimate enemies -- each other. Funny and poignant, richly detailed and wrenchingly real, In Her Shoes will speak to anyone who has endured the bonds of big -- or little -- sisterhood, or longed for a life different from the one the world has dictated, and dreamed of trying something else on for size.

Or perhaps the problem is that she's missing one vital ingredient to make her new life a success. Could Guy be the person to provide it?
