Book Nook - Spring Books from Atria Fiction

 Here are some recently-released and soon-to-be-released books from Atria fiction!



Other ValleyTHE OTHER VALLEY by Scott Alexander Howard:
Jimmy Fallon’s Book Club Top Four Pick, Soon to be a TV series
For fans of Never Let Me Go and The Giver, an elegant and exhilarating literary speculative novel about an isolated town neighbored by its own past and future, and a young girl who spots two elderly visitors from across the border: the grieving parents of the boy she loves. “A mind-bending take on time travel...Howard has a naturalist’s gift for the pastoral.” —The New York Times



Kill for Me, Kill for YouKILL FOR ME, KILL FOR YOU by Steve Cavanagh:
For fans of The Silent Patient and Gone Girl, a razor-sharp and Hitchcock-inspired psychological thriller about two ordinary women who make a dangerous pact to take revenge for each other after being pushed to the brink. “Twisty…full of surprises.” —The New York Times





THE BREAKAWAY by Jennifer Weiner: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a warmhearted and empowering new novel about love, family, friendship, secrets, and a life-changing journey. The Breakaway is sexy and suspenseful and so much fun, even as it asks us to imagine lives unconstrained by convention." —The New York Times



 

 

 

Lagos WifeTHE LAGOS WIFE by Vanessa Walters: This lush and suspenseful Good Morning America Book Club pick “will have you glued to every page” (HuffPost) as it follows a woman to Nigeria to uncover what happened to her missing estranged niece…no matter the cost. Previously published as The Nigerwife“The snap-crackle-pop dialogue is a treat, as is Claudine herself, a dignified woman who never lets encounters with both a modernizing world and a country that confuses her get in the way of doing right by her family.” —NPR



 

 

Spitting GoldSPITTING GOLD by Carmella Lowkis (on sale: 5/14/24): A deliciously haunting debut for fans of Sarah Waters and Sarah Penner set in 19th-century Paris, blending gothic mystery with a captivating sapphic romance as two estranged sisters—celebrated (and fraudulent) spirit mediums—come back together for one last con. "All is not what it seems in this lush and twist-filled tale…Spitting Gold is carefully plotted, fully characterized, and incredibly satisfying." —CrimeReads



 

 

Not Here to Make FriendsNOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS by Jodi McAlister (on sale: 6/4/24): Not Here to Make Friends is what the The New York Times calls “a full-on villain romance novel, filled with lying, scheming and blazingly tumultuous sex,” as a conniving reality show contestant dead set on being the perfect TV villain battles with her estranged best friend/showrunner for control on set. What ensues is a massively entertaining clash between morally grey frenemies, and a steamy, drama-filled romance worthy of the small screen.

 

 



 

Dunning-Kruger EffectTHE DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT by Andrés Stoopendaal (on sale: 6/11/24): An over-educated, under-employed man struggles to complete his novel and get his life together over the course of one scorching hot Swedish summer in this clever, provocative, and hilarious novel that is already an acclaimed sensation abroad. "Swedish author Stoopendaal’s ruminative, cerebral, darkly humorous novel follows one man’s search for his intellectual soul." —Kirkus Reviews
