YOUNG ADULT
A Queen's Game by Katharine McGee
"Nothing beats escaping into a fun royal drama-and Katharine McGee's American Royals series is one of my favorites," says Carissa Mosness, FIRST Assistant Digital Editor.
"So when I heard she was releasing another royal-themed book-this time set in 19th-century Europe cleared my schedule to read it!" The story follows Queen Victoria's favorite granddaughter, Alix of Hesse. Alix knows she will marry a prince, but the one she's currently falling for is not the one she's set to marry. Elsewhere, Hélène d'Orléans, the daughter of the exiled King of France, is technically no longer a princess, but she's spending time with charming Prince Eddy, heir to the British throne-and very much off-limits. Royal outsider May of Teck wants one thing: to finally have a place in the royal court. And she is determined to marry the future king to make it happen.
What follows is a battle of love, duty and staying true to who you are and what you believe in. "Based on real women and true events, this Victorian-era story swept me away," cheers Carissa. "Plus, the romance and marriage mart gossip was very entertaining! This might be my favorite Katharine McGee book yet." (Random House, 2024)
FAMILY SAGA
A Reason to See You Again by Jami Attenberg
"When I'm in the mood for an emotional book, I reach for a family saga," says Melissa D'Agnese, FIRST Senior Editor. "And Jami Attenberg's latest novel is a captivating story about family love and the many forms it can take." The book begins in the 1970s, after the death of patriarch Rudy, which sends the Cohen women into a crisis. Shelly,the youngest, runs off to the West Coast. Her sister, Nancy, gets married at age 21. Their mother, Frieda, moves to Miami to try to forget her past. Says Melissa, "This story intrigued me from the jump." (Ecco, 2024)
