Book excerpt: When Harlee finally made that hard choice, she knew that Grace would stand by her. Through the tears and the crying and the screaming in frustration, Grace always had been there. When a friendship turned into more, Harlee wasn't sure what to do. Should she run the risk of ruining a friendship she's had for 8 years just to try out a relationship? Does she take the chance when it could mean breaking up an 8 year team? A hard decision was an understatement but it was a choice she'd have to make. Zack Walker had been part of Harlee's band for what felt like forever. When he saw her relationship with Jake crumbling around her, all he wanted to do was jump in and save her from it all. After telling her that he'd spent his life waiting for her to be single, Harlee almost laughed him right out of the room. He'd had the typical rock star past full of one night stands and girlfriends who didn't mean much to him, but would she really hold all of that against him? When the right time came, he'd jumped at the chance to be with her, and wasn't about to give it up. When Grace saw Zack and Harlee together, part of her questioned it it was right, the other part questioned what Jake would do when he found out. She had to put her feelings aside when her relationship was rekindled with Kevin, but would she be able to hide Harlee's new love from Jake? She had to hide a lot from Kevin and Jake, but she knew that there was that chance that Harlee was going to lose it all. When you have to make the hardest choice ever, it better be what you want. Living with the hard choices was easy if it was the right choice and the right man.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of The Weight of Water and The Pilot's Wife: an exquisitely suspenseful novel about an extraordinary young woman tested by a catastrophic event—based on the true story of the largest fire in Maine's history. “Long before Liane Moriarty was spinning her 'Big Little Lies,' Shreve was spicing up domestic doings in beachfront settings with terrible husbands and third-act twists. She still is, as effectively as ever.” —New York Times Book Review In October 1947, Grace Holland is experiencing two simultaneous droughts. An unseasonably hot, dry summer has turned the state of Maine into a tinderbox, and Grace and her husband, Gene, have fallen out of love and barely speak. Five months pregnant and caring for two toddlers, Grace has resigned herself to a life of loneliness and domestic chores. One night she awakes to find that wildfires are racing down the coast, closer and closer to her house. Forced to pull her children into the ocean to escape the flames, Grace watches helplessly as everything she knows burns to the ground. By morning, her life is forever changed: she is homeless, penniless, awaiting news of her husband's fate, and left to face an uncertain future in a town that no longer exists. With courage and stoicism, Grace overcomes devastating loss and, through the smoke, is able to glimpse the opportunity to rewrite her own story.

Welcome to my life… or, more correctly, my crazy after-life. To everyone behind the gates of our wealthy community in Charming, Mississippi, my husband and I were the Joneses everyone tried to keep up with. A beautiful house, the perfect gated community, two gorgeous kids, and a supposedly flawless marriage. Until I came home and caught him rolling around in our bed, hip-deep in my best friend. Which led to the aforementioned snow plow incident. I woke up with a fear of the sun and a propensity for drinking blood. Or in laymen’s terms, a vampire.

I can still manage the carpool lane, with the right sunglasses to hide my crazy eyes. But between daytime soccer games, a missing college student who might have been a vampire kill, trying not to drain my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and keeping my neighbors in the dark, I’m shaking in my Jimmy Choos. I'm not sure I can do this.
