THE PARADISE PROBLEM by Christina Lauren (on-sale May 14, 2024) Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar), returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.

This fresh and whip-smart modern retelling of Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice—from the authors of the “great beach read” (Bookreporter) Emma of 83rd Street—transports you to summer in the Hamptons, where classes clash, rumors run wild, and love has a frustrating habit of popping up where you least expect it.

ALL have their interesting points, but I am looking forward to the CLo book (great cover and premise), the Bellezza/Harding book (the first book is in my TBR), and the Dubb book (birds?!). The premises of both the Harvey and Chilton books are nice and I would still look forward to reading them in the future.
