Main Character Energy 

By Jamie Varon, $18.99

Poppy Banks is ready to accept life on the sidelines as a plus-size woman when her beloved aunt dies, leaving Poppy a surprise trip to her villa in the French Riviera. There, she’ll find out her aunt has a grand inheritance planned for her, if she’s able to finish writing her novel in six months. With family drama, complicated romances, and self-doubt threatening to throw her off course, Poppy must decide if she can be the main character in her own life.

By Jillian Cantor, $17.99

When a lucrative ghostwriting opportunity arises, Olivia Fitzgerald—a once-rising literary star who’s been down on her luck—finds herself at the Malibu estate of a reclusive billionaire with a freshly signed NDA in-hand. He wants her to write a book that will reveal a shocking secret about his late grandmother and Daphne du Maurier. But digging into his past leaves Olivia with more questions than answers and before she knows it, she’s trapped in a gothic mystery of her own.
