Feel-Good Books for February by Andrea Peskind Katz

There is no better month to celebrate feel-good books than February. Whether you are celebrating Valentines, Galentines or Bookentines, here are titles you will love!

The Authenticity Project by Claire Pooley

The Authenticity Project‘s cast of characters–including Hazard, the charming addict who makes a vow to get sober; Alice, the fabulous mommy Instagrammer whose real life is a lot less perfect than it looks online; and their other new friends–is by turns quirky and funny, heartbreakingly sad and painfully true-to-life. It’s a story about being brave and putting your real self forward–and finding out that it’s not as scary as it seems. In fact, it looks a lot like happiness.”

A wonderful feel-good tale that reminds us all that life may be scary but we can find happiness.

Cartier’s Hope by M.J. Rose

“New York, 1910: Vera Garland is set on making her mark in a man’s world of serious journalism. Appealing to a young Russian jeweler for help, Vera is unprepared when she begins falling in love with him…

Set against the backdrop of New York’s glitter and grit, of ruthless men and the atrocities they commit in the pursuit of power, this enthralling historical novel explores our very human needs for love, retribution—and to pursue one’s destiny.”

A fast read that will make you want to try on the Hope Diamond and cheer for Vera and her beau.

The Girl in White Gloves by Kerri Maher

“A life in snapshots… 

Grace knows what people see. She’s the Cinderella story. An icon of glamor and elegance frozen in dazzling Technicolor. The picture of perfection. The girl in white gloves.

Grace Kelly.

Facing a labyrinth of romantic and social expectations with more twists and turns than Monaco’s infamous winding roads, Grace must find her own way to fulfillment.”

A captivating read as a true princess establishes her place in the world.

The Light After the War by Anita Abriel

“Inspired by the incredible true story of the author’s mother. Two Jewish friends survive the Holocaust in this sweeping novel of love and friendship that spans World War II from Budapest to Austria and the postwar years from Naples to Caracas,

Moving, evocative, and compelling, this timely tale of true friendship, love, and survival will stay with you long after you turn the final page.”

A delight to read a happy post-war story.

This Won’t End Well by Camille Pagan

An ingeniously witty novel about the risks—and rewards—of opening your life to new people.

No new people: that’s Annie Mercer’s vow. Yet when Harper moves in next door, Annie can’t help but train a watchful eye on the glamorous but fragile young woman. And if keeping Harper safe requires teaming up with Mo, a maddeningly optimistic amateur detective, who is she to mind her own business? Then fiancéJon reappears—and he wants her to join him in France. She’s pretty sure letting anyone get close won’t end well. Is another shot at happiness worth the risk?”

Quirky and lovable. Buy this one for all of your friends!

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

“Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy #ownvoices enemies-to-lovers novel, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!

A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them.”

Delightful sparks fly in this romance. Perfect for lovers of happy endings.

The Queen’s Fortune by Allison Pataki

“A sweeping novel about the extraordinary woman who captured Napoleon’s heart, Desiree. Together, they created a dynasty, and changed the course of history

From the lavish estates of the French Riviera to the raucous streets of Paris and Stockholm, Desiree finds herself at the epicenter of the rise and fall of an empire, navigating a constellation of political giants and dangerous, shifting alliances. Emerging from an impressionable girl into a fierce young woman, she discovers that to survive in this world she must learn to rely upon her instincts and her heart.”

Passion and intrigue dominate this page turner. 

Happy reading!
