She's accused of four murders. She's only guilty of three... When
Ruby was a child growing up in Miami, she saw a boy from her school
struggling against the ocean waves while his parents were
preoccupied. Instead of helping him, Ruby dove under the water and
held his ankle down until he drowned. She waited to feel guilty for
it, but she never did. And, as Ruby will argue in her senior thesis
while studying psychology at Yale, guilt is sort of like eating ice
cream while on a diet - if you're already feeling bad, why not eat
the whole carton? And so, the bodies start to stack up. Twenty-five
years later, Ruby's in an interrogation room under suspicion of
murder, being shown four photographs. Each is a person she once
knew, now deceased. The line-up includes her husband Jason. She is
responsible for three of the four deaths... but it might be the
crime that she didn't commit that will finally ensnare her. From
the Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer of The Bold Type, this
darkly funny and compulsively page-turning novel is perfect for
fans of Caroline Kepnes' You and Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister
the Serial Killer.

A hilarious memoir about the ending of a marriage that should have
lasted forever-or at least for five years.
It's an age-old story. Girl meets boy. Girl marries boy. Girl
decides she is way too young to be stuck in nuptial mediocrity.
When Sascha realized that the one person she didn't want at her
thirtieth birthday party was her husband, she knew that it was time
for the relationship to end. So, like the hordes of others of her
generation for whom starter marriages are as common as Louis
Vuitton knock-offs and $5 Starbucks lattes, they got divorced. With
wit, moxie, and honesty, Sascha spills about the horrible
ex-boyfriends, awkward dates, drugs, a near-death experience, and
memories of growing up in an unconventional household that led to
her short- lived marriage.
A story of love, loss, a flat-screen TV named Ruby, and plenty of
misguided decisions, "How to Get Divorced by 30" is a hysterical
look at what exactly "Til death do us part" means today.
