"The Humans by Matt Haig was a book I read right at the beginning of my journey to get help for my mental illness. It was the first time I was introduced to the fact that my individual existence is statistically impossible, but I exist regardless. Something about that grounded me at a time when I didn’t even feel like a person. Nothing’s helped out quite like an alien wearing a human suit to learn human nature did." —marjiearjie"It is my go-to book for my existential crises. The book is just incredible, and makes you think about every aspect of life." —jennyb4932b6416Get it from Amazon for $12.49+, Barnes & Noble for $10.19+, or a local bookseller through IndieBound here.

Reveals how Dumas balanced the backstory in The Three Musketeers to give readers just the right amount of information at just the right moment.
"It's beautiful, dark, and you'll want to re-read it just to make sure you didn't miss the narrator revealing her first name. The mystery and intrigue surrounding the titular character is captivating, and the evolution of the narrator equally so. Not naming herself just underscores how haunted and overshadowed she is by the memory of Rebecca, and it's truly brilliant. I would recommend this book to anyone."– Amber Fratesi

*BELLETRIST JUNE BOOK CLUB PICK* Named a Best Book of May by TIME Magazine & Glamour One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year This darkly funny and provocative novel reimagines classic fairy tale characters as modern women in a support group for trauma. In present-day New York City, five women meet in a basement support group to process their traumas. Bernice grapples with the fallout of dating a psychopathic, blue-bearded billionaire. Ruby, once devoured by a wolf, now wears him as a coat. Gretel questions her memory of being held captive in a house made of candy. Ashlee, the winner of a Bachelor-esque dating show, wonders if she really got her promised fairy tale ending. And Raina's love story will shock them all. Though the women start out wary of one another, judging each other’s stories, gradually they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they supposed . . . What really brought them here? What secrets will they reveal? And is it too late for them to rescue each other?
