Read with Friends & Fiction

Curated by Friends & Fiction

About the Curator
Friends & Fiction was started by bestselling authors and friends Mary Kay Andrews, Kristin Harmel, Kristy Woodson Harvey, and Patti Callahan Henry. They share their love of books with a live web show, a podcast, in an online community on Facebook & Instagram, and now in their Fable book club.
As the weather begins to warm, nothing sounds more inviting than sitting outside with a good book in hand. Luckily, we’ve found the perfect novels to read on the porch with a glass of iced tea. From the beaches of Savannah to the forests of Poland, from the Gilded Age to the modern day, these gorgeous novels offer readers thoughtful escapism, no matter where the summer may lead.

The Homewreckers

The Homewreckers

By Mary Kay Andrews
Combine a love story, house flippers, a murder mystery, and reality TV, and you’ve got Mary Kay Andrews’s delightful latest novel. Hattie Kavanaugh is a young widow who’s struggling to make her way as a contractor restoring old houses in Savannah. When she’s approached by a reality TV producer about starring in a house-flipping show, she assumes she has nothing to lose. But sparks fly when she meets the show’s handsome but difficult designer, and quite literally when a fire threatens the project. As if that weren’t enough, Hattie finds herself drawn into a murder mystery when a body is found on the property. A page-turning delight from a reigning queen of summer reads.
