Imagine a mashup of The Devil Wears Prada and In Good Company . The story is heavily inspired by All About Eve (which you must watch immediately if you never have): when 42-year-old Glossy magazine editor Imogen Tate returns from a 6-month sabbatical, she finds that her fill-in, a twenty-something Harvard Business School grad, is actively trying to usurp her position—permanently. (And worse—turn the magazine into an app!) Not great literature, but tons of fun.

"In an age of villainy, war and inequality, it makes sense that we need superheroes," writes Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. "And after trying Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, we may have found the best superheroes yet: Nuns." I had to google to see if this Jo Piazza was the same Jo Piazza who co-authored The Knockoff. I was delighted to see that it is.

I adored The Knockoff and am so excited Sykes and Piazza are teaming up again! Janey Sweet is the successful CEO of a couture wedding dress company, but when she's photographed stuffing her face on the front row of a fashion show, her business partner gives her an ultimatum: lose 30 pounds, or lose your job. The Knockoff fired shots at our collective social media obsession; Fitness Junkie tackles the wellness craze. If this new novel enjoys half the success of their first team effort, everyone will be reading this at the pool this summer. Publication date: July 11, 2017

I’m excited for this new release from one-half of the duo that wrote The Knockoff, and the solo author of the terrific nonfiction If Nuns Ruled the World. Charlotte Walsh is COO of one of the world’s fastest-growing companies, and then she decides to uproot her family from their California home to run for Senate in her home state of Pennsylvania. If she wins, she’ll be the first woman to hold that office. Her campaign quickly becomes a fight about her gender, and she’s not having it. Piazza has said she didn’t plan on writing this book, but real-life politics inspired her to write a novel about politics and media right away. The story is told through a variety of mediums—an Emily’s List endorsement, an MSNBC interview transcript, a twitter thread. Advance reviews say the ending is a doozy. I’m intrigued.

In this collaboration between Summer Reading Guide author Jo Piazza (The Knockoff) and veteran book editor and Cup of Jo columnist Christine Pride, a longtime friendship between a white woman and a Black Journalist is threatened by tragedy. While the inciting incident in this timely read is a police shooting, the real anchor of the story is the strong female friendship between two well-developed characters. Listen to this week's new episode of What Should I Read Next ("Books you can believe in") to hear Jo and Christine talk more about cowriting this book and their own reading lives.
