SPARKS FLY de Hazel Henry

Three girls, one summer—and the perfect beach read for fans of Gilmore Girls, Jenny Han, and Elin Hilderbrand!

SPARKS FLY
by Hazel Henry
Avon/HarperCollins, May 2026

The Hollidays are having a summer to remember . . .

Georgia can’t wait to get back to Laurel Lake, where she’ll be too busy lifeguarding to miss her boyfriend, Rhys. Besides, he’ll visit every weekend. It’ll be perfect. She certainly won’t get distracted by the local boy who seems determined to catch her eye …

Daisy is finally old enough for a summer job at the local club, which is good because it will take her mind off the confusing way she and Owen said goodbye—by kissing. A lot. Are they dating now? And if so, should she not be spending time with Mateo, the hot older guy who’s always available to give her a ride home from work?

Eden is on thin ice with her parents, who think that learning to survive in the woods will “fix” her. Sure, being at the lake with Georgia and Daisy is great. A backpacking class? No. A backpacking class with her ex infatuation and forever arch nemesis, Leo? She’d rather hike all the way back to New York City.

The Holliday sisters have so many questions: about love, friendship, and who they want to be. Luckily, they also have each other.

Hazel Henry spends her summers close to several beautiful lakes, though she rarely meets cute boys there. Her favorite warm-weather traditions are beach bonfires, sunset ice cream runs (strawberry, but only if it’s with real strawberries), and lazing in the hammock with a good book.

THE ALGORITHM de Jon McNeill

From a former President of Tesla comes The Algorithm—the first book written by any of Elon Musk’s direct reports—a transformative guide for leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who want to emulate the paradigm-shattering approach Musk used to launch Tesla and SpaceX to meteoric success.

The Hypergrowth Formula that will Revolutionize Any Business

Jonathan McNeill had already founded and sold six startups when Sheryl Sandberg introduced him to Elon Musk, who was looking for help at Tesla. McNeill was steeped in the lean principles that had made Toyota a global powerhouse—principles focused on achieving efficiency and optimization by incrementally improving existing systems and processes. What he learned from Elon at Tesla was its antithesis, an approach that required radical rethinking to explode the status quo, attack complexity, and set seemingly unrealistic goals. Elon called this five-step framework “The Algorithm.”

1. Question every requirement.
2. Delete every possible step in the process.
3. Simplify and optimize.
4. Accelerate cycle time.
5. Automate.

In this book, McNeill details this tremendously powerful set of tools, which brought Tesla from a production crisis that threatened to derail it to a period of hypergrowth. During his tenure, revenue boomed from $2B to $20B in just 30 months. Since his departure from Tesla, McNeill has used The Algorithm in every enterprise he has worked with to supercharge speed, efficiency, innovation, and growth. Featuring case studies from Tesla and SpaceX, as well as from Lululemon, GM, and companies of various sizes across industries, he reveals how any business can do the same and achieve the unimaginable.

Jonathan McNeill is the cofounder and CEO of venture capital firm DVx Ventures. A serial entrepreneur and business leader with a proven track record of boosting revenue and scaling companies, he served as the president of Tesla, Inc., and the COO of Lyft. McNeill currently holds positions on the board of directors of General Motors, CrossFit, and Lululemon, among others. A sought-after speaker, he is a frequent contributor to CNBC and is regularly quoted in business publications such as Fortune, Semafor, and TechCrunch.

ECONOMICS WITHOUT NUMBERS de Peter Coy

Economics rules our lives, but we don’t fully understand how. People can’t easily grasp the big ideas of economics because they’re put off by the graphs, equations, and specialized terminology. This book explains economics through a powerful and underused teaching tool – the metaphor.

A Guide for the Perplexed

Economics and metaphors go together like pasta and clam sauce. The free market is an invisible hand. A rising tide lifts all boats (supposedly). There’s pushing on a string, which describes the difficulty of fighting deflation by lowering interest rates. Trickle down, the benighted notion that the best way to help the poor is to help the rich first. Real estate bubbles, stock market liquidity, price inflation, the random walk of stock prices.

If you understand the metaphors of economics, you’ll be able to make more sense of the latest report on the CPI or the GDP, and you’ll carry your weight in conversations about inflation or the national debt. “Metaphors are markers that orient the discovering wanderer,” two economists once wrote.

Each metaphor is illustrated. Skipping around is highly encouraged. There’s also a detailed index for people who want to look up a puzzling term. (What’s all this about the “velocity” of money?) For casual readers there’s a quick overview in large type. People who want to read more deeply can continue to the main text.

Peter Coy is a writer for the Opinion section of The New York Times, where he has a newsletter on econonmics and adjacent topics. He writes about big macro topics of economic growth, unemployment, and inflation, and also delves into business, markets, trade, government policy, and personal finance.

THE FOUR SEASONS OF HEARTBREAK de Sheleana Aiyana

A deeply personal and compassionate companion for anyone who has experienced heartbreak and is searching for a way to heal, by Sheleana Aiyana, the founder of Rising Woman and Spiritual Counselor for those navigating life’s toughest transitions.

Heartbreak is loss, and it brings on real grief, whether it is a romantic partner, a friend, or even your own family. When we get caught in the rush to “move on”, we tend to resist the fluid process of grief, but if we look at nature, we will see its incredible ability to self-heal on its own timeline. In the same way we can’t control the seasons of the earth, we aren’t in control of the seasons of our lives. We can, however, attune ourselves to these changes, and prepare and honor the significance that each of the seasons brings.

With an approach that’s both gentle and wise, Sheleana leads us through the four “seasons” of heartbreak:

• Inner Autumn, a time to gather what we need and prepare to let go,
• Inner Winter, where we allow ourselves to grieve and rest,
• Inner Spring, a season of tentative, hopeful beginnings, and
• Inner Summer, when our hearts feel open to love and joy again.

By looking inward and honoring each season, readers will find that heartbreak isn’t just an end but also a beginning—a chance to rebuild, grow, and connect with themselves more deeply.

THE FOUR SEASONS OF HEARTBREAK is more than just a book; Sheleana offers readers a soulful journey toward transformation and finding ourselves again after loss. For anyone who’s been broken open by life, this book is here to help you gather the pieces and embrace the new version of yourself that’s waiting to be born.

Sheleana Aiyana is the founder of Rising Woman a growing community of more than 3 million readers. Her training and immersion in couples’ facilitation, inherited family trauma, family systems, conscious relationship, and somatic heal­ing inform her holistic approach to seeing relationship as a spiritual path. More than 50,000 women in 146 countries have taken her relationship programs. Her flagship course was the inspiration for her debut book Becoming the One, a transformational inner-work journey to heal lifelong relationship patterns and an international bestseller sold in over 15 countries. Sheleana has been featured in People Magazine, Vogue, ET, Cosmo, Elle, Folklife Magazine, and more.
