“You, Me, and the Sea is an enchanting and imaginative story about soulmates, family, and forgiveness. With its sparkling allure of Northern California’s rugged coast and aura of mystery and romance, I was swept away by this evocative modern take on Wuthering Heights.” — Elise Hooper, author of Learning to See and The Other Alcott, on You, Me, and the Sea“You, Me, and the Sea is a modern nod to Wuthering Heights that is gripping, romantic, intense, and utterly satisfying. It’s just my kind of book--intelligent and emotional, gracefully written, confident, and fully imagined. Read it even if you’re not Bronte-obsessed like me!” — Amy Mason Doan, author of Summer Hours“Nail-biting secrets, heart-pounding passion, and lush prose hurl this novel to its sweeping conclusion. For readers, like me, who wondered what if for Heathcliff and Catherine, this is a genuine treat.” — Sarah McCoy, New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of Marilla of Green Gables“A heartfelt, funny, poignant and suspenseful story of a good woman trying her best, making mistakes, picking up the pieces and moving on -- a celebration of what it means to be a working mother.” — Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Family Tree, on Every Wild Heart“An honest and engaging look at the complicated and powerful bonds of female friendship. Donohue takes us on a weekend reunion full of secrets, resentment, and regret-in other words, once you start this book, you won’t be able to put it down!” — Jennifer Close, bestselling author of Girls in White Dresses on Every Wild Heart“Every Wild Heart is Meg Donohue’s finest novel to date -- emotionally resonant, absorbing and funny in all the right places, it’s a portrait of mothers and daughters, missteps and triumphs, and love in all of its bewildering and delightful disguises.” — Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Admissions, on Every Wild Heart“Engaging.” — Entertainment Weekly, “The Best Summer Reads 2014”, on All the Summer Girls“Deliciously engaging. Donohue writes with charm and grace. What could be better than friendship and cupcakes?” — Rebecca Rasmussen, author of The Bird Sisters, on How To Eat A Cupcake“A fast-paced novel about the enduring friendship of three young women who spent their summers in Avalon on the Jersey shore before dispersing across the country....A good beach read.” — Kirkus Reviews on All the Summer Girls“Beach Book Extraordinaire! Donohue’s three protagonists are irresistibly sympathetic as they try to unbury their true selves from the ruinous secrets of their shared past.” — Elin Hilderbrand on All the Summer Girls“Beautifully written and quietly wise, Meg Donohue’s How to Eat a Cupcake is an achingly honest portrayal of the many layers of friendship--a story so vividly told, you can (almost) taste the buttercream.” — Sarah Jio, author of The Violets of March and The Bungalow, on How to Eat a Cupcake“Donohue captures the beauty and frustration of reconnecting with old friends—they know you so well, and they don’t know you at all. Perfect for a staycation for readers who like the beachy drama of Elin Hilderbrand and Susan Wiggs.” — Booklist on All the Summer Girls“Donohue gives the chick-lit buddy trope an appealing twist and a lot of depth, turning a familiar yarn of regret, trust, and loyalty into an elegant ode to late bloomers.” — Publishers Weekly on All the Summer Girls“Donohue has written a sharp little novel featuring the subtle characterizations of two appealingly flawed young women.” — Kirkus Reviews on How to Eat a Cupcake“Donohue’s latest is women’s fiction at its finest, a masterfully unfeigned story about unconditional love and its healing power mixed with a thrilling mystery.
