Paperback releases for the week of May 10th include THE MOTION OF THE BODY THROUGH SPACE, Lionel Shriver’s entertaining send-up of today’s cult of exercise --- which not only encourages better health, but now like all religions also seems to promise meaning, social superiority and eternal life --- in which an aging husband’s sudden obsession with extreme sport makes him unbearable; SQUEEZE ME, Carl Hiaasen's hilarious novel of social and political intrigues, set against the glittering backdrop of Florida’s gold coast; COUNTDOWN 1945, veteran journalist and "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace's electrifying behind-the-scenes account of the 116 days leading up to the American attack on Hiroshima; and DJINN PATROL ON THE PURPLE LINE, Deepa Anappara's Edgar Award-winning debut novel about three friends who venture into the most dangerous corners of a sprawling Indian city to find their missing classmate.
Ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, Poppy and Alex are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart, but every summer, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. She decides to convince Alex to take one more vacation together --- lay everything on the table and make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
