Tune in LIVE at 7pm ET for TONIGHT’s episode! Join us Wednesday, April 16th LIVE at 7pm Eastern on the F&F Facebook page and YouTube channel as the Fab Four gather to welcome this month’s F&F Featured Author, the multi-million copy New York Times bestselling phenomenon, Jeneva Rose, to discuss our April 2025 Pick of the Month, The Perfect Divorce, the propulsively page-turning and highly-anticipated follow-up to her smash success BookTok sensation, The Perfect Marriage.
Jeneva is the NYT and USA Today bestselling author of several novels, including Home Is Where the Bodies Are, You Shouldn't Have Come Here, and One of Us Is Dead. Her breakout thriller, which earned her a loyal and massive fan base, The Perfect Marriage, has sold more than two million copies, been translated into more than two dozen languages, and been optioned for film. The Perfect Divorce (April 15, Blackstone) is an expertly plotted, emotionally charged thriller and fast-paced game of cat-and-mouse, and it delivers what her fans have been begging for—the return of Jeneva’s fan-favorite protagonist, Sarah Morgan. We are so excited that Jeneva is joining us to discuss this red-hot new book before embarking on a major national book tour. Watch the LIVE video broadcast of this interview as it airs Wed 4/16 at 7pm ET on the F&F Facebook group page & YouTube channel. Catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 4/18.

Latest News from the Fab Four!
PATTI CALLAHAN HENRY is HOME after nearly a month on the road and she is so happy to be knee deep in laundry and mail. She is grateful beyond measure to every single person who came out to see her these past weeks. Now it’s time to get back to the book she left behind (Get it? The novel she is writing?). Ah, but this doesn’t mean ALL of her events are over – there are more to come so check it out HERE – from hometown stores in Alabama to SC to Nantucket, MA to NJ and more. And a newsletter coming soon with all her favorite reads and listens during her time on the road. KRISTY WOODSON HARVEY is really excited to be sharing her favorite summer reads with Booktrib! Make sure to check it out for all the books to add to your summer TBR! She is heading to Mustique Island with her family and friends for spring break. While she is not excited for the 3am wake-up call, she is excited for this bucket list trip. And, did you know that she is touring from May 3rd – May 8th to celebrate 10 years of being an author? If you are interested in celebrating with her, check out her tour dates! KRISTIN HARMEL is so excited to tell you about her BOOK TOUR on tonight’s LIVE Friends & Fiction episode. She’ll be hitting the road for two weeks in June with tour stops coast to coast to celebrate THE STOLEN LIFE OF COLETTE MARCEAU (out June 17) and hopes to see you at one of the fabulous venues she’ll be visiting! For a peek at the tour dates (and ticketing links), click here. She’s also celebrating a great review in Library Journal (her first trade review for this book), which concludes: “As in her other popular World War II–set reads, Harmel (The Paris Daughter) ultimately delivers an emotional tale with likable characters and a feel-good ending. The moral ambiguity of the protagonist’s choices should help keep conversation flowing for the many book clubs who call Harmel a favorite.” MARY KAY ANDREWS loved meeting so many sweet readers and library lovers last weekend in Kentucky. She’s headed to Tybee Island this week to spend Easter with the family–and hopefully to get some beach walking and writing in before things start “hopping.” Get it? Hopping? Easter bunny? Nvm. She’s also got an armload of summer beach reads to dive into for the F&F upcoming beach reads extravaganza episode airing June 4th. Upgrade to our PAID Subscription for an ongoing series of roundtable discussions and personal essays by the Fab Four about their careers, writing processes, and all things book and publishing related!
