The holiday season may still be a few months away, but Berkley is already giving romance readers two festive releases to place at the top of their fall TBR lists.
Opening with a quote about marriage from Oscar Wilde and ending with a dedication to Diane Keaton, “The Invite” (A24) is the hilarious tearjerker we’ve been waiting for all year. An English-language adaptation of Cesc Gay’s 2020 movie “Sentimental” (based on Gay’s stage play), “The Invite” was directed by Olivia Wilde, who also plays one of the four lead characters, and features a screenplay co-written by Rashida Jones.

From enchanted forests and cozy hometown romances to behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories and Studio Ghibli wisdom, this fall's upcoming releases are already filling our TBR piles.
In 2020, Emmy and Tony Award-winning gay national treasure Sean Hayes took the unfortunate misstep of playing the titular character in “Lazy Susan,” a movie for which he co-wrote the screenplay. It’s painful to even think about the gifted Hayes playing that lead role in that dismal movie.
Readers and writers of poetry know that characteristics of the literary genre include imagery and economy of language.
