From New York Times bestselling author and Thurber Prize finalist Sloane Crosley, Cult Classic is a twisted mystery on the metaphysics of modern love, memory, and mind control in the city. One night in Chinatown: Our heroine, Lola, is at a work reunion dinner with her former colleagues when she ducks out to buy cigarettes and runs into an ex-boyfriend. And then... another. And another. The city is suddenly awash with ghosts of heartbreaks past, and what would normally pass for a coincidence becomes something much stranger. The soon-to-be-married Lola must contend not only with the viability of her current relationship but the fact that both her best friend and her former boss, a magazine editor-turned-guru, might have an unhealthy, ahem, investment in the outcome. Memories of the past swirl and converge in mystical ways both comic and eerie, as Lola is forced to decide if she will buy in--to romance, and possibly also to a weird startup-slash-cult. Both suspenseful and delightfully fun

Rachael Ray presents 125+ recipes straight from her home kitchen in upstate New York, with personal stories on loss, gratitude, and the special memories that make a house a home. "I wanted to write this book because, for the first time in my 52 years, everyone on the planet was going through the same thing at the same time. We were all feeling the same fear, heartsickness, worry, and sadness, but due to the nature of the virus, it was hard to connect.
