July: Reading With Rochelle Weinstein

August 1, 2025 | By | Reply More

Hello Readers & Friends,

Another month flies by, and just when I think I have my TBR under control, BAM. Another Tuesday and another set of titles to replenish the pile. I read some fabulous books in July, and there was the obvious bingeworthy Netflix series which everyone is talking about: The Hunting Wives. As an author who just had her novel What You Do To Me optioned for a feature film, it’s wonderful to see our hard work on the big screen. Join me in congratulating May Cobb on this pinch-me moment. If you’re in the North Carolina area, I’ll be in Blowing Rock 8/17 and Greensboro 8/26. In the meantime, check out my July Reads.

WE ARE MADE OF STARS

Secrets, lies, and second chances are served up beneath the stars at a picturesque mountain getaway in this powerful novel about love and family by the bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends.

At the Vis Ta Vie inn, Reneé and Jean-Paul De La Rue face the daunting decision to close their beloved home for good.

They’re not the only ones going through a season of change, though. Their guests include three couples in crisis: Hollywood celebs Leo and Penny are spending their silver anniversary together while on the cusp of divorce. Lucy, a practical-minded therapist, and Henry, an astronomer with his head in the stars, are struggling to find common ground. And former lawyer and current stay-at-home mom Sienna and charismatic sports agent Adam look perfect but are hiding rifts of their own. Thrown into the mix are self-absorbed single mother Cassidy and her sullen fifteen-year-old daughter, Rosalie.

The stage is set for a week of betrayals, regrets, and shocking truths that can rend the heart or heal it. Vis Ta Vie―live your life―captures what it means to love through the darkness, and to find the light even after the magic fades.
