For book lovers, reading is always in season. But this time of year, as mega retailers like Barnes & Noble release their picks for the best books of the year and celebrity book clubs continue to share their monthly selections, every day feels like a holiday for avid readers and book fans.
Wednesday, the Good Morning America Book Club named its pick for November. Fans are already giving GMA’s choice a virtual thumbs up. The morning chat show wrote:
“Family can be a real ‘Wreck’ sometimes — but at least our November #GMABookClub pick will help you laugh through it!
‘Wreck’ by Catherine Newman is a story filled with humor, heart, and the complicated truths about family, marriage, and the unexpected twists of life.”

Picking up two years after the events in Newman’s previous novel Sandwich, Rocky is now in her 50s and living in western Massachusetts with her husband and adult children. Two crises dog Rocky: a mysterious rash and the sudden death of someone tangentially connected to her family. Thrust into an anxiety spin cycle about mortality, love, and what it means to truly care for the people closest to her, Newman uses her signature wit and emotional insight to delve into the messy beauty of everyday life, family, aging, and the connections that keep us going.
Published on October 28, 2025, Wreck is the follow-up to Newman’s Sandwich, which became an instant New York Times bestseller. The New York Times and bestselling authors Ann Patchett and Elin Hilderbrand praised the book, with Hilderbrand calling it “Just perfect.”
NPR suggests readers who ate up Sandwich will have a taste for Wreck, calling the 2025 release a “warm, witty sequel.” The Washington Post calls Wreck “almost as delightful” as Sandwich, while the Boston Globe calls Newman’s latest “another winner.”
With reviews this strong and a book club pick from Good Morning America, it looks like Catherine Newman has another hit on her hands, just in time for readers to dive in while spending time with family for the holidays.
