Sara's books get better with each other. I didn't think she could told her others, but she did with Behind Every Good Man.

I love Beverly. She is one of my favorite FMC I've read. She finds her husband cheating on her and instead of letting it break her, she decides to do what she can to stick it to him. She is hilarious, strong, brave, determined, a good mother, a good friend, a good daughter and a hard worker. She took care of everyone but herself through the book which is relatable to most wives and mothers. She's everything I want to be when I grow up, and I'm older than she was in the book.

Michael was just an upstanding man. He's what every woman wants. He was a good hearted man trying to make a difference in his state and country. I just loved Michael and how he was one of the only people to really listen to Beverly and take her advice. He was the sweetest.

And of course, Sara always kills it with her side characters. Mille, I really enjoyed her and her one liners, advice and at the end but I won't spoil that for you! Nancy, she's the best friend you'd want on your side always! I loved her and her attitude. She reminded me of Ada and Evelyn!

This book was just so good, Sara's best yet and I cannot wait for more!

Make sure you either read or listen to it when it releases on 8/6! 🇺🇸

I was approved for this audio and listened to it the same evening because I am obsessed with all things Sara Goodman Confino. Helen Laser does a phenomenal job with the various character voices, the depth of emotions and the humorous zingers. Brilliant!

Thank you Brilliance Publishing for the gifted ALC.

Behind Every Good Man is an even better Woman!

Another winner from SGC! Nobody writes independent, firecracker female characters the way she does and Beverly was another gleaming example. She was so lovable and strong, you couldn’t help but root for her. I love a good revenge story and this one did not disappoint.

I truly adore everything about this book. It was hilarious, rich in history, and such a powerful ode to women.

I had the pleasure of taking part in a Jewish author zoom chat and Sara was not only fascinating to listen to as she told her origin story, she was also really funny! That same sense of humor absolutely shines through in her writing. There were so many times throughout the story I burst out laughing.

What I loved;
✨ Women’s/Historical Fiction
✨ Jewish Rep
✨ 1960’s DC
✨ Female Empowerment
✨ Connected Characters
✨ LOL Humor

I wasn’t 💯 sure about this one with the heavy politics premise, but do not let that sway you! Add this one to your TBR.

A huge thank you to SGC for the gifted ALC! Helen Laser’s narration was absolutely fantastic and so much fun to listen to. Her voice was the perfect match to your words.

ARC review.
Behind Every Good Man
This is my honest to goodness review on this book, despite being an ARC reviewer. 🩵
I love Sara. I have read and loved every single one of her books, but this one is my favorite. I have been STALKING her insta since she announced this book.
Bev is such a strong and loveable FMC.
Her mother though. 😂 Sara not only writes the best main characters, but by far my favorite side characters. I loved Millie.
I loved the mention of the characters from Don't Forget to Write. I love that Millie spent a summer with Ada.
I'm not big on politics, but I loved this book.
Women empowerment.
I laughed out loud with this book.
As for side characters, Stuart. I even loved that grouch. 😂
The Peter Pan scene with Michael. My hearttttt. 💗
This book isn't even out yet and I'm already ready for more from Sara Goodman Confino.
Pub date: August 6.
Make sure you read it. 🫶🏻

I can ALWAYS count on Sara for pulling me out of my reading slumps.

After catching her husband with his secretary, Beverly does the ultimate act of revenge. She signs up to help Michael Landau’s senatorial campaign. Having lived a life in the shadows of men in politics, Beverly uses her knowledge, wit and determination to lead Michael’s campaign in a new direction that will hopefully be enough to beat the opponent who’s team is run by her ex.

I impatiently wait all year to get my hands on the next Sara Confino book and once again she wrote a flawless women’s fiction and historical fiction blend (with the perfect amount of romance). Beverly was a strong and likable FMC and keeping consistent with her other books, her mother Millie made such an awesome sidekick. They were both well ahead of their time and an inspiration to anyone who has even felt underestimated or like the underdog. Even if you don’t love politics in books, I would give this one a try. It is more about how women can empower and influence men’s decisions than about specific political issues. With strong Jewish representation, laugh out loud humor, a glimpse into women’s live in the 60s, and a wonderful full cast of characters, this is one not to miss! Plus, get ready the Marilyn/ Ava cameos! Also on audio this was just UNREAL!!!

4.5 ⭐️ Behind every good man… is an even better woman! Sara Goodman Confino is my go-to for strong, sassy, independent FMCs, and Beverly was no exception! After catching her husband with his pants down (literally!), she seeks revenge in the best way she knows how— to stick it to him in the upcoming election. This book gave major Mrs. Maisel vibes, which I loved. Some of the election/political pieces resulted in my attention and investment dipping (perhaps due to my anxiety about the upcoming election?). Still, this was another stellar book from SGC with all of the girl power! Plus, you can’t go wrong with the audio version. Excellent narration!
