Looking for a good book?

Every week, the editors at O and Oprah.com will be letting you know about new releases that they couldn't stop reading.

The story that won our hearts: A woman who suspects her partner is having a long-distance affair pins her hopes on a birthday gift that demonstrates that she knows him better than anybody. (And boy, does she succeed!)

The title we'll never forget: "The Only Way Out Is Through"

The character we'd like to run away with:The divorced gentleman who falls in love with a woman with laryngitis, and woos her by writing notes.

The quote that changed our lives: "Only then, as she stared at the rows of book covers, at the pictures of people laughing or embracing or crying, all caught in the heroic struggles of their lives, did a small thought occur to her with such simplicity she almost said it out loud: 'I am afraid to try.'"
