Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by by Chuck Palahniuk’s Adjustment Day, on sale now from W. W. Norton.

People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They’ve been reading a mysterious book and memorizing its directives. They are ready for the reckoning.

In his first novel in four years, Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians bring the nation to the brink of a third world war; working-class men dream of burying the elites. When Adjustment Day arrives, it fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.

Teen actor Darien Freeman has dreamed of playing Carmindor, but Starfield fans have already written him off as another dumb heartthrob. As the con approaches, Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets Elle. . .

Clara Shin lives for pranks and disruption. When she takes one joke too far, her dad sentences her to a summer working on his food truck alongside her uptight classmate Rose. Not the carefree summer Clara had imagined.

What if taking this seriously means Clara has to leave her old self behind? With Maurene Goo’s signature warmth and humor, this is a relatable story of falling in love and finding yourself in the places you’d never thought to look.

For Dr. Maggie Maguire, happiness is serious–serious science, that is. But science can’t explain everything, like why her fiancé dumped her and how the breakup sent Maggie into an ice cream-fueled chick flick binge.

When her concerned friends book Maggie as a speaker on a “New Year, New You” cruise, she wonders if she’s qualified to teach others about happiness anymore. But when a handsome stranger on board insists that smart women can’t be happy, Maggie sets out to prove him wrong. Along the way she may discover that happiness has far less to do with the head than with the heart.
