On Tuesday, on the Tonight Show's "Fallon Summer Reads" segment, Jimmy Fallon announced that The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz (Celadon Books) has been selected as this summer's pick. Hundreds of thousands of viewers cast votes, and over the next weeks, Fallon will read the book and talk about it with readers on Twitter and Instagram (#FallonSummerReads). Korelitz will appear on the Tonight Show during the week of August 9.
In May, Shelf Awareness said, "This staggeringly good literary thriller is about a staggeringly good literary thriller written by a failed novelist who has stolen the book's plot from a deceased student."
