What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of the above books! Did you love them as well? Or maybe they weren't your favorite? Let's chat in the comments below!

Happy Reading!

    I don't disagree, BUT Defending Jacob has the sloppiest science. The dad cannot pass an X-linked genetic trait to his son!
