  • “It Had to Be You” by Georgia Clark

    Amazon

    Among all of the feel-good books I’ve read, “It Had to Be You” by Georgia Clark truly takes the cake as the most memorable. It’s the fiction clone of “Love, Actually” and it’s told in multiple points of views, intertwining a diversity of relationships in the best way possible. For less than $10 right now, you *must* read it.

  • “The Social Climber” by Amanda Pellegrino

    If you love stories about class and prestige, “The Social Climber” by Amanda Pellegrino is the glamorous title that should be next in your reading pile. Its references to top brands like lululemon and others make it coming-of-age, and it has a shocking twist at the end. Plus, the details are A+.

  • “Part of Your World” by Abby Jimenez

    "Part of Your World" by Abby Jimenez
    Amazon

    “Part of Your World” by Abby Jimenez is one of the most well-written rom-com books I’ve read. You’ll fall in love with how real Alexis and Daniel’s love story is. Not to mention, you’ll likely read it in a day.

  • “The Husbands” by Chandler Baker

    "The Husbands" by Chandler Baker
    Amazon

    Meet my most-recommended book ever: “The Husbands” by Chandler Baker. There’s something about a suburban drama that just gets me, and this one was like a satire but a fiction tale to its core. Not to mention, it allows you to see things from the perspective of neighbors and living in close quarters.

  • “The Housemaid” by Frieda McFadden

    "The Housemaid" by Frieda McFadden
    Amazon

    I’m a firm believer that “The Housemaid” by Frieda McFadden is a book everyone should read. It’s not scary but, instead, is completely eerie and suspenseful. It’s about — you guessed it — a housemaid, but you won’t realize what she’s capable of until she’s indoors…

  • “Bye, Baby” by Carola Lovering

    "Bye, Baby" by Carola Lovering
    Amazon

    “Bye, Baby” by Carola Lovering is one of my favorite books I’ve completed recently and suspenseful to its core. It dives deep into female friendships, toxicity, obsession and urban living. The attention to details and how it comes full picture at times is impeccable, and it’s a title I’ve been recommending all the time this month.

  • “Shark Heart” by Emily Habeck

    "Shark Heart" by Emily Habeck
    Amazon

    Without a doubt, “Shark Heart” by Emily Habeck is one of the most unique and beautifully written books Iv’e read. It’s quite an emotional ride and, truly, would never have thought an unorthodox novel about a human man transforming into a shark would be moving but the words and overall storyline infused with love, grief and loss will hit you deeply.

  • “Glossy” by Marisa Meltzer

    "Glossy" by Marisa Meltzer
    Amazon

    As a beauty lover who’s reviewed all of Glossier, it’s coming at no surprise that “Glossy” by Marisa Meltzer is one of my favorite books. I found myself taking notes throughout most pages and thought, “wow, this was made for me” on multiple occasions. If you want to know the secrets behind this beauty empire, this less-than-$20 title is yours for the taking.

  • “The Chateau” by Jaclyn Goldis

    "The Chateau" by Jaclyn Goldis
    Amazon

    For a thriller that I’d recommend to just about anyone, “The Chateau” by Jaclyn Goldis is spicy — a savory book you’ll crave each time you finish a new chapter. It’s about a group of besties who vacation to the French Riviera but, as always, nothing is at it seems. Goldis’ knack for keeping the reader on their toes is incredible, too.

  • “The Fury” by Alex Michaelides

    "The Fury" by Alex Michaelides
    Amazon

    “The Fury” by Alex Michaelides isn’t your typical thriller. In fact, that’s how the first-person protagonist initially mentions in the first chapter. When a vacation to a luxurious Greek island goes wrong, everyone’s a suspect. But, there’s a deeper layer to how it all plays out. Overall, it was absolutely brilliant.
