‎Ruth Mancini’s The Day I Lost You is a taut, emotionally charged psychological thriller that explores motherhood, grief, and the thin line between truth and delusion. It’s the kind of novel that keeps you second-guessing every chapter, and just when you think you’ve figured it out, you haven’t.

‎Will Dean’s Adrift is an emotional gut punching novel. It drags you through sadness, frustration, anger, shock, and leaves you teary-eyed by the final page. I was completely wrapped up in Peggy and Samson’s lives, silently rooting for them to find freedom, safety, and love without control. It’s deeply moving, often painful, and, at its core, incredibly powerful.

‎Set against the fear-soaked backdrop of late-1970s Yorkshire, The List of Suspicious Things is a tender, funny, and quietly heartbreaking coming-of-age mystery that shines a light on innocence lost amid real-world terror. It’s hard to believe this is Jennie Godfrey’s debut because it reads with the confidence of a writer who deeply understands both the human heart and the weight of history.
