A Little Life
Hanya Yanagihara
A brutal, beautiful, devastating novel about four friends and the trauma one of them carries. Be warned it's a lot — I sobbed. Not for everyone but I couldn't shake it.
The Original Daughter
Jemimah Wei
A Singapore-set debut about two sisters, fierce ambition, and a betrayal that blows the family apart. Emotionally huge — I can see why it became a book club favorite.
★ 5Unlikely Animals
Annie Hartnett
A young woman comes home to care for her dying father, narrated by the town's cemetery dead. Odd, tender, and full of heart.
