I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue - a woman by accident gains access to everyone’s emails in her workplace.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman - a not sociable young woman learns to make friends at work and beyond
The Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards by Jessica Waite - a widow finds out some unpleasant things after her husband passes away but learns to deal
All three were not the cleanest but were all hero journeys of people who were stuck and really rose to the occasion to make the best of it. They are all super non jewish so their “best of it” is not as awesome as a frum life. Each one was a can’t put down, page turner.

Middle grade fiction:
Just read Echo Mountain, by Lauren Wolk, which I absolutely loved.
Continued with Wolf Hollow by the same author. Same gorgeous writing, but I hated how the plot resolved. It does have rave reviews, so YMMV.

I just finished the new Jodi Picoult book, By Any Other Name. It was actually quite fascinating. She made a good case that some of William Shakespeare's plays were actually written by a female playwright named Emilia Bassano who was a marrano Jewess. Be warned that it's not the cleanest book as Emilia led a rather colorful life. The book contrasts her story with that of her modern descendant who is having trouble getting her own plays produced due to her gender.

Gray matters - written by a neurosurgeon. Was quite informative
A fatal inheritance- absolutely loved this book! It’s about Li-Fraumeni Syndrome genetic cancer. Was really really well written and included lots of info. Any similar book recommendations?

two awesome books I read this shabbos:
The Women, by Kirsten Hannah, she is an immensely powerful author with fantastic character development, the book made me cry it was so well written.
The Third Sister-this was recommended by Superwify on a different thread and was really eye-opening, I feel like there is so much jewish history we are unaware of

I’m real curious about her book. Is it very liberal though? Or are you more liberal - no offense - so you were able to enjoy it?

I absolutely loved The Rose Code as well, that’s how I found this one.
I already put The Alice Network on my next read list.

It was the story of her live she really did not write about politics in her book
she wrote about growing up during white flight and had pictures of her class, in Kindergarten it was mixed of black and white kids, by 6th grade it was mostly black kids.
Life in high School, collage, her first job about her fathers struggle with MS and watching him decline. her first job.
How she met her husband, how him being a politician effected there life. About raising her kids in the white house.
Things everyone can relate to, being a daughter, student, wife, mother.
Years ago I read a different Presidents wife life, it was interesting so when saw this one I thought it might be also interesting, and it was.
