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.
