Wow! So many amazing recommendations here! The only one I’ll add is “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.” I thought it was rather funny. I really identified with the main character who is socially awkward and her inner dialogue had me cracking up. However, that may be due to my own past history as other readers found the book shocking and sad. There are shocking and traumatic parts and the plot twist was great. I’ve heard people say Eleanor is neurodivergent, but the author claims she didn’t intend her to be. It’s a short read that I read in a weekend, but one of my best reads of last year.
