★★★★☆ 11 long years after Defending Jacob, Landay returns with another family-based mystery focused on the disappearance of a woman in 1975.

★★★★★ A sometimes dark exploration of a world where humans and sentient machines coexist, balanced by Klune's trademark humor and heart.

★★☆☆☆ A disjointed mess of a novel about a young woman growing up during Prohibition in rural Virginia. I wanted this to be so much better.

★★★★☆ A distraught mother tries to solve the disappearance of her son a year later, only to realize the most likely suspect might be her.

★★★★☆ Zamora's memoir of immigrating from El Salvador to the U.S. as a 9-year-old is compelling but lacks some deeper emotional connections.

★★★★☆ The book that launched Emily Henry's romance writing career! Despite a few clunky moments, Beach Read checks all of the romance boxes.

★★★★☆ Napolitano once again tugs at heartstrings by creating memorable characters who share moments of happiness amid plenty of tragedy.

★★★☆☆ Another thriller from Alex North, whose previous novels I enjoyed. This one was decent, but ultimately missed the mark a bit for me.
