Can ao recommend titles or authors? I appreciate the (well) written word and love a good book.
I like drama, action, family, romcom genres. Do not like murder, overwhelmingly sad types.
TYIA!

I’m about to start a Kristin Hannah book…I recently read Molokai by Alan Brennert and really enjoyed it.

I love Sophie kinsella. Shopaholic series.

But also finding Audrey. (That that's about a teen dealing with difficult anxiety so.. it's a bit intense... Not sad.. but it made me cry)

Also my not so perfect life. (What happens when you get a look behind Instagram)

Twenties girl ... her great aunt starts to haunt her to help find her necklaces.

Party crasher ... When she's un-invited to her house cooling she goes back anyways to retrieve a childhood toy and gets stuck.

I owe you one.... After saving a laptop from destruction a favor can add up

I've got your number .... After her phone gets nicked and she finds one in the bin she volunteers to help manage emails while searching for her lost engagement ring


And her other stuff... These I've read the most / most recently

Amor Towles' books are very well written. A bit long but worth it.

Adriana Trigiani

There are 18 books (I think) to keep you busy.
I would start with either The Shoemakers Wife or Big Stone Gap.
One is better than the next!

Liane Moriarty is a great suggestion! I like The Husband's Secret and Big Little Lies.

Taylor Jenkins Reid is also incredible. Malibu Rising and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo are really good, but historical fiction.

Jennifer Weiner too has a lot of well-written rom coms and family stories.

Kristan Higgins - The next best thing, if you only knew, the best man.
I like a bunch of others from her.
