1. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
Lee’s 2017 sophomore novel, a National Book Award finalist that inspired an Apple TV+ series, is a saga of family, migration, and belonging. Beginning in the early 20th century during Japan’s annexation of Korea, the story follows one Korean family through seven decades, with the Japanese game of pachinko acting as an apt metaphor for the many ways the characters’ own lives are out of their control.
Pachinko is an instant modern classic that’s as sweeping as it is intimate, and a moving ode to the Korean diaspora.
2. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
This richly drawn family drama and Oprah’s Book Club pick is a loose reimagining of Little Women, exploring found family, sisterhood, and the heart-wrenching choices that shape our lives.
Unmoored and deeply affected by his dysfunctional childhood, William Waters finds the family he never had when he marries Julia, one of four tight-knit Padavano sisters. After William’s trauma begins to affect his marriage, the ultimate betrayal permanently alters the Padavano clan in ways that reverberate across decades and generations.
3. Less by Andrew Sean Greer
What’s a struggling gay author to do when his latest manuscript is rejected, his ex is about to marry another man, and his 50th birthday approaches? For Arthur Less, the answer is to accept a series of obscure writing engagements and embark on a globe-trotting exploit filled with misadventures, memories, and self-reflection.
Funny and warm, clever and slightly meta, Greer’s satirical novel won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Follow it up with the sequel, Less is Lost.
4. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Yanagihara’s National Book Award and Man Booker Prize finalist follows four adult friends in New York City, tracing their ambitious careers and attempts to support one another through the highs and lows. At the center of the story is Jude, a brilliant lawyer whose painful past shapes the course of his life and those around him.
Yanagihara’s 2015 novel is a devastating exploration of the lasting effects of childhood trauma, but also a beautiful portrait of male friendships and found family. Keep the tissues close as you dive into this tour de force, because gut-wrenching is an understatement.
5. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant chemist — but she’s also a woman. And since it’s the 1950s, her ambitions won’t fly with her male colleagues. With her scientific career stalled and a child to support, Elizabeth agrees to host a cooking show, where she not only teaches housewives how to make supper, but also empowers them to think beyond societal expectations.
Garmus’ witty debut — a welcomed take-down of the patriarchy hailed by many as the best book of 2022 — inspired an Apple TV+ series starring Brie Larson.
6. Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Rock band The Six topped the charts in the 1970s thanks to their electrifying frontwoman, Daisy Jones. But at the peak of their fame, they suddenly disbanded, leaving fans to wonder why — until now.
Told as an oral history, this novel by Jenkins Reid (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) unravels the cracks and conflicts that tore the band apart. Loosely based on the dissolution of Fleetwood Mac, Daisy Jones & The Six is a story of loyalty, passion, and the cost of fame — with plenty of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll along the way. This fan-favorite novel inspired an Amazon Original series adaptation starring Riley Keough.
7. Happy Place by Emily Henry
From the beloved author of Beach Read and The People We Meet on Vacation comes a story of second-chance romance, the sustaining power of friendship, and the freedom experienced by shaking off outside expectations. Harriet and Wyn were once the couple everyone admired — until they secretly called it quits. Now, they must fake their romance for one last week together with their closest friends in Maine. Can they keep up the act — and is their love even an act at all?
8. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
Hazelwood is the queen of STEM romances, using her background as a neuroscientist to create intelligent, ambitious heroines. Her debut, The Love Hypothesis, is no exception.
Biology Ph.D. candidate Olive Smith never believed in lasting relationships, but when a little white lie leads her to fake-date misunderstood professor Adam Carlsen, sparks fly in ways she never expected. This witty and heartwarming tale is full of love, science, and all the unexpected ways they collide and coalesce.
9. A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams
Ricki Wilde, the black sheep of her high-powered Atlanta family, strikes out on her own in Harlem, New York as a talented florist. Before long, she meets a mysterious traveling musician who permanently alters her life and what she believes about destiny and true love.
Williams’ love story is sprinkled with magical realism and backdropped by the Harlem Renaissance. The romance is swoon-worthy and the historical elements illuminating, making A Love Song for Ricki Wilde as enchanting as it is thought-provoking.
10. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Noemí Taboada is pulled from the glam and comfort of her socialite world in 1950s Mexico City when her recently married cousin writes a desperate plea for help from her husband’s countryside estate. When Noemí arrives at High Place, no one feels quite trustworthy — or even sane.
With a chilling atmosphere and steadily building dread, Moreno-Garcia’s pitch-perfect Gothic horror tale packs elements of Rebecca, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and Crimson Peak, united with commentary on racism and colonialism. Mexican Gothic won the 2021 Locus Award for Best Horror Novel and was named among TIME’s 100 Best Mystery and Thriller books of all time.
11. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
Black kicks off her gripping Folk of the Air series with The Cruel Prince, a story of deception, power, and ambition in the treacherous world of Faerie. When mortal girl Jude is taken to live in the High Court of Faerie, she’s determined to prove she belongs — despite the cruelty of the fey prince, Cardan, and the dangers lurking in their realm. With its sharp twists, courtly intrigue, and simmering enemies-to-lovers tension, this dark and immersive tale is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas’ ACOTAR series.
12. One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
Born from a mystical childhood illness, an enigmatic spirit known as The Nightmare lives inside Elspeth Spindle’s head. With her kingdom in danger from an invasive mist, Elspeth must work alongside a mysterious highwayman to restore safety and stability to the land. But The Nightmare is only getting stronger by the day.
Gillig’s atmospheric debut is a Gothic-style fantasy filled with magical curses, romance, and a heroine determined to control the monster inside her — lest she become a monster herself. The Shepherd King series continues with Two Twisted Crowns.
13. Thicker Than Water by Kerry Washington
Beginning with an intriguing hint of a family revelation that rocked her world, Washington traces her journey from high-achieving young girl to acclaimed actress and political activist. This memoir goes far deeper than a celebrity tell-all, exploring the Scandal star’s search for authenticity and true belonging. Thicker Than Water is an inspiration not only for fans, but also for any of us looking for connection and self-realization.
14. Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
Grann’s true crime novel reads like a chilling thriller, which makes it all the more horrifying. Greed, racism, and heartbreak collided in the 1920s when members of the Osage Nation were systematically killed off so others could take control of their vast wealth. Grann spares no gruesome detail in this account of an unbelievable conspiracy that ran all the way up the chain to Washington and eventually helped birth the FBI.
Killers of the Flower Moon inspired Martin Scorsese’s 2023 film adaptation, which garnered 10 Academy Award nominations and features a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro.
15. How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan
In this eye-opening exploration, author, journalist, and UC Berkeley professor Pollan (The Botany of Desire) dives into the science and history of psychedelics and their potential to transform our minds. Through cutting-edge research and personal exploration, Pollan examines how substances like LSD and psilocybin (the “magic” behind magic mushrooms) could revolutionize the way we treat mental health, understand consciousness, and experience the world.
Rooted in open-minded curiosity, How to Change Your Mind challenges stereotypes surrounding psychedelics and invites readers to reconsider the possibilities these drugs offer in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and beyond.
16. The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
According to Haidt, young people are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis and it’s inextricably linked to smartphones and social media. In this equally fascinating and horrifying read, the acclaimed social psychologist paints a not-so-pretty picture of the direction we’re headed in, which includes skyrocketing rates of childhood depression and anxiety, that can only be reversed if communities and parents deal with the screentime epidemic head on.
17. Atomic Habits by James Clear
If you’ve ever tried to overhaul your life but felt overwhelmed by the challenge, add this book to your TBR. Using his “Four Laws of Behavioral Change,” Clear asserts that building small, approachable habits is the key to making big changes. Packed with immediately actionable steps, this bestselling guide is your roadmap to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled you.
18. Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg
Communication isn’t just about exchanging ideas — it’s how we connect with others. Duhigg (The Power of Habit) lays the groundwork for those of us who want to boost our personal and professional lives through effective communication. From active listening to identifying the type of conversation we’re having (practical, emotional, or social), these skills are the key to ensuring we’re connecting deeply, hearing correctly, and being heard in return.
19. Start With Why by Simon Sinek
Whether you’re in business or politics, the nonprofit world or community organizing, Sinek has one simple recommendation to help you succeed: Start with your “why.” Meaning, before you sell people on a product, service, or idea, make sure they understand why you believe in it. Backed by plenty of examples and anecdotes of successful individuals and businesses, Sinek delivers a simple yet profound message that emphasizes the importance of authentic passion and clarity of purpose.
20. Deep Work by Cal Newport
With the constant onslaught of social media notifications, emails, work messages, and more, it’s difficult and rare today to engage in what Newport calls “deep focus.” Like anything else, deep work is a skill that can be mastered but not without practice and dedication. Newport provides a clear and life-changing blueprint to help readers seeking better focus in a busy world.
