Leah Konen recommends
Cross My Heart (2025)
Megan Collins
"If Nora Ephron had written your favorite thriller, it would be Cross My Heart. Equal parts spine-tingling and soul-wrenching, Collins' latest unpacks the perils of parasocial relationships and the lies we tell ourselves with devilish wit, sizzling prose and a hair-raiser of a plot. The twists will have your jaw on the floor and your heart beating in time to Rosie's borrowed one. A true pulse-pounder with one question at its core: how far would you go to be with the one you (think you) love?"
Delicate Condition (2023)
Danielle Valentine
"Heartbreakingly visceral, eerie and intense, feeling, with every new turn of the page, what it's like for your body to no longer be your own. A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking."
