- Messy Friendships & Fresh Starts in Jenny Jackson’s The Shampoo Effect
I absolutely fell in love with The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson. This book follows Caroline Lash and a close-knit group of friends whose lives become intertwined when she arrives in the small town of Greenhead, Massachusetts.

Beneath the glamour of Old Hollywood lies a mystery that refused to stay buried. The Last Secret of Lily Adams seamlessly blends dual timelines, family secrets, and an unsolved murder into a story that kept me turning the pages. If you enjoy historical fiction with a touch of suspense and unforgettable characters, this is a novel worth adding to your reading list. - Where Are They?
If you’re looking for a thriller that will have you questioning everyone, Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica is one to add to your TBR. With multiple perspectives, shocking twists, and a mystery that unfolds over more than a decade, this novel kept me turning pages late into the night. Read my full review to see why this psychological thriller is one I won’t forget. - Is My Father A Murderer?
This book is packed with suspense, family drama, and nonstop twists that make it incredibly difficult to put down. The Ghostwriter is a perfect read for thriller fans, especially anyone who loves trying to outsmart the author—because this story stays one step ahead of you the entire time. - Surprising Joy

With relatable marriage struggles, sharp humor, and a clever thriller twist, this book kept me guessing the entire time. Fast-paced, entertaining, and wildly cinematic, it’s the kind of story that would translate perfectly to the screen.
