We’ve also included links to additional “best books” lists from around the web.
Our Top Picks:
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson -- Jenny Lawson amazingly balances the reality of her mental illness with the hilarity of what it takes to live a furiously happy life. I laughed to the point of tears and (possible) hyperventilation. – Melissa
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson – See our review round-up to see what CPL staff had to say about this thriller.
Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid -- Two alternating realities see a love story unfold from different perspectives and poses the question how much do we control our fate? Hard to put down! – Rosanna
