Hello! I recently got back into reading fiction after several years away. I’m looking for a few recommendations to keep me hooked!
The book I started with was a random gift over the holidays, The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller. It’s an interesting story, the concept of second chance romance and paranormal haunting is fine – but I’m struggling with the way the main character refuses to communicate or accept help. It’s one of those stories that I feel could be resolved with a few heart-to-heart conversations, but she refuses to have them, and I’m tired of constant vague references to past events that are kept in suspense.
I’m hoping you can recommend a book where characters don’t have any trouble communicating with each other. Whatever their struggle is, they’re working on it together and not hiding from each other. I’m open to various genres – I used to read a lot of fantasy, but would also happily read sci-fi, mystery/thriller, romance, etc. Ideally something that will grab me in the first few chapters and keep me reading.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Becky Chamber’s **The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet** has a woman escaping her past. She hires on with a construction spaceship traveling across space to its next job. Most of the found-family plot consists of interactions between the multi-species crew and incidents that occur along the way.
