Looking for a very specific type of book recommendation— my mom, sister in law, and I always read a book together on our annual beach trip, and we have no ideas for this year!
We prefer a fiction book with some substance but definitely not too dark or depressing. While I am an avid fantasy reader, my mom and SIL are not, so let’s avoid those. We aren’t afraid of a tearjerker but my mom’s sister just passed of cancer so let’s avoid any about cancer please. Other than that, we aren’t super particular about genre. The main thing is we want to feel really pulled into the story and get invested and have something to talk about after we all finish it.
We liked The Fault in Our Stars (8/10), The Nightingale (8/10), Where the Crawdads Sing (6/10), and The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society (6/10), just to give you some idea.
I’m very grateful for any and all suggestions! Thank you!!!
