I have read 21 books so far this year and while many of them were very good none of them were five stars. I tend to prefer unsettling books but ones that are upsetting with a purpose.
These are the books I've rated five stars in the past few years:
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
Chouette by Claire Oshetsky
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Rouge by Mona Awad
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
