I found *The Great Alone* quite transportive. Some others I tend to recommend in other comments here as well

Cloud Cuckoo Land has three different threads going simultaneously and intermittently. One is a historic fiction taking place during the fall of Constantinople following a young girl on the inside trying to escape, and a young man on the outside conscripted to fight. Then there’s a present day eco terrorist storyline about a bomb planted in a library. Then there’s a SciFi space opera. All three are connected by the Classical era text fragment of the story of the Golden Ass. Before you get bored with one story line it switches to the other and you can’t wait to get back to see what’s happening in each time period.

I just finished [Weyward by Emilia Hart](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127280850-weyward?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=PLb6nnsEHJ&rank=1) in 2 days – unusual for me because I can’t sit for too long and the story really has to grab me. This one did. TW for domestic abuse.
