2. "Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Yes, I know! It’s a two-for-one deal! It’s not every day you get to read about the rise and fall of a fictional rock band in the 70s with the kind of lyrics that might just inspire your next karaoke performance. Did you hear that? It’s the sound of your friends begging you to stop singing!
3. "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig
Ever wondered what life would be like if you made different choices? This mind-bending book takes you through a library filled with books of alternate lives you could have lived!
