If you are looking for books like The Midnight Library, where characters see how their decisions can change the trajectory of their life. Very Dickensian.

   

The Four Winds was Kristin Hannah’s bestseller in 2021. For more historical fiction set in and around the Dust Bowl try these.

 

Our Greenwich Reads Together 2021 Selection, Deacon King Kong, became of our most popular titles of the year. Look no further for similar titles with humor and tight-knit communities.

 

The Vanishing Half followed the lives of two sisters while focusing on racial tensions and divided families. Here are some books with similar themes.

   

Quirky characters and a feel-good story are what come to mind after reading Fredrick Backman’s Anxious People. Here are some other titles that have that same tone.

   

When everything you know to be true is a lie, just like in The Last Thing He Told Me.

 

For mysterious reads set in remote locations…reminiscent of The Guest List by Lucy Foley.

   

If you liked The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, you might also like the classic, The Picture of Dorian Gray. These other books also include the Faustian bargain trope.

 

For rich family histories and secrets unraveling, similar to Malibu Rising.

     

You might want to save these titles for the beach, although it is fun to enjoy the warmth and sun of these love stories while it’s cold and snowing outside. For those that enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation.
