Have you read any of these books? Which book from my TBR list should I read next? Did I miss any of your favorite novels? Let me know in the comments below.
I loved Eternal, The Good Left Undone, and All the Ways We Say Goodbye. The Nightingale was excellent but harder to get through for some reason. I found it more upsetting to read. I think those are the only ones I read so far.
