Amanda's Pick
The Cabin at the End of the World
If you’re looking for a book that will leave you staring at the wall afterward questioning absolutely everything, The Cabin at the End of the World is the one. What starts as an isolated getaway quickly turns into a tense, claustrophobic nightmare filled with impossible choices, creeping dread, and the constant feeling that something terrible is just around the corner.
This is one of those books that had me flying through the pages while also needing to stop and process what I had just read. I love stories that leave you questioning everything, and this one absolutely did that for me. If you’re into psychological horror, morally complicated characters, and endings that stay with you long after the final page, this is one I’ll always recommend.
American Fantasy
Reading American Fantasy felt a little like getting swept into a glittery midlife spiral in the absolute best way possible. It’s sharp, funny, nostalgic, and full of chaotic energy, following a woman who starts questioning who she is, who she used to be, and what parts of herself she still wants to hold onto. Add in a longtime boy band obsession and a healthy amount of emotional unraveling, and I was completely hooked.
What I loved most about this book is how honestly it explores getting older, reinventing yourself, and realizing your life may not look the way you imagined it would — while still finding joy in the mess of it all. It’s clever, dramatic, heartfelt, and the kind of story that makes you laugh one minute and stare into space reflecting on your own life the next.
