that book an unwanted guest by sherry lupina that one also takes place during a snowstorm

we also have gavin from the bromance book club who is a professional baseball player so like that's a pretty cool job

i had assumed when i read this book that the clown thing was gonna be supernatural but no it's people dressed as clowns and it's like slasher like this book is 100 a slasher

i also recently read the dating plan and this one is really great because it involves fake fiancees and fake dating

it's just really entertaining and they have really great banter and it's really like flirty and kind of provocative in the same way that the hating game is so i really enjoyed this one

i think this message is like so important in this book that i would want to see it made into a movie and i would trust a24 to do something [ __ ] beautiful and stunning with this

one of my favorite thrillers that kind of revolve around this inheritance is he started it by samantha downing

home before dark is one of those books where like you think you've seen the twist and then you think you know the twist and then you see the twist and then there's another twist and another twist and then your brain is just spinning and yeah it's a great time

some of my favorites that i've read about personally are in if only i could tell you by hannah beckerman

in five years by rebecca surly this book especially has immaculate new york vibes

this is definitely my favorite book that deals with this subject matter and i'll be honest the subject matter isn't something that i read super often in books but this is definitely one of my all-time favorites

this one explores more of like the complications of like a mother-daughter relationship and how you might not always vibe together and click together and how complicated those relationships can be and it's really interesting and really beautiful

i also think little women has one of the best mother-daughter relationships that i've ever read about

long bright river by liz moore is a very beautiful slow burn mystery and there's actually a really good twist in this book that i didn't see coming

this book is also like it follows these two sisters who grew up in like the 1960s i want to say and we just kind of get to follow throughout their lives what happens to them as well this one's also kind of multi-generational

i don't know if the entire book is set in the summer but i read this in the summer and i just had the best time with it

night of the mannequins by stephen graham jones it's really freaking short and it's really amazing

this book is a thriller and it literally takes place during a blizzard and it's all in one night and it's just like the most claustrophobic intense amazing book

she has two gay uncles that she works with all the time on her broadway show and like they're like a huge part of her life like they're pretty much parent figures to her

then of course we have the roommate by rosie dannon and this one is also about you guessed it roommates

this one is especially beautiful because both of these characters had some really traumatic things happen to them in their lives when they were younger so they are in their 20s but they read like they're even older a little bit just because of all the life experience they've been through already up to this point and this is just one of my favorite romances of all time

this is another one where the characters are talking to each other online and they're also kind of seeing each other in real life and they don't know that they're talking to each other online because it's like an anonymous thing so both of these books have that i love this trope in both of these books

danny from take a hint danny brown she's an english professor so like that's a pretty cool job

i just had so much fun with this one the hate to love vibes are so real and i love that it takes place in los angeles it's just a great vibe overall

as far as like a horror novel goes with cozy small town vibes i would say the bright lamps by john fram because this one takes place in a small town in texas and i don't know if it's necessarily cozy but it's definitely small town vibes

this is just like one of the most goddamn beautiful romances i've ever read in my whole life like i seriously just adore this book so hard

we have a gay couple in this book with a daughter who they adopted

just this like beautiful slow burning story

following this main character who's gay and he's born in ireland in the 1950s and it's kind of about like his upbringing in his whole life and both of these books are fabulous

some of my personal favorite books that take place in new york city and have the most new york city vibes as well in my opinion is most of the invisible life of addy larue this book doesn't all take place in new york but the parts that do wow very new york vibes

i always recommend to people that are looking for something like black mirror vibes because it's so black mirror vibes because it's like a thriller novel but it's also kind of sci-fi

this is definitely one of the scariest books that i've ever read and it's one of the only books that i had to like shut off at night because it was freaking me out

i would also say the shining for this

two of my favorite thrillers that have like a real focus on psychology are the silent patient because this one is following this guy theo who's a criminal psychotherapist

both of these books are fabulous and they're both gay and set in a different time period

my obvious like go-to answer for this is the unhoneymooners by christina lauren because this is one of my favorite books of all time and it involves kind of like a fake dating fake marriage trope thing

it's definitely like multi-generational because we get the story of the sisters but then we also get the story of like their families and in the future and it's just freaking beautiful and stunning

this book is such an exceptional story about a mother and daughter and how far a mother would be willing to go to do anything for her daughter it's exceptional and beautiful

this one is a thriller that takes place during like a summer camp so it's very summer vibes very campy vibes

this one follows these two frat brothers who are running to be president of their frat house and they don't know that they're secretly talking to each other online and it's romantic and so cute

something i've always loved about we are the ants is the fact that we're following a gay main character but not once ever is his sexuality kind of brought up and used in the storyline in any way

this one is just like the most coziest vibe of a kind of like sci-fi book where this little girl is claiming that she's from another planet or like another galaxy or something

pretty recently written in the stars also has fake dating and it's female so it's fantastic all around but i love all three of these books

one young little contemporary that i think has really good cozy small town vibes is you should see me in a crown
