i was sucked in by the reviews too so went in having high hopes.
I read it last year and it took me a while to get into it but it was ok by the end although I don’t get all the hype to be fair.
Read Normal People & honestly felt like the only person who didnt enjoy it at all... Everyone I know has loved it. Recently read American Dirt and loved that.
I’ve just finished What Lies Between Us By John Marrs which was excellent. Haven’t read Passengers yet but will give it a go (have read his others).
Here are the ones I’ve read lately. Yes I’m a geek for keeping a list:

Theres a dvd series of it called case histories featuring Jason Issac as Brodie. Its worth a watch.
I’ve not read that one. Will add it to my list!
Thank you
Get on Gooodreads if you’re not already. Really useful for keeping track of read, want to read etc. Can categorise by genre if you is wish. You can also follow authors, add friends and search for new books x
The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve. The only book of hers I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. I think she’s written 9 in total - Oprah had this one in her book club back in the Nineties, it was also made into a movie,
Im just finished The Silent Patient (that twist?!) and want to start Thirteen. It’s book 4 I believe... do I need to have read the previous three for it to make sense?
Ooh I liked that one too
I keep a list too but I use Good Reads app for mine!
Might have been me (not sure if I made the original recommendation) I have raved about them on here.
You’ll be pleased to learn that they get better and better !
Goodreads is great, I use it all the time as otherwise I forget what I’ve read 
I’ve loved every single Shari Lapena book & also am a fan of Liane Moriarty, although wasn’t as keen on Nine Perfect Strangers as I was on her others. Anything by Kate Atkinson is amazing, literally love her writing so much. Clare Mackintosh writes amazing crime too, I love how she includes her police past with the details on investigations, etc.

I couldn’t get in to nine perfect strangers, same with normal people. I love the sample option on the kindle.Goodreads is great, I use it all the time as otherwise I forget what I’ve read
What did you think of before the coffee gets cold? I think I’d seen this recommended somewhere. The concept sounds fun.i've just finished Before The Coffee Gets Cold - which is a strange Japanese story about a coffee shop that allows you to travel back in time.
Now I'm just starting the Haunting of Hill House, I absolutely loved the Netflix series but I'm aware the book is very different to the series.
I haven't read I Capture The Castle since I was a teenager, and as someone has just mentioned it on this thread I've put it on my Waterstones wishlist for when I do my next big book order

I just finished The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires and I can’t even tell you how much I loved it, I’m actually really sad that I’ve finished it
Ooh I forgot, Friend Request is a great thriller, cannot remember the author though!
I used to keep a list on the notes app on my phone but then decided to actually use GoodReads to keep track of books and I review them too.Goodreads is great, I use it all the time as otherwise I forget what I’ve read
I liked Nine Perfect Strangers but agree it wasn’t as good as her other books. I picked up The Hypnotist’s Love Story (or something like that) so will see what that’s like.
I’m a huge fan of Clare Mackintosh books, so good! After the End was different to her usual but so beautifully written and again drawing on her own experience.
I’ve read the Hypnotist’s Love Story & really liked that, hopefully you will too
I enjoyed Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson, An American Marriage by Tayari Jones recently.
Also enjoy non-fiction, I liked Sapiens, The Good Immigrant, Natives by Akala etc.
oooh I’ve just checked and it’s available to watch on Prime!
sounds like we have v similar taste in books, I could have written this!!Goodreads is great, I use it all the time as otherwise I forget what I’ve read
