An eye-opening social justice story that will leave you seriously doubting America's incarceration system. After reading this book, I would also suggest watching the film for it that was released in 2019.

What is it about books about lying that are so addicting? Four murder suspects, one huge, complicated plot twist. Whodunnit? The book also touches on topics like depression, bullying on social media, and challenging stereotypes. The story takes place in an everyday SoCal high school, which differs drastically from the private island from We Were Liars. After reading this book, check out the sequel, One Of Us is Next !
By Stephanie Perkins
A series of murders targeting high school students. One of the scariest books I've ever read. I don't recommend reading this home alone or at night. I heard they're making a Netflix film adaptation of this book, so read it, and then look forward to the movie!

The murder of five cheerleaders without a clear lead suspect. Why would someone have a vendetta against the cheer squad? Many of the topics discussed in this story could be potentially triggering (domestic abuse, grooming, rape, suicide, and abortion), so that is something to keep in mind before checking this book out. Nevertheless, there are important themes and lessons to be learned from this story. Proceed with caution. If you are a fan of gruesome true crime, this might be the one for you.

A psychological thriller about a patient that never speaks. Her therapist is determined to find out why she shot her husband, but can't do so until this patient starts to talk. This book is difficult to put down once you start it. And you can definitely expect a wild plot twist at the end.
