Ghosts, Dolly Alderton.

I read this on recommendation from this thread. It was meh. I read the whole thing because I like the idea of reading about a female rock star in her late 30s (living vicariously!) but it was overly sentimental IMO and I really disliked the dad she was supposed to be reconciling with.

Have you tried any Anne Tyler books?

Rom com:
The Float Plan by Trish Doller
Weather Girl by Rachel Solomon (love all of hers but that’s a good one to start with)
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

These might feel like a fit for some aspects of My Brilliant Friend:
Oh Willliam by Elizabeth Strout
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood

Thriller
It Girl by Ruth Ware
Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins (I liked it better than The Wife Upstairs)
The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

The Last Flight

I loved the Unsinkable Greta Jones as did my husband!

Both of these have strong female characters who overcome grief/obstacles to find themselves, but the books don't take themselves too seriously if that makes sense.

Unsinkable Greta Jones

The People We Keep

Please recommend a book for me!
I just randomly read "The Perfect Marriage" and I like that type of "who's done it" books (I liked the Wife Upstairs too!)
I love the My Brilliant Friend series
I dislike: books similar to David Sedaris "Me Talk Pretty One Day."
I enjoy funny chic lit too.

Thank you!
