The Divergent series was a fun quick read.

Also Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson.
About to start Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane (DH enjoyed it).
And I got my smutty historical fiction fix with Philippa Gregory's The White Princess, which was surprisingly entertaining. More in the mode of The Queen's Fool and The Other Boleyn Girl than her more recent, less good ones.
Read all 3 of above, #1 my favorite. Also anything by Tana French, irish mysteries, really rather good!

Where'd you go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple.
A Seattle architect & agoraphobic, who doesn't fit in with the other upper class Boho private school moms, disappears and her husband and teen daughter try to figure out what happened. Funny and hard to put down.

I'm reading this now and like it. I read the Interestings. It took me a couple of minutes to remember what it was about. That's how interesting it was.

Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreigh
A mom tries to figure out if her daughter really jumped off the school roof to her death or was pushed. Told with emails, texts, etc. from both the mom and daughter in the month before she died.

Yes. It's good but not great, IMO. However, I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first half of the book.
I'm the opposite. I started out liking the book a lot and then it got tedious and repetitive for me as I slogged through pages 250 to 450 or so. And I'm a big Meg Wolitzer fan.

I'm about halfway through, and I've enjoyed it.
