18 New Page-Turners Our Editors Couldn't Put Down This Year, From Thrillers to Romance Novels

"I loved everything about Writers & Lovers ($19, originally $27): the voice of the central character, the cadence of the story, and how it ends. It's a perfect portrait of a young female artist struggling both with writer's block and romantic relationships, all while dealing with the recent death of her mother. It's funny and wry and gutting and weirdly relatable — and I couldn't put it down." — Aviel Kanter, associate director, Branded Content
