• Killers of a Certain Age

  Raybourn, Deanna,

  Add Killers of a Certain Age to your for later shelf

  "It's about these four retired female assassins and the company they retired from is now tracking them down to kill them. It reminds me of the movie Red (2008)! It's been a fun read so far."

• American Fire

  Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land

• The Three-year Swim Club

  the Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory

  Checkoway, Julie,

  Add The Three-year Swim Club to your for later shelf

  "I found it as read alike for 'Unbroken' and 'Boys in the Boat.' It is a slow, dense read about unlikely athletes. A definite underdog story."

• People Person

  Carty-Williams, Candice, 1989-

  Add People Person to your for later shelf

  "An emotionally-intense family drama with bits of social media/influencer culture, humor, and death. Fans of 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' MUST pick up."
