You ever read a book and when you finish it, you can’t seem to stop thinking about it? I will just be going about my day and a scene from the book just pops into my brain 🧠

For me, all of these thrillers just had that extra “something” that made them memorable and I can’t recommend them enough! 😮

What book have you read recently that you can’t stop thinking about?

Honestly also one of the best Riley Sager books I have read! 😎

💻 None of This is True by Lisa Jewell - (SG) a gripping tale of dark secrets, murder, and the blurred lines between truth and fiction that will keep them on the edge of their seats until the very end. Also one of the few books I have read that really gives you that eerie, unsettled feeling 😰
