I am having probably the worst year to date in terms of lacking 5 star, can't put it down books. I have just not read anything this year that I loved and I am forgetting what it feels like to be obsessed with a book. I've read 3 5-star books this year but they were all nonfiction.
What is your can't put it down 5 star read. Bonus points for literary fiction bc that's my favorite genre, but open to a lot! I'm desperate

My favorite books out of the 26 I’ve read this year are “The Strange Inheritance of Leah Fern,” “The Secret Book of Flora Lea,” and “Remarkably Bright Creatures” (but honestly I’d give the latter 4.5 stars, I just have a full heart when I think about it). I also liked American Dirt – talk about fast paced page turner kind of gripping thing, and Wellness – but I wouldn’t say it’s a page turner.
My latest five-star can’t put it down read was Butter by Asako Yuzuki if you’re looking for new releases, it was such a refreshing and engaging/fun book! And my go to recommendation when someone’s looking for something to get them out of a slump is always The Martian or Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, both are equal parts hilarious and exciting and total page turners, if you’re not against a bit of sci-fi I can (almost) guarantee you’ll be glued to the page!
