Me and a couple of friends (we are all in our early twenties) started a book club a couple of weeks ago and are looking for interesting book recommendations. Especially a book with unexpected plot twists would be interesting during discussions.
We usually read books in the mystery or fantasy genre, but we are open for all types of recommendations!
I look forward to your recommendations!

“Forest Of Hands and Teeth” by Carrie Ryan
None of This is True by Lisa Jewell would be my number one rec. It would be great to discuss theories at the end of the book.
