I’m looking for something super specific. I want to read a page turner that isn’t a thriller or sci fi/fantasy or a “chick lit” romance novel. A general fiction novel that has a lot of drama. Books that read like shows like Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, or even Dynasty or Dallas. 😬

Billy Lynn’s Long Half-time Walk might fit for the Friday Night Lights vibe, and Gabrielle Zevin’s books (Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow; or Storied Life of A J Firky) on the more Parenthood side.Oh, and I thought Deacon King Kong was great!
Abraham Verghese wrote two excellent family sagas that I think are page turners – Cutting For Stone and The Covenant Of Water.
The house is on fire by Rachel beanland.
I was so engrossed by this book.
