i used to love reading. i could walk into a barnes & noble and point out entire shelves of books that i’ve read. but now everything feels overdone. i don’t want a book about someone that is “figuring their life out amidst chaos, and ran into a perfect stranger that was NOT part of the plan, changing everything”, i don’t want something set 50 years ago, i don’t want sci-fi, or fantasy, and i don’t want “she has it all until XYZ happens”. i want a fiction book with a story that i can get lost in, not one that i can predict the ending of by reading the summary on the cover. please please help me find smth

I used to love reading too but I’ve read all the good books in the world and now there is nothing good left.
What are some examples of books you’ve liked?
Here are some novels I’ve loved:
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Biography of X by Catherine Lacey
The Trees by Percival Everett
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
The Ice Storm by Rick Moody
Run River by Joan Didion
Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa
Hope this helps!
The Nations Rage by Kylian Gates.
Looks like there’s a Kindle free book promotion deal going on for it right now, as it turns out
the Lexi Bennett detective books are great. the first is ‘The girls on chalk hill” and I highly recommend it.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
