This is the perfect read for the final days of summer. Delia Owens' debut novel has romance and mystery told against the lush setting of coastal North Carolina. Kya Clark's family has deserted her one by one, forcing her to live on her own at a very young age. While fending for herself, she learns to "read" the flora and fauna of the shore even though she only spent one day in school. Ostracized by almost everyone in the nearby town, Kya, known as The Marsh Girl, eventually forms a relationship with two young men, only to learn that humans are the least reliable life form in nature.
Many of us are fans of tightly written psychological thrillers. Mr. Michealides shows he is a master of the genre. Alicia Berenson has it all-- a good career, great husband, and lovely home-- so why did she shoot her husband in the face 5 times and never say a word after the incident? Years later, psychotherapist Theo Faber gets a job at the psychiatric hospital she was sentenced to in the hopes of getting her to speak again. Told in dueling first person narratives, you won't want to put this one down.

In the wake of the bestseller Hillbilly Elegy, there is an opening for others to tell their story of rising from meager beginnings to great heights. With acute insight, Ms. Westover writes a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes. Mr. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, says: "Educated shines a light on a part of our country that we too often overlook. Tara Westover's powerful tale--of trying to find a place for herself in the world, without losing her connection to her family or her beloved home--deserves to be widely read."
