Amanda:
A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Anna Quindlen
In this treasure of a book, Anna Quindlen, the bestselling novelist and columnist, reflects on what it takes to “get a life”—to live deeply every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days.

Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Giuffre
I’ve been on a 5 star book roll! Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice by Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans was a 4.5 star too. All of these were great on audio!

Remain by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan
The king of romance with the king of modern-day horror and suspense??? Hear me out…
These two legends in their own fields got together and said, “Hey, want to collaborate?” The result is Remain: A supernatural love story. When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend’s summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia’s deathbed revelation—that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family—sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical and controlled world.

I See You’ve Called in Dead by John Kenney
I recently stumbled upon this one by pure chance. The basic premise- a middle aged failed obituary writer learns to live.
