3. Far From The Tree by Robin Benway
For the person who loves books that are emotional, heartwarming and family-driven. Far From The Tree follows the lives of three adopted siblings who have never met until now. Perfect for fans of This Is Us. The novel was also a finalist in the National Book Awards.
4. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

5. The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
If you loved Gossip Girl, you'll love this book as well. The setting is Manhattan, 2118. A hundred years into the future. Follow the glitzy and glamorous lives of New York's elite, throughout all of their scandals and secrets. Check out the sequel to this as well, The Dazzling Heights.
6. Replica by Lauren Oliver
Replica is a super cool double narrative book. It's called a flip book, because you need to flip the book to read each narrative. Kind of complicated, but totally worth it. You can read both stories simultaneously, or you can read them separately. Either way it's a really interesting and entertaining read.

9. The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson
This is a twisty, horror-ish, romance-ish novel from the Collector Trilogy. The story follows a man, "The Gardener," collects young woman and keeps them in his garden. I can't really delve into it without giving away too much, so that's all I'm going to say about it.
