Ladies Midnight Swimming Club by Faith Hogan:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Mostly she loved the fact that it made her feel alive in a way that nothing else could.”

Set along the windswept Irish coast, The Ladies’ Midnight Swimming Club is a tender and heartfelt story about loss, healing, and the quiet power of friendship.

Faith Hogan brings together three women at very different stages of life, each carrying pain and uncertainty, and creates something truly beautiful from their shared strength.

This is a story that celebrates the strength of women, the bonds of friendship, and the healing rhythm of the sea. It does touch on emotional subjects and there are moments that may bring tears, but there is also laughter, comfort, and the feeling that things will, in time, be all right.

The Rivals by Jane Pek:

Claudia Lin is back and this time, the lies go deeper, the stakes are higher and the world of digital dating is darker than ever.

The Rivals is Jane Pek’s sharp and smart follow-up to The Verifiers, and it manages to be a gripping mystery, a tech-thriller and a deeply personal story all at once.

A whip-smart literary mystery with queer rep, family drama and a tech conspiracy you’ll want to unravel chapter by chapter.
