My friends : a novel by Fredrik Backman
Four teenagers form a deep friendship that offers them refuge from troubled home lives and inspires the creation of a mysterious painting. Twenty-five years later, Louisa, a young artist, inherits the artwork and sets out on a journey to uncover its origin. As she pieces together the story behind the painting and its creators--Joar, Ted, Ali, and the reclusive artist--Louisa discovers not only their lasting impact on one another but also how art and connection can change lives. Blending humor and emotional depth, Backman explores themes of friendship, healing, and self-discovery.
The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware
When the invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann arrives, it's like the answer to a prayer. Lo Blacklock is ready to reestablish her journalism career, and she hopes that she can snag an interview with Marcus. Unfortunately, he proves to be difficult to pin down. When Lo gets a late-night call asking her to come to Marcus's hotel room, she's greeted by a woman claiming to be Marcus's mistress, and in life-or-death jeopardy. What follows is a cat-and-mouse pursuit across Europe, forcing Lo to ask herself just how much she's willing to sacrifice to save this woman ... and if she can even trust her?
