Middlesex: A Novel (Oprah's Book Club)
If you like dark, twisty “can’t-put-it-down” stories, this one delivers. It follows a woman who built a perfect-looking life while hiding a past that’s way messier than she lets on. The writing is sharp, the tension is constant, and the twists actual...

You Are a Badass: Stop Doubting Greatness
