Lissa Evans recommends

Other People's Fun (2025)
Harriet Lane
"Chilling, witty, and unputdownable - a superb revenge drama that peels away the facades of social media."

Shy Creatures (2024)
Clare Chambers
"Shy Creatures reads easily and delightfully and yet is rich with emotional truth, and completely absorbing. I loved it, and didn't want it to end."
