Sharp Objects

Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects is coming to the small screen this summer. It follows a young reporter Camille who travels to her hometown following the murders of two pre-teens. As she tries to get to the bottom of this story, she realizes she first has to fight her own demons from her past.

The Boat People

Sharon Bala’s debut novel The Boat People was a finalist for the 2018 Amazon.ca First Novel Award. It is inspired by a real story of a ship which carried a group of Tamil refugees fleeing Sri Lanka at the end of the civil war and they arrived in Canada. It is told from the viewpoint of a refugee, his lawyer and the woman charged with adjudicating his case.

Law Girl’s Bump in the Road

Author Leia London (the pen name of Jasmine Daya) brings to life a story of a young woman who is ready to embark on her career as she is almost done with her law school in Law Girl’s Bump in the Road. However, on an annual school trip she discovers that she is pregnant and unsure of how to respond to this, let alone tell her husband. Marriage and motherhood are dealt in a new way in this novel.

The Outsider

Stephen King’s chilling novel The Outsider follows the investigation into the death of an 11-year-old boy and the evidence points to a popular citizen, who’s a teacher and father of two. As the investigation expands, horrifying answers are revealed.

My So-Called Bollywood Life

This novel by Nisha Sharma is a hilarious take from a very filmi writer and will appeal to the desis who enjoy a slice of Bollywood every now and then. It follows high school senior, Vineeta “Winnie” Mehta, who is dumped by her classmate Raj. With the help of Shah Rukh Khan (yes, the King of hearts), who gives her life advice in her dreams, she finds her way to happiness.

Vox
In the era of the #MeToo movement comes a strong and though-provoking book sent in the United States. Vox follows a time where the population is silenced and women are only allowed to speak a hundred words per day. And this is just the beginning. So how does one use her 100 words to be heard?
