63. After You, Jojo Moyes

How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living? 

Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can’t help but feel she’s right back where she started. 

Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. Which is how she ends up in a church basement with the members of the Moving On support group, who share insights, laughter, frustrations, and terrible cookies. They will also lead her to the strong, capable Sam Fielding—the paramedic, whose business is life and death, and the one man who might be able to understand her. Then a figure from Will’s past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future...

For Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. But here Jojo Moyes gives us two families, as real as our own, whose joys and sorrows will touch you deeply, and where both changes and surprises await.

And no one knows who to believe...

61. A Contadora de Histórias, Jodi Picoult

528 Páginas

Sage Singer é padeira de profissão. Trabalha de noite, a preparar o pão e os bolos para o dia seguinte, tentando fugir a uma realidade de solidão, a más memórias e à sombra da morte da mãe. Quando Josef Weber, um velhote que faz parte do grupo de apoio de Sage, começa a passar pela padaria, os dois forjam uma amizade improvável. Apesar das diferenças, veem um no outro as cicatrizes que mais ninguém consegue ver. 

Tudo muda no dia em que Josef confessa um segredo vergonhoso há muito escondido e pede a Sage um favor extraordinário. Se ela disser que sim, irá enfrentar não só as repercussões morais do seu ato, como também potenciais repercussões legais. Agora que a integridade do amigo mais chegado que alguma vez teve está envolta numa névoa, Sage começa a questionar os seus pressupostos e as expectativas em torno da sua vida e da sua família.

60. Not My Father's Son, Alan Cumming

In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career.

A beloved star of stage, television, and film, Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood.

When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father. 

With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as a film, television, and theater star. At times suspenseful, deeply moving, and wickedly funny, Not My Father’s Son will make readers laugh even as it breaks their hearts.

59. The Good Girl, Mary Kubica

"I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she's scared. But I will."

When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia's mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.
