The Mother's Promise by Sally Hepworth
Then She was Gone by Lisa Jewell
The Secrets she Keeps by Michael Robotham
The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley (and its prequel, The War that Saved my Life, which I read in 2017. They're middle grade, but I loved them).

Almost Perfect by Dianne Blacklock
The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand
The Other Wife by Michael Robotham
The Suspect by Michael Robotham

You by Caroline Kepnes -- aside, has anyone who's also read this, seen the Netflix show? I'm wondering if it's worth watching having already read the book.
Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
After You by Jojo Moyes
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
All Stories are Love Stories by Elizabeth Percer

Spudd - I definitely suggest watching You anyway. I tend not to remember books so that might help me but the whole family is enjoying the series.

Rather late to this party, but I wanna play anyway. These are my 4s & 5s; the 5s have the * in front.
