Since She's Been Gone by Sagit SchwartzRead about the other entries on the list.
Sagit Schwart’s thriller is a nuanced roller-coaster—high-stakes, high-energy, but with a sensitive approach to its subject matter. Protagonist Beatrice “Beans” Bennett lost her mother when she was only 15. Now decades older, she’s a clinical psychologist, one who uses her own experiences in eating-disorder recovery to better care for her patients. But when her latest patient informs Beans her mother is very much still alive—oh, and wrapped up in a Big Pharma scandal—Beans must reconcile her own mental health with her mother’s secret history. Told via dual timelines between Los Angeles and New York, this debut is a captivating feat.
