The Lincoln Highway: A Novel by Amor TowlesRead about the other entries on the list.
This list wouldn’t be complete without one of 2021’s hottest works of fiction. “Set in 1954, [the book follows] four boys on a road trip that turns into a surprising tale of adventure, friendship, and mischief,” says Sophia Lin, Google Search’s general manager of food. “I couldn't put it down—it's an instantly immersive read with rich storytelling, whimsical dialogue, and utter suspense. The ending left me speechless.”
Suzanne Redfearn called The Lincoln Highway "a coming-of-age story set in the fifties ... told in true Towles’s style, full of rich details and fully realized characters."
