“All That’s Left Unsaid” by Tracey Lien
After Ky Tran’s younger brother Denny is murdered inside a busy restaurant, she learns that the police are stumped by the case: a dozen people were at Lucky 8 restaurant when he died, but each of the bystanders claims to have seen nothing. As an antidote to grief and guilt, Ky is determined to track down the witnesses herself. Written by debut author Tracey Lien, “All That’s Left Unsaid” is a deeply emotional novel that demands to be read.
“One” by Jamie Oliver
This incredible title is packed with budget-friendly dishes that you can make any time – from quick dinners your whole family will love (yes, even the picky eaters!) to work-from-home lunches. What makes these recipes even better is that they can all be created with eight ingredients or less and only require one pot, pan, or tray to make! This must-have cookbook is the ONE for you.

As he quickly rose to exciting fame, he found it difficult to resist the weekend-long parties and fair-weather friends that came with the territory.
