What’s the most serious book you’ve read recently?

It's a tie between two books I recently reviewed. Both are chilling in their reality despite being novels.




Little Bee****+ by Chris Cleave

Becoming Abigail***** by Chris Abani







If you read either of them I'd love to know what you think. If you reviewed them please leave a link and I will put it in the post of my review.
