This year's NBA fiction finalists are all SO good, it's tough to pick a favorite.

Have some great read-alikes handy for TV fans!
HBO's series Big Little Lies (based on Liane Moriarty's 2014 mainstream fiction novel) snagged five (!) Emmys, and left viewers buzzing about a possible season 2. While they wait, they may enjoy these two similarly compelling reads — The Party An intense look at the dark side of adolescent identity. Hostility, conflicted desires, and violent impulses lurk beneath the civilized veneer of a "normal" suburban family. Little Fires Everywhere Secrets and lies abound as characters in a wealthy, seemingly picture-perfect neighborhood keep up appearances. But truth always wins out, with sometimes disastrous results.
