The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is non-fiction but reads like a novel, I listened to it on audiobook and it rocked my world

Before We Were Yours - Lisa Wingate. Very interesting story as based on historical findings of questionable adoption practices in the south which lead to today's laws.

This book reminds me of those by Jodi Picoult - well-researched and informative narratives about (sometimes controversial) societal issues. One of my favourites from her is Keeping Faith.
If you haven't read 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes, do put it next on your to-read-list too! A very touching tale and a brave attempt by Moyes to tackle the topic of euthanasia. Moyes' characters are always very real, very relatable, and she has a knack of bringing them to life within the first few chapters. Her characters are also never necessarily good or bad, but very complex characters that have their own internal struggles in spite of what they do - just like any of us.
