Books Like Woman Down

Sarah Naughton narrates this Colleen Hoover thriller with a restless, slightly destabilized quality that suits a protagonist whose grip on reality keeps slipping — there's an edge of performance to the delivery that keeps the unreliable conceit feeling genuinely unnerving across 12 hours. Two picks share her and two more come from Hoover herself, while the bulk of the list holds that same uncomfortable blend of romantic longing and psychological threat.
