I read a total of 12 five-star books in 2023 and if I had to pick my favorites, I think it would be a three-way tie between Wellness, Shark Heart and A Fever in the Heartland. I also had many, many honorable mentions that came in around 4.5 stars. If you are looking for your next great read, you cannot go wrong with any of these!
