Sympathy is an electrifying debut novel of obsessive love, family secrets, and the dangers of living our lives online Alice Hare has become fixated on Mizuko Himura, a Japanese writer whom Alice believes is her “Internet twin.” What seems to Mizuko like a chance encounter with Alice is anything but—after all, in the age of connectivity, nothing is coincidence. Their subsequent relationship is doomed from the outset, exposing a tangle of lies and sexual encounters as three families collide across the globe, and the most ancient of questions—where do we come from?—is answered just by searching online. One of the best ways for a book to win me over is with a killer plot twist. I love feeling shocked, then going back a few pages to make sure I read that last bit correctly, then getting to the end of the book and wanting to flip it over and start at the beginning again. I want books to surprise me. I love being deceived. I love it when a book makes me want to run up to the first person I can find and say, “Holy crap, you need to read this book RIGHT NOW.” Of course, not every plot twist is as dramatic as this, but I love it when an author does a nifty bit of sleight-of-hand magic. In fact, I love it so much I put together a list of 100 books with plot twists. Some are insanely huge, some are smaller, but all are (hopefully) surprising. Don’t worry though…I won’t spoil any of these books with plot twists for you! 1. 32 Candles – Ernessa T.
