Any recommendations for something different to read during downtime?

I usually stick to straightforward romance or drama, but I’m in the mood for something that takes a risk with its storyline—maybe even something that feels a bit forbidden yet still meaningful. Any ideas?

You should check out vacation with my step mom. I read it recently, and it felt like such a change of pace compared to the usual stuff. The premise might sound simple, but once you get into it, the tension and emotions are surprisingly strong. I liked how the family trip setting added realism—it’s a relatable situation, just pushed into more complicated territory. Instead of being just about taboo, it explores how people handle attraction and boundaries when the lines blur. For me, it kept me turning pages because I wanted to see how the characters would navigate those feelings. If you’re looking for something different but still engaging, I’d definitely recommend it.
