I was recently recommended this book, and thought id nominate it here to see if a whole group wanted to read it with me so we could talk about it? Our Neverland
I couldn't find a summary of it on goodreads but found it on Amazon.
Finley is a shy, inexperienced small-town dreamer, who moves from Winkelman Arizona, a town made up of barely 350 people to work at a global advertising firm in Seattle. Not only is this his dream job, but an opportunity for him to stand on his own feet away from his friends and family. When Finley makes the decision to move without the support of his single mother, it leaves their relationship strained, adding more pressure on Finley to prove that he is more than the small-town life he’s leaving behind.
Through one of his colleagues, Finley is introduced into an existing social circle at work. Leading to a chemistry filled introduction with a girl named Skyla. Finley is immediately captivated by her forward and flirtatious, quick wit approach. Their natural connection, bringing out a confidence in Finley that he didn't know existed. But Skyla isn’t everything she seems; she’s keeping a few secrets. As Sky and Fin embark on a roller-coaster of a relationship he starts to find everything in his new city life daunting. The people, the social scene and most importantly the complicated, emotional world Sky is pulling him into.
As Finley finds himself struggling with the dynamics of work, friends, tense family relationships and falling in love more and more. He tries to juggle what he feels, wants, and thinks is right, leading to him making decisions that impact him and those around him more than he could have anticipated.

I'm already happy with at least two of these, so nominate nothing. As it is, it's going to be a tough choice for me!
I would like to nomitate The Twyford Code by Janice Hallet.

Additional tips -
Please use a book link, if possible. If it's not possible, please include the author's name. I want to make sure I include the correct books! You can add a synopsis from the books Goodread's page, if you like, but it is not necessary.
Directions to add a book link:
This can only be done when online and not when using an app.
When typing in the text box, on top of the box there is a link that says "add book/author". Click on that and a new box will appear. Type your book name in the space provided and click on "search". When you see your book, click the "add" button to the right of it.
To add a link that just has the book name, you can click "link" at the bottom of the "add book/author" box. The link is the automatic setting. To add a book cover, click on "cover" at the bottom left.
