Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is definitely a novel I would recommend to anyone. I picked it up after hearing it would be a film soon. I read the first few chapters and was instantly hooked. It’s definitely a great read for any student at SRU because the story line is amazing and keeps you on your toes.Just when you think you have everything figured out, Flynn adds another plot twist to take it to a new level. Psychologist students would love it! I especially liked how the chapters alternated from the points of view of the main characters, Nick and Amy. This was a twist in itself---making the reader believe first one, then the other. My advice is to plan a day of reading because you will not want to put the book down.

The Fault in our Stars by John Green is an excellent book, especially for college students. The book is enjoyable and a quick read so it won't take too much time from your studies. The premise is based primarily on two main characters, Hazel and Augustus, who both suffer from cancer. Chapter by chapter, you learn their journeys through their stories. Although the characters are a little younger than most of us at SRU (16 and 17), their difficult lives force them to mature quickly. As a result, the characters are very relatable. The book is filled with ups and downs and keeps your attention. As you live their stories through them, you will constantly be wondering, "What will happen next?" I recommend this inspirational novel (which is now a major motion picture) as your next read.
