American Dirt Hardcover
You want the book that hijacks your whole weekend? This is it. American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins opens with a massacre at a family cookout in Acapulco, and from page one you're running alongside Lydia and her little boy Luca with a cartel at your heels. It reads like a thriller but it lands like a gut-punch about a mother who'll do anything to keep her kid alive. Grab it as a gift for the friend who says they "don't really read" and watch them text you at 1am furious that you ruined their sleep.
