Top 5 Fiction Books To Be Released On August 2024

People's ability to comprehend and respond psychologically to other people and social circumstances is somewhat enhanced by reading fiction. And that was, for the most part, after only one story. Research suggests that dedicating thirty minutes each day to reading a book might lead to a brighter and healthier mind, which in turn can predict a 20% decreased risk of death around ten years later.

The fiction books listed below are scheduled for publication in August 2024:

1. Five-Star Stranger by Kat Tang

A "Rental Stranger," a companion hired under several identities, blurs the boundaries between personal and professional in unexpected new ways in Kat Tang's gripping and emotional debut.
