Wondering what to read this summer? TikTok has become the ultimate authority, turning books into instant best-sellers. Scroll through #BookTok and you’ll find a black hole of videos of book-fluencers talking about their favorite picks.

Team OTG wants to save you from the endless scroll. That’s why we launched our new Summer Book Club series where we share the hottest books worthy of your beach bag, and introduce you to the interesting authors.

This week’s special guest is New York Times best-selling author, John Searles. His latest thriller, Her Last Affair, is a tense, intricately woven tale of heartbreak, retribution, and redemption. People magazine named it a Best New Book and critics say it's "eerie and captivating with all kind of startling surprises in store."

LISTEN TO THIS SHOW IF:  

• You’re not on TikTok, so you have NO IDEA what to read. 
• You love a good thriller that dares you to put it down. 
• You’re curious about how writers make this crazy stuff up.
• You like to be read to—we convince John to share a racy excerpt!
