A few years have gone by since I was required to read this biography for a high school English class, but the images that Elie Wiesel painted in my mind are still vivid. The firsthand account of Wiesel’s life in a concentration camp is both heartbreaking and eye-opening.

What if you knew the man you were going to marry when you were 6 years old? And not only did you meet him while he was in the nude, but he was already a grown man visiting you from the future? This sounds impossible, but in the Time Traveler’s Wife this is the premise of Clare and Henry’s addicting love story. Each character has their own flaws that humanize them and that makes them seem like someone you actually know despite their odd circumstances. A fun read.
