For me I think it is The Passage -although I am still reading it.
Another favourite was The Help.

LostArt: I just finished Esme Lennox and I loved it! We must have similar tastes so I will look at your other recommends too.

I liked 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' and 'White Tiger' too. I also enjoyed Paul Tordays 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' and 'Girl on the Landing'.

But my favourite read this year was 'Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox'.

I keep picking up 'The Help', but worry it may be a bit too Oprah for me.

'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' was a totally enjoyable read!
I also liked "One Day".

I loved The Help

The pie thing, the boyfriend thing (irrelevant and boring) and the ending all annoyed me.

I did think the whole secret about the pie in The Help was very silly. But apart from that a good read.

Liked the first three quarters of The Help a lot but then thought it got really stupid.

Finally read The Woman In White and loved it.

I liked White Tiger and Mr Pip.

Oh I read and loved this.

Will try and remember what else!

I have also read a lot of crap and a lot of mediocre stuff. Eg: loathed American Wife.
