Netflix's Secrets We Keep is a gripping new crime drama that peels back the polished veneer of suburban life, exposing unsettling truths. Set in an affluent Copenhagen neighborhood, the series follows Cecilie, whose investigation into the disappearance of her neighbors' Filipino au pair, Ruby, unearths a hidden web of exploitation, silence and complicity. As secrets emerge – including those within her own close-knit social circle – Cecilie is forced to confront the dark undercurrents of privilege and social class that permeate her community. An incisive social commentary, this series' suspenseful narrative will keep viewers thinking about the hidden realities behind seemingly perfect lives long after the last episode.

My Friends by Fredrik Backman, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, is a poignant story of friendship, grief and the enduring power of art. The narrative follows two intertwined stories – in the past, four teenagers find solace from their troubled homes on a seaside pier, creating bonds that inspire a masterpiece painting; in the present, Louisa, a young struggling artist, inherits the painting and makes it her mission to uncover its origins. As she dives into the painting's history, she embarks on her own personal journey of healing and understanding. In this novel, Backman's rich storytelling accentuates how friendship, loss and art can transcend time.
