I don't know if any of these would be for you but here's some fictional books I've read that I like. I also read a lot of history and feminist literature if you'd be interested in that as well.
(Also, I don't know where you from so I'll skip books in Swedish)
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
Wilderness Tips by Margaret Atwood
The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood
Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Electricity by Victoria Glendinning
Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque by Joyce Carol Oates
The Life and Loves of a She-Devil by Fay Weldon
The Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir
Flowers in the Attics by Virginia Andrews (it's a series of books)
Some classics;
