Jesse Q. Sutanto’s The Obsession is a chilling thriller that deconstructs the “perfect romance.” When a stalker witnesses his crush committing a crime, a deadly game of survival begins. Exploring the thin line between devotion and danger, this novel is a gripping look at toxic dynamics and digital privacy—perfect for older teens who enjoy psychological tension and morally gray characters. Note: Best suited for Grade 12+ due to mature themes of manipulation.
