Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. I would recommend it to people who enjoy a fun story that isn't trying to be a masterpiece, just a good 340-ish pages of entertainment.

It takes place in an alternate history where faeries are real, and the main character is a "dryadologist" who studies them. It follows her field work in a small island off the coast of Norway trying to document an elusive species of Fae for the first time.
