I can recommend two strong stories that came out earlier in 2020:
"Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke was great. Minimalist and eerie, with a satisfying science-fantasy plot. Very different in size, scope and theme from Clarke's previous novel, "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell".
"The invisible life of Addie La Rue" by V.E. Schwab. A good character and a good story, but with a couple of tropey elements here and there. I had fun with it, but since I can't remember its end just a couple of months after reading it, suggests that it (the end) might be a little underwhelming.
