I’m so excited for Summer so I’m going with a month of beach reads!
Shelby Van Pelt is the author of the magical realism novel Remarkably Bright Creatures. I adored this novel. It does cover some very serious topics – grief and loneliness for starters, but it is just so remarkable.
I am a huge Chris Hammer fan! Silver was a complete rollercoaster that answered every question that I posed while munching on fish and chips.
For Life by Ailsa Piper is a really special memoir; such beautiful insights into the loss of a partner and moving forward. There is so much beautiful reflection on nature and people, and I just loved it.
I was more than a little hesitant to read Everyone and Everything by Nadine J. Cohen, we know from the outset Yael is coming back from a breakdown. It is another novel that really does talk some very serious themes and there should be some definite trigger warnings that need to be given. This is a book all about grief and depression, but also sisterhood and friendship. I am so glad I read it and I know you will too.
Just for the Summer was as fun as the cover suggests it will be! Super summery, super rom com. I have got to read more Abby Jimenez! It also explores some serious themes too; it comes with its own trigger warning in the first couple of pages.
