SEPTEMBER 22 READS

The kiddos heading back to school can only mean one thing... it's time for your September reading list! So many great books came out this summer and here is a round up of my favourites.

AFTER PARIS, Nicole Kennedy

Best friends for twenty years, Alice, Nina and Jules return to the city where they met for a much-needed catch up. But they're carrying around more baggage than the Eurostar. This is an excellent, honest and completely compelling story of friendship through the years.

INFAMOUS, Lex Croucher

Regency romance collides with a Gen Z mindset in this absolute treat of a tome. Edith (Eddie) and Rose have been best friends forever but their debut into society changes everything. With Rose engaged and Eddie enthralled by poet du jour Nash Nicholson, Eddie and Rose are forced to navigate what they really want from life during a hedonistic trip to Nash's family pile. So good.

BEFORE I DO, Sophie Cousens

Audrey's getting married to sweet, dependable Josh. Until the night before her wedding when The One That Got Away, Fred, turns up at her rehearsal dinner. Gah! Audrey's in a dither, considering every bad sign from then on an omen that she should not marry Josh after all. Is fate telling her that she should have waited for Fred? This is a lovely, heart-warming romcom.

Thank you to Hodder, Head of Zues and Zaffre for the early copies.

THRILLER MINUTE

I often find myself with a hankering for a thriller, specifically something fresh and stylish. I'll take an Agatha Christie for the modern age, please! If you're in the mood for suspense then these two new corkers should do the trick.

THE PARIS APARTMENT, Lucy Foley

I adored The Guest List and Lucy's new release is just as compelling, with plenty of opulent Paris thrown in for good measure. This immersive, atmospheric murder mystery is an absolute must.

Out now.

THE WEDDING NIGHT, Harriet Walker

An incredibly stylish thriller set in the South of France? Yes please. Lizzie's just cancelled her French wedding but she and her closest friends decide to go on the break anyway, only to find the chateau still set up for her nuptials. When Lizzie goes to bed, her friends celebrate the big day without her... and one is hell-bent on tormenting her.

You'll read this way past your bedtime, hungry for more. The definition of a page-turner.

Out now.

Thanks to Harper Collins for the advanced copy of The Paris Apartment.

NEW FOR 2022

Pre-orders at the ready... these fabulous new books drop in May and are SO worth a read.

ONE NIGHT WITH YOU, Laura Jane Williams

Ruby and Nic are perfect for each other but there's one seismic problem. She's leaving London and he's just arriving. One Night With You is yet another corker from Laura Jane Williams, filled with engaging characters who will come to feel like your real life pals. A dreamy will-they-won't-they.

This one's out in May and available to pre-order now.

TELL ME EVERYTHING, Laura Kay

Well, well, well. This is the first time I've read a Laura Kay and it definitely won't be the last. I fell hard for Tell Me Everything. It's about Natasha, a therapist who does not have her stuff together. She's still living with her ex girlfriend and life is kind of messy. Gah! The book serves up plenty of goodness... romance and relationships sit alongside a smart and brilliantly fast-paced plot.

Also out in May and available to pre-order now.
