A WORLD APART is a love story between our two protagonists: Kit, the second son of a down-on-his-luck English lord who moonlights as an aspiring gentleman magician; and Wil, who began life as an Anglo-Saxon labourer but has been trapped in time for 800 years by virtue of an insidious bargain he made with the Queen of the Fae.

Join the darkly, dangerous world of medieval courts with a magical twist this October as we follow Bianca navigate the unsettling truths that shroud her childhood friend’s death.

I wish I could read this book again for the first time and I know I’ll be picking it up again soon as the colder months draw in and I need something cozy.

The parasocial, fame hungry novel for reality TV fanatics!

I’ve always loved the storytelling asymmetry of one character knowing more about their relationship with another character. I think that sets up such interesting conflicts to unravel, particularly in a romance where attraction and romantic love are a part of the picture too. There’s such great opportunity for yearning!

Settle down, put on Young Sherlock or Enola Holmes and join Mrs Hudson as she embarks on the first of, what I can only imagine to be, many mysteries.

But in following Mattie’s journey, I found some of the answers I was seeking every time I asked myself what if? I hope readers do too.

The story itself felt passionate about nature, the planet and the ocean, and all of that came across through the characters. It moved me greatly and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, long after I’d put it down.

Fast-paced and exciting, this book grabbed me from the first chapter. With a split narrative that explores the messy past between Juliette and Dominic, we as the readers join the dangerous world of Formula 1 driving.

But not everything is smooth sailing. Care turns into heartbreak as external forces meddle and spew venom, striving to keep them apart. Will the forces win out or will their love overcome their differences?

If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh out loud and fall in love with the main character, this is it.

Slow and careful, this story unravels around us, whispering the secrets it holds. With every page we learn more about Shannon and Victoria, the friendship that holds them together and the world they dream about.

She lets no one close to her, fighting hard to never allow herself to feel that loss again until Aleksandr walks into her life with his awful zodiac birth chart.

A tender and heart aching story of growing up, grief and girlhood.

An interconnected tale of a couple who open their marriage and navigate a non-monogamous relationship.

The Leveret is a gorgeously tender short novel exploring grief, baby loss and queer love.

Over the next five years, they explore their sexualities, navigating through jealousy, betrayal, desire, and obsession—and the friends and lovers in their circle find themselves asking new questions about their own lives and relationships. But when each is pulled in a new and unexpected direction, Ben and Frances are forced to confront the consequences of their experiment.

If you read one book this summer, it has to be this one. Friendship, romance and comedy play out on the page in beautiful harmony, warming my heart with each sentence.

A wonderful book full of sharp humour and a female lead who will keep the reader on their toes at every turn.

It’s almost time for a weird girl lit summer, and if that sounds like you’re kind of summer, then Decomposition Book NEEDS to be at the top of your TBR!
