The Family String debut novel by AA Denise Pictonhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved the world/s of the characters in Gabrielle Zevin's latest, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. In games, you can get a new life, start over - extra tomorrows. In real life, they struggle like the rest of us.
4.5~5★ My review of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
Ploughing through this series, it's great. Karin Slaughter

"How To Save A Life" by Clare Swatman.
Looks like a light romcom, but is more a slow and somewhat dark story of relationships. I loved it.

The Whistle Stop Canteen by Barb Warner Deane and my review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
No second-novel-syndrome for Douglas Stuart! Although, as I understand it, Young Mungo was essentially finished before he got caught up in the Booker circus. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
