Matt Haig recommends
You Are Here (2024)
David Nicholls
"The genius who gave us One Day has written another classic and funny love story, set on a ten-day hike. You breeze along and get caught up in it like a leaf in the wind. Joyous."
Better By Far (2024)
Hazel Hayes
"Hazel Hayes is a great writer. . . . Bittersweet is the vibe, and she does it with rare class."
Speech Team (2023)
Tim Murphy
"It is a dream to read and Tim Murphy cares so much for his characters that you absolutely believe they live. Which, thanks to snappy dialogue and emotional characterization, they do. Ultimately, it is a book about growing up and how we do it. I am a total newbie to the world of Speech Teams but I loved this book."
