Holly Bourne recommends
The Burning (2019)
Laura Bates
"The Burning lights a fire in you - one that makes you want to fight for change and ignite sparks in others so the fire spreads and spreads."
Olive (2020)
Emma Gannon
"It's warm and charming and yet VERY brave in its honesty about having children and how that impacts female friendships. I suspect a lot of women will feel relieved and seen when they read it."
All About Us (2020)
Tom Ellen
"An insightful, nuanced look at modern relationships, I LOVED it. A Christmas Carol meets Love Actually."
