Jenny Colgan recommends
Gold (2007)
Dan Rhodes
"Whilst remaining as funny and original as ever, Gold is maybe Rhodes' most adult, moving book yet. Unforgettable."
One Day (2009)
David Nicholls
"The funniest, loveliest book I've read in ages. Most of all it is horribly, cringingly, absolutely 100% honest and true to life: I lived every page."
The Summer Of Impossible Things (2017)
Rowan Coleman
"Gorgeous, glowing, heartbreaking and wonderful - Rowan's best novel to date."
The Woman in the Window (2018)
A J Finn
"Dense, brilliant and unforgettable; tight in focus, widescreen in execution."
The Man I Think I Know (2018)
Mike Gayle
"Mike is always wise and wonderful, but this is a whole new departure for him - read it!"
Where The Light Gets In (2018)
Lucy Dillon
"I always find Lucy Dillon's books so overflowing with wit and wisdom."
