Coco Mellors recommends

So Old, So Young (2026)
Grant Ginder
"A resonant exploration of platonic love and what it takes to grow up and grow together. Ginder writes about friendship with his signature wit and insight - his characters are smart, messy, gloriously flawed, and laugh-out-loud funny. So Old, So Young is as sharp as it is tender."

I Hope You Find What You're Looking for (2026)
Bsrat Mezghebe
"A debut that glows with truth and heart."

Workhorse (2025)
Caroline Palmer
"A fierce, funny and unflinching examination of ambition, class and the quiet indignities of being underestimated. You certainly don't need to have worked in fashion to appreciate Palmer's razor-sharp and deliciously wry observations about the industry - but as someone who did, I both adored and applaud her honesty."
