Gráinne Murphy recommends

The First Act of Summer (2026)
Joanna Glen
"I adored everything about this story. Fans of Fredrik Backman's The Friends will love the bittersweet tone. A delicate and thought-provoking exploration of how the powerful forces of friendship, timing, shame, memory and motherhood shape the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and who we become. Heartfelt, funny and wise, Joanna Glen is always a joy to read."
