1. TikTok sensation: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
What this book is about:
Monique, a young journalist whose career has only just begun, is asked to write a story about a very famous film star from the 1950s and onward, Evelyn Hugo. Evelyn has specifically chosen Monique for a reason that isn’t revealed to her until closer to the end of the book. Evelyn’s life is one of desperation to leave the life she had as a child and make it as a movie star, and a life of trying to balance her desire for fame and money with her desire to be happy and have a relationship and life she really wants.
It is, at times, a truly sad story and one that, over the decades, becomes easier, but as Monique writes Evelyn’s story and the reason she has been chosen to do so is revealed, you are cleverly shown that nothing is as simple as it seems and that life is not just black and white.
Promising review:

2. Emotion-packed: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
What this book is about:
After serving 5 years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her 4-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.
The only person who hasn’t completely closed the door on her is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter.
Promising review:
I didn’t know where it was going to go. I couldn’t predict that book at all, and that’s good because Ledger was a strong character, as was Kenna. I didn’t read any of the reviews on this one, only the blurb twice. Amazing book. @Lollyp

3. The TikTok bestseller and perfect small-town romcom: Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
What this book is about:
Escaping her seemingly perfect wedding, Naomi Witt arrives in rough-around-the-edges Knockemout, Virginia, running to the rescue of her estranged twin, Tina. Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected: the 11-year-old niece who she didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no job, no plan, no home, and a whole lot of extra responsibility.
There’s a reason that the local barber, Knox, doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And as soon as she stops getting into trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
