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:
I saw this on TikTok and bought it for my summer vacation. I loved the story and the book! I couldn’t put it down and recommended it to everyone! I think it’s going to be a Netflix/movie soon. @KR

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.

Promising review:
Loved it, couldn’t put it down, a great love story that had you on the edge of your seat. First time I have read this author, and will def go on and read more. Highly recommend it. @NikkiB

But when their beloved father falls ill, these 2 estranged women will find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now offers no comfort to her daughters.

5. The most charming and uplifting novel you will read this year: The Keeper of Stories by Sally Page

What this book is about:
Janice is a cleaner as well as a keeper of stories. Throughout her days, she sees and hears things that allow her to collect stories of other people. There is nothing malicious in this, but along the way she collects stories of humor, guilt, greed, narcissism, illness, love, caring, and more. She keeps most of her stories to herself until she meets Mrs. B.

In fact, Janice doesn’t want to clean for this shrewd, flamboyant woman until she gets to know her. As Mrs. B shares stories with Janice, Janice shares her story in return. Janice suffers from a lack of confidence. After all, she’s “just a cleaner.” How will finally sharing her story change Janice?

Promising review:
It’s not often that I find myself not wanting a book to end. This is beautifully written with great observations of the human heart and the dilemmas we face. Such an easy read — which is a gift to the reader — it just flows. This is not an easy task for the writer, but this writer is gifted. @Thea

6. Another TikTok sensation: Twisted Love by Ana Huang

What this book is about:
Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can’t escape. Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits of success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart.

Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember. But despite her broken past, she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world, including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want.

Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen, but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both and everything they hold dear.

Promising review:

What this book is about:
Shay Bastable is the woman in the middle. She is part of the sandwich generation — caring for her parents and her children, supporting her husband Bruce, holding them all together, and caring for them as best she can.

Then, the arrival of a large orange skip on her mother’s estate sets in motion a cataclysmic series of events that lead to the collapse of Shay’s world. She is forced to put herself first for a change.
But in order to move forward with her present, Shay needs to make sense of her past.

Humorous and heartwarming, the author has captured all that it means to be a middle-aged woman in the middle. The storyline is gripping and unputdownable. It’s hilarious in places and emotionally charged in others. Loved it! @gill bamford
