pickAfter numerous traumatising experiences with men, April decides to take back control in the form of pretending to be carefree Gretel. But how in control can she remain when it turns out Joshua might prove to be one of the good ones. Really heartening, relatable and a great examination of relationships for the MeToo generation.
Again, it was just the two books read in September, but what a two! Honourable mention to Amor Towles‘ A Gentleman in Moscow, but Holly Bourne‘s novel struck a note with me and gave it the edge as my choice for #12BooksOf2021

pickThis should be read by every woman who feels that they are unlovable, that feels that they, something about them, are the reason relationships fail; and by every woman who has felt uncomfortable (or worse) about the way they‘ve been treated by a man. This is a book I needed 20 years ago, when I was the protagonist‘s age.
