Review: Not With a Bang – Temi Oh
An end of the world drama with beautiful family dynamics. I’m not actively drawn to end of the world media but I really enjoyed this one, Temi Oh’s writing is beautiful.

Review: Rootless – Krystle Zara Appiah
Efe and Sam were meant to be together, they just were never there at the right time. A book that has truly broken me but I couldn’t recommend more, just stunning.

Review: James – Percival Everett
James retells the Mark Twain’s The Tales of Huckleberry Finn from his untold perspective. Thoroughly enjoyable and I can’t recommend on audio enough.

Review: Celestial Lights – Cecile Pin
Celestial Lights follows Ollie as he’s going where no man has gone before, to Jupiter’s moon to search for life. More exquisite writing from Pin that starts gentle but leaves a heavy hole after finishing.

Two motherless girls, raised side by side until their lives take them in different directions. An unforgettable tale of sisterhood.

Review: Havisham – Elle Machray
You’ll know of Miss Havisham through Dickens’ Great Expectations but get ready to find out who she was and could be when women write their own stories. One of my favourite reads of the year, a stunning reworking of one of literacy’s most ignored women.

Review: Strangerland – Monika Radojevic
Strangerland proves that love can transcend language, borders and whole oceans. Radojevic’s debut is a roaring success, readers will be incredibly moved by this one.

Review: Good Dirt – Charmaine Wilkerson
The fate of one jar ripples through history with this multi-generational story centring family legacy. This is Wilkerson’s best work yet and I’m so excited to see what comes next for her, do not miss this.
