One Day - David Nicholls
I remember reading this one summer, on a couch in a flat owned by an ex-lover. An ex-lover who was gallivanting through the USA and who, it would turn out, dumped me when they returned. After paying three months of their rent.
This has no reflection on this wonderful book but the painful, beautiful story inside the pages of this book still sticks with me many years later.
One day is potentially one of the best romantic comedy books of the 2000s and will break your heart and leave you needing more.
You can get One Day for free when you sign up to get the audiobook. Or just get a hard copy.
The Quiet at End of The World - Lauren James
Romance novels can be derivative and the more you read, the more they meld together. Something quirky may freshen up your pallette.
Themes of humanity, what it means to be human and why love is the most important thing we can do, are strong in the book.
A powerful multi-award-winning novel that I've kept on the bookshelf.
