Caroline Smailes recommends
thumb
Walk (2022)
James Rice
"This one's special. Bold, unapologetic, superbly written. 'Walk' offers a masterclass in how to write lean prose that's visually stunning and dialogue that's entirely real."
thumb
The Day We Meet Again (2019)
Miranda Dickinson
"A novel about friendship and taking risks, about kindness and gratitude, but mainly about having the courage to love."
thumb
Tell Me Your Secret (2019)
Dorothy Koomson
"Gripping, unapologetic, full of heart and truth."
