Caroline Smailes recommends
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."
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."
