Laura Wood recommends
Unromance (2025)
Erin Connor
"Funny and deeply charming. A real love letter to romance fans that manages to take the art of the rom com seriously, while also delivering on heart and humour."
Not for the Faint of Heart (2024)
Lex Croucher
"A total joy! Combines heart-pounding adventure, a gleefully tropey grumpy/sunshine romance and a found family of loveable rogues with wit and humor to make something utterly delicious."
You Could Be So Pretty (2023)
Holly Bourne
"You Could Be So Pretty reads like a compulsive thriller, but this dystopian story felt frighteningly real. Vital, compelling, heart-wrenchingly relatable - this book is a shot of adrenaline, an empathetic friend and a furious call to arms. I loved it."
