Laura Wood recommends
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."
