HUGE thank you to everyone who sat & listened to my ideas, gave feedback, read drafts, shared data, grilled me in practice interviews & acted as general cheerleaders. I couldn’t have done it without you all (genuinely).

I’m so proud of our team & excited to see what we achieve!

22. A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier

Another story about the choices women have to make & society’s expectations. Set post WW1 so a different time but still resonates

20. This One Life by Amanda Prowse

Not at all the story I was expecting! About whether women can have it all & the choices that have to be made. A good read!

16. Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

Having loved the writing in Gentleman in Moscow, I wanted to read another by Towles. This did not disappoint. Shows how you can assume so much about a person & be completely wrong. And how seemingly small decisions can change a life course
