#OurBeautifulMess is Adele Parks’ 25th novel in 25 years and shockingly the first one I’ve read. I took it on holiday with me and it couldn’t have made for more perfect sunlounger reading, with shock after shock after shock.

There’s a lot of hype around #Room706 by @ellielevenson.bsky.social, despite it not coming out until early next year, and I was desperate to get my hands on it. It tells the story of Kate and James, who are trapped in a hotel room when the building is taken under siege by a terrorist group.

#BitterSweet by Hattie Williams has a coming-of-age vibe, and I’m a sucker for that. It’s about a young female publicity assistant at a publishing house and her relationship with a much older, married male novelist.

I was drawn to #Slags because I thought it would be funny (it is) and nostalgic for a person who was a teenage girl in the 90s (it is) and because it’s called Slags, which is a pretty ballsy title. What I wasn’t expecting was for it to rip me apart emotionally.

Just booked a blood test and a smear test back to back to avoid two trips to the GP and it feels like a win, albeit a pretty rubbish one.
