I am behind the curve I know, but what a wonderful book Meg Mason's 'Sorrow And Bliss' is. Wise and sad, but so funny. Like 'actually' funny. What an absolute treat. – source2023-01-01T13:20:28.000Z
Anyway, to be more positive, some books I loved last year: Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, The Family Remains, Lessons in Chemistry, Sorrow and Bliss, Conversations in Love, Again, Rachel and Love Marriage. All fiction is valuable xx – source
