Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes Following on from the Netflix series, You, that accidentally left a few too many fans lusting over its serial killer protagonist, the wait for the sequel is finally over. Part two is already here. The deliciously insane story follows NYC book store manager Joe Goldberg, a confusingly hot stalker, who flees to L.A with hopes to move on. And it’s not long before he can’t help desiring and obsessing over someone new. He swears it’s different this time, but we all know how persuasive he can be. (Available in Waterstones now).
Saltwater by Jessica Andrews A beautiful new voice in literary fiction tells the story of student, Lucy, who’s world is turned upside down when she makes the move from Sunderland to London after winning a place at university. The book explores different kinds of love that can be hard to define, the harsh realities of shifting class identity in the modern world and one very complex motherdaughter relationship. Upon graduation, Lucy seeks solace in her late Grandfather’s Irish cottage. But will it help her piece her life back together? (Available in Waterstones May 2019).
