*Summer reading list part 3* Today, the books no self-respecting holiday is complete without. The blockbusters, if you will. Careering - Daisy Buchanan @thedaisybee @littlebrownbookgroup_uk Now this is a zeitgeisty treat. If you’ve worked in magazines, it is almost painfully recognisable. Imogen is utterly dedicated to her nascent career - and completely broke. Her boss, Harri, has given her life to the magazine – only to to find herself sidelined. It brilliantly captures the utter chaos, confusion of your twenties, and the toxic relationships women can have with their work. Honest, raw, sexy, thought-provoking. Served up with insight and aceribic wit. Carrie Soto is Back - Taylor Jenkins Read @tjenkinsreid @penguinukbooks (out August - pre-order now) I have decided TJR is incapable of writing a dull book. Carrie Soto is a retired tennis player – the best in the world. But now a young British upstart is intent upon stealing her crown. It. Is. Brilliant. Even if you don’t like tennis, you will find yourself passionately engaged. And the relationships – oh my heart....Especially the one between Carrie and her father, who is also her tennis coach. Buy it, read it, give it to everyone you know. This is the book your holiday needs — and it’s pure, glorious escapism it you’re stuck at home. Mesmerising, compelling, unputdownable. Again, Rachel - Marian Keyes @michaeljbooks @marian_keyes The sequel to Rachel’s Holiday by the queen that is Marian Keyes. Rachel’s life is no longer a mess – in fact it’s very much sorted, thank you very much. But then the reappearance of Luke – swoon – throws her world off its axis. Marian is wise, witty, warm and wonderful and this shines from every page. She has such a gift for portraying the tangled, complexity of human relationships and the hurt and pain and love we inflict on those we care most about.
