Where The Grass Is Green by the fabulous Lauren Weisberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada) revolves around Peyton, a high-profile anchor for a morning news programme, who’s an American darling and can do no wrong. Until her husband is arrested. The charge? Admissions fraud … a payment (read bribe) to get their daughter into the best college. Off go Peyton and her daughter to hide out with her sister in the suburbs, hoping that the scandal will die down. It’s all glamour, and gossip and a sensationally enjoyable read.

Jodi Picoult’s Wish You We’re Here is all about how life happens when you are making other plans. In 29-year-old Diana’s case that involves a promotion and flying off to an exotic island in the Pacific, where she knows her surgeon boyfriend is going to propose (hint, boys, don’t hide the ring in the sock drawer). But … Life! And Covid! Half way through this book you’re hit with a massive twist, and then they just keep coming. We must admit we went off Jodi for a while, but we’re back to being fans with this one … loved it. Hodder & Stoughton
