LovedAnd that book was just so eye-opening, so informative, and heartbreaking, too. And she's just so strong, and it was a really, really profound book. I gave it a five star easily.

Strangers (2026)
Creators: Loved A memoir about the sudden, unexplained end of a twenty-year marriage. In early 2020, Belle Burden's husband abruptly announced he was leaving, with no prior warning or discussion. Burden revisits their life together searching for clues she may have missed, while reckoning with her own family history and societal expectations of how women should respond to betrayal. The book traces her transformation from a quiet, compliant woman into someone determined to reclaim her voice and rebuild her life.

Sophie HeawoodThis "funny, dark, and true" (Caitlin Moran) memoir is Bridget Jones's Diary for the Fleabag generation: What happens when you have an unplanned baby on your own in your mid-thirties before you've worked out how to look after yourself, let alone a child?
This is the story of one woman's adventures in single motherhood. It's about what happens when Mr. Right isn't around so you have a baby with Mr. Wrong, a touring musician who tells you halfway through your pregnancy that he's met someone else, just after you've given up your LA life and moved back to England to attempt some kind of modern family life with him.
So now you're six months along, sleeping on a friend's sofa in London, and waking up in the morning to a room full of taxidermied animals who seem to be staring at you. The Hungover Games about what it's like raising a baby on your own when you're more at home on the dance floor than in the kitchen. It's about how to invent the concept of the two-person family when you grew up in a traditional nuclear unit of four, and your kid's friends all have happily married parents too, and you are definitely not, in any way, ticking off the days until all those lovely couples get divorced.
Unflinchingly honest, emotionally raw, and surprisingly sweet, The Hungover Games is the true story of what happens if you've been looking for love your whole life and finally find it where you least expect it.
