Funny Story
EMILY HENRY, £16.99, WATERSTONES
If you enjoyed Emily Henry’s Happy Placeor BookLovers, you’re in for a treat with this novel.
Everyone has a funny story to tell, especially when it comes to how you might have met your partner.
Daphne always loved the way that her fiancé Peter told their tale. How they met one another on a blustery day, fell in love over an errant hat and moved to their lakeside house to start a family.
The real dream for many…
However, there was a part of the love story that Peter would leave out – perhaps the juiciest part.
How he realised that he was actually deeply in love with his childhood best friend Petra, instead.
Only in a turn of events, left heartbroken, completely stranded and struck for cash, there’s only one person Daphne can rely on – Petra’s ex, Miles.
They do say that opposites attract – but this is a case of wife swap!
Are the pair of them simply caught up in lust? Or can Daphne create a true fairy-tale ending for herself ? It would be a funny story after all…
Listen For The Lie
AMY TINTERA, £14.99, WATERSTONES
What would you do if you were covered in your best friend’s blood, with no memory of what had happened the night before?
For Lucy Chase, that was the reality that she faced.

Only none the wiser of what happened for five long years, Lucy is offered the chance to finally find out the truth via a true crime podcast, Listen for theLie.
An offer she accepts without hesitation – if you’re a murderer you’d want to know that, right?
What will Lucy do if it is her? And what are the harrowing events from that night? Would she really turn so quickly on her best friend? Have we all got what it takes to be a killer?
Do you have what it takes to crack the case? You may just have to listen for the lie…
‘Lucy is a terrific character, feisty and funny and, it turns out, brave as hell. It’s great fun. Readers will rip through this one’ – Stephen King.
