Book Reviews
‘Look What You Made Me Do’ by John Lanchester
Despite a gripping premise, the novel squanders its potential with underwhelming characters and an anticlimactic plot that never quite gets going.
‘Yesteryear’ by Caro Claire Burke
One of the most hyped books of the year examines the allure of perfection and the impact of online personas, making it a compelling read.
‘The Barbecue at No.9’ by Jennie Godfrey
Set against the backdrop of Live Aid, the novel unfolds through multiple perspectives, showcasing a tightly-knit community’s evolving dynamics and hidden truths.
‘You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It’ by Lisa Rinna
The ‘Real Housewives..’ star shares her story with humor and candor, offering insights into her career and personal growth.
‘Cleopatra and Frankenstein’ by Coco Mellors
Mellors gives us a novel engaging enough to follow but often feels like it favours style instead of profundity.
‘Hamnet’ by Maggie O’Farrell
Behind one of literature’s most famous names is a story of devastating loss. O’Farrell places Agnes rightfully at its centre, capturing the labour of a mother left to carry on.

When Close Friends Become Strangers
It’s one of the more subtle griefs we carry: the friendships that slipped through the cracks of busy lives, changing circumstances, and unspoken assumptions that the bond would always be there.
