Still Me by Jojo Moyes
Oh, we love a Jojo Moyes tale. This is the follow-up to Me Before You and After You, joining Lu in New York where she meets new guy, Josh. A guaranteed tear-jerker.

The Only Story by Julian Barnes
19-year-old Paul falls for Susan, a woman in her forties. As they grow older, the demands of their relationship become far greater than he could ever have known – is it better to have loved and lost, or never loved at all?
Need To Know by Karen Cleveland
CIA analyst Vivian realises she doesn’t really know her husband at all, when she discovers the fact he’s an undercover Russian operative she’s spent months trying to unveil. An enjoyably tense thriller.
