Would anyone like to suggest a book my postnatal brain could deal with?

For months now, even through pregnancy, I've not been able to get into any book. The pile of unfinished books is getting higher and higher.

I'm giving up on The Eyre Affair today after reaching the conclusion I just don't care how it ends or what happens. I've also abandoned Slaughterhouse 5, but was probably a bit ambitious trying to read it while too tired etc. I need a book to get me back into reading, something that would really grab me, that I won't be able to put down. None of the books I have at home are right as too 'literary' (The Kindly Ones, The Goldfinch, If this is a Man etc).

I was thinking Gone Girl? Don't normally read thrillers but maybe that's the sort of book I need?

Where's my cow? Grin
Do not, like me, decide Sophie's choice would be a good hospital book.
I was a bit meh about gone girl.
, but it's not demanding.

Until you're mine by Sam Hayes.
Not too demanding, but a decent page turner.
Gone Girl is also a good read.
