Hello fellow MNers, please help me out here. I've got to choose the next book for my book group and am stumped.

Books we have enjoyed recently include:
Elizabeth is Missing
Gillespie and I
We are all Completely Beside Ourselves
The Miniaturist

One or two of the group did mutter that as it will be a holiday read for most people, please can it not be anything too dreary (we recently did Burial Rites which went down like a lead balloon).

I was wondering about "Us" by David Nicholls. I haven't read it myself but it had a good review in the Sunday Times. However, someone said to me that it was very like "The Rosie Project" which I hated.

Has anyone read "Us"? Is it too lowbrow? Or any other ideas?

Thanks!

Us was good.

I quite liked Nick Hornby's Funny Girl too, if it's a light read you're after.

What about The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett.

Perfect book club fodder.

What about the new Rachel Johnson book about ghastly rich people and their iceberg houses in Notting Hill?
