I'm dealing with tons of stress right now, finding it hard to concentrate and get into books. Please suggest me any books that will hook me from the start but are not too taxing to read.
I'm open to most genres except graphic novels and sci-fi.

Forgot to add anything by Claire Chambers-always well written, great stories and definitely (for me) unputdownable!

I tend to go for a James Patterson (women’s murder club), Lisa Jewell as mentioned, Jane Casey etc for times I need a book like that. However currently reading Margot’s got money troubles which I’m finding difficult to put down

I'm not sure if it would count as stress relieving, but I read a book called "a child called it" which is the story of David Pelzer, written by him. The subject isn't light as it is his abuse, and how he overcame it, but I couldn't put it down. It was captivating.

The List of Suspicious Things - absolutely brilliant. Anything by Lianne Moriarty.
