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!

Agree about Elena Ferrante, especially if you love Italy.
May we be forgiven by a m homes - wacky but an involving read (just read it in our book group)
How to be both by Ali Smith - just reading it. Plenty to talk about!
