Looking for an author - Jacqueline Wilson for adults

As it says in the title really. Like Jacqueline Wilson, but for adults.

Very readable, dealing with serious issues in a relatable and often light hearted way. Would be very interested to hear other people's thoughts. I know JW can be a bit controversial for some. I spose I'm interesting in finding someone very popular, that people who don't usually read enjoy, and doing something a little bit different to other writers and genres.

I think you'd like Jodie Picoult.

Diane Chamberlain, a bit like Jodie Picoult, although I found her books better, JP seemed to get a bit samey-samey after a while.

Dorothy Koomson or Liane Moriarty, both very readable.

I didn't get on with JP at all!
But, I was newly single and in the process of getting my son's autism diagnosis, and someone lent me her book about a single mum who's adult son with autism gets arrested and sent to prison....
Perhaps I should give her another go Grin

It's not really for me tbh, I'm just wondering what's the next stage for JW readers. Too much time on my hands today, just musing Smile

Oh yes love Dorothy Koomson, some of hers have a real twist!

Judy Blume - her adult books

Marian Keyes might be a good fit.

At least that's what I try to do with my books.

PM me if you'd like details. Blush
