Have devoured all of her books one after another and in mourning there are no more left. Trying to find another book now and just can’t find anything I want to start. Tried Jenny Eclair but found her a bit depressing. Not sure what genre I even like anymore. Used to be all about crime fiction but gone off it now. Don’t like super light chick lit either. In a book slump!

You will like Anne Tyler. I love both LM and AT. I’d say LM’s books def have more plot to them but AT’s are similar in that they are brilliant observations on character, family life etc.
Titles I can think of: Digging to America, Breathing Lessons, Patchwork Planet, The Amateur Marriage. Apparantly her very early novels are not very good and AT herself wishes they could be ‘unpublished’, so don’t read those!!

Have you tried Lisa Jewell?

WindUpBird · 06/09/2022 11:17

Also Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge.

Totally different to LM, but have you read any Toni Morrison? I have loved them all!

Liane Moriarty has a couple of sisters who write - Nicola and Jaclyn - who might be worth a try.
Also Marian Keyes, Patricia Scanlan, Sheila O'Flanagan, and Cathy Kelly (all Irish) or Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain (both American).
Jeffrey Archer or Nicholas Sparks?
T M Logan is supposed to be good, but I've not tried any.
If you search Liane Moriarty on Amazon, it will bring up similar authors it thinks you might like.

I love liane Moriarty. Hope this isn't derailing your thread but which book is your favourite? I loved The hypnotists love story and I really liked her last one with the tennis family which I've forgotten the name of

Papergirl1968 · 06/09/2022 21:05

I like Dorothy Koomson and Louise Candlish too, and keep meaning to try Shari Lapina and Kelly Rimmer.

PhoneyM · 06/09/2022 21:13

Clare Macintosh. I see you is a brilliant story

PenguinLove1 · 06/09/2022 21:15

Dorothy koomson is great.

Favourite jus now is Taylor Jenkins Reid - daisy jones and the six, and the seven husbands of evelyn hugo are both excellent, and ive just read Carrie soto is back in a day it was good.

I was just about to ask this. Im part way through the tennis one (Apples Never Fall). I've read almost all of them (or listened on BorrowBox).

I think my favourite was What Alice Forgot.

Cecelia Ahern

I liked what Alice forgot.
The husbands secret stay with me for a long time.
