Can anyone think of any novels written in the form of letters, emails, messages etc that have been published in the last 10 or so years?

I can only think of Where D'you Go Bernadette

The Appeal by Janice Hallett

Have you looked at the novels by Janice Hallett? The Appeal, the mysterious case of the Alperton Angels, and the Twyford Code are all written in that form.

Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld has an epistolary section. As does the most recent Sally Rooney.

84 Charring Cross Road. Good book.

Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Janice Hallett is fantastic but don't bother with The Twyford Code.

Meet Me at the Museum by Anne Youngson is beautiful.

His Bloody Project is I would say similar to an epistolary novel - it's written as transcripts of various historical documents including I believe some letters. Published in 2015 and very good.

There is Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski which is written as a series of podcast interviews.
