I’ve been through some very difficult, sad work stuff. It’s consuming my mind.

I love to read - please recommend me some fun books! Basically your most excellent, uplifting read. Things like that I have previously loved have been Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld and Daisy Jones and the Six (I know Daisy Jones was not necessarily an uplifting read but it uplifted me!).

Maybe You Are Here by David Nicholls? Similar ish vibe to Romantic Comedy but set on the Coast to Coast!

Highly recommend any of Milly Johnson's books ...just feel good stories about relatable characters!

AGREED!! Love this. Also Lianne Moriarty books can have deeper themes but she writes in such a fun way. I love them all.

I haven’t read the Rosie Project - I will make that my next read!

I haven’t read any Milly Johnson either!

I found Emily Henry recently and I would say she is a good option when you need an escape from stress and sadness.

Paul O'Grady - all his autobiographies.

Nancy Mitford, if you don't mind early-mid 20th books

Anything by Laurie Colwin. Start with Happy All the Time or A Big Storm Knocked It Over.
