Mine is Project Hail Mary, I didn’t know anything about the story before I read it, just the cover blurb. I really, really enjoyed it and it really tugged at my heart strings. I won’t say anymore about it as I don’t want to give any spoilers away.

I have just finished "The Last Act of Love". It's a true story and so so very sad, a wonderful tribute to the authors brother.

I was going to say this. It’s so incredibly devastating, but such a wonderful tribute.

Did you read her Writers and Lovers, which is both sequel and prequel to it? And even better!
