“Jojo Moyes is the author of the bittersweet ‘Me Before You’ – she also wrote the screenplay for the film starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin (yes, I ugly cried watching it) – and her short story collection is the perfect escape while on holiday or at home in your garden, too. And because it’s in small doses of 11 tales – a real rollercoaster of love, humour and heartbreak about navigating the world of amour – it’s perfect for any moment, no matter how brief, whether unwinding at the end of the day or relaxing in a sun lounger. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but the first, and longest, story – ‘Paris for One’ – the story of Nell, who goes on her romantic weekend trip to Paris alone after her terrible boyfriend bails on her last minute – had me hooked! It’s a breezy read that’s engaging, too.” Karen Silas, Senior Lifestyle Editor
