The Day We Met by Roxie Cooper
Stephanie and Jamie are meant to be. But the problem is they're both married to other people... This is a heart-rending love story about two people with a connection they never expected to find, amidst lives they thought they were quite happy living. It'll make you wonder about fate, true love and soulmates. It's beautiful and bold, and so on point, because not all love stories are black and white.

This is one of the biggest crime debuts of 2019 and you CANNOT miss it! It's dark, deep and terrifying, about six friends who went camping one night in 1983. Thirty years later, the body of young Aurora is found in a secret hideaway that only the friends knew about. The killer, it seems, was always close to home.

This chilling story won't let you go until you finish the last page! Anna has been taught that her heart's desire to visit Astroland, a theme park, is ungodly.

Another girl, Rosie, has grown up in the shadow of her missing sister, a person she barely remembers. Her parents have spent years searching for her after she was abducted at a theme park. Two girls. Two stories. (And you might just devour it in two hours!)

Star-Crossed by Minnie Darke
It's written in the stars that you will pick up this book and love it in 2019! If you love Marian Keyes and Jojo Moyes then this is the read for you. Justine bumps into her teenage crush Nick, and finds out that he uses his horoscope to guide him through life. As she works for a magazine, she makes a few slight tweaks to the Aquarius before it goes to print, pretty sure it won't do any harm. It's just the stars, right?

Day of the Accident by Nuala Ellwood
If you love staying up all night with a book you can't tear your eyes from, this book needs to be in your hands right now. It's so clever, so twisty, and full of mind games that'll keep you guessing. Maggie wakes up from a coma and is told that her daughter died after she drove them both into a river. That her husband, Sean, hasn't been seen since the funeral. But, unsure of why her husband would have disappeared, Maggie can't quite shake the feeling that her daughter is still alive. It's utterly thrilling stuff.

The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion
If you adored The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect, you'll be clapping your hands with glee with the arrival of The Rosie Result. With a ten year old son, 3653 days of marriage and a downward curve on his life-contentment graph, Dom is trying to learn what it means to be a good parent as well as a good partner. It will somehow involve opening a cocktail bar. And it will be every bit as colourful, endearing and laugh-out-loud as the previous two Rosie novels!

Tell Me a Secret by Jane Fallon
We loved Jane Fallon's smart, edgy books Faking Friends and My Sweet Revenge, and Tell Me A Secret surely won't disappoint! With strong leading ladies and darker themes like revenge and toxic friendship, her writing feels like rom com with a devilish twist. Holly and Roz are best friends, and best friends are supposed to be happy for one another. But when Holly gets the opportunity of a lifetime, she can't help shake the feeling that Roz doesn't seem quite on side...

The Girl at the Window by Rowan Coleman
Cover to be revealed
We loved Rowan Coleman’s hit The Summer of Impossible Things in 2018, and her latest novel sounds every bit as enchanting. Trudy grew up in the magical Ponden Hall, the setting of Wuthering Heights and frequent haunt of the Brontës. Now, tragedy brings her back with her young son in tow. But she soon discovers that the past lies in the walls of the house, and its previous generations might just be able to reach her in the present…
