Beach Read by Emily Henry

This may seem like fluff at first but there is a lot going on underneath the seemingly innocent title. The story revolves around Augustus and January, both are writers but they are polar opposites. What brings them together is that they live in neighbouring beach houses and both of them are suffering from writers block. So, they try and come up with a plan to help each other write again. The book is not a conventional romance. It is also about dealing with loss and grieving for a loved one. It is beautifully written and will definitely want to make you want to read it again once you are on the last page.

Intimations by Zadie Smith

The pandemic has been brutal but it has also given birth to some thought-provoking writings and that is exactly what you will find in this book. The writer puts down her thoughts in the form of essays about the lockdown and what changes took place in her neighbourhood when people were forced to spend all their time indoors. It also brings up important topics such as the murder of George Floyd and the racism that can be seen and felt across America and the rest of the world. It is a book that will move you, and make you ponder on the crazy times that we are living in.
