Sophie Kinsella, who’s just released her<br />
irresistible new standalone novel. Meet<br />
Effie, who’s still not over her parents<br />
splitting up (and thinks no-one should<br />
have to deal with their father and his<br />
new girlfriend’s PDA all over Instagram,<br />
or with the hashtags #viagraworks and<br />
#sexinyoursixties). Now the family’s<br />
split up, the family home needs to<br />
be sold; but there’ll be one last party.<br />
Effie hasn’t been invited! But that’s not<br />
going to stop her going. After all, there<br />
are precious dolls from her childhood<br />
to find, old boyfriends to bump into,<br />
and secrets to discover. You had us at<br />
the hashtags ... The Party Crasher is a<br />
hilarious beach read. Penguin, available<br />

How far would you go to cure your child’s disease? Louise has devoted her life to<br />
caring for her disabled youngest daughter. Her husband Pete works abroad, and is<br />
hardly ever home. Her eldest daughter Eliza is keeping secrets. And Patience, the<br />
youngest, has Rett syndrome, and is trapped in her own body. She laughs, cries,<br />
has opinions, but can’t share them. Then the family is offered the opportunity for<br />
Patience to take part in a new medical trial ... one which may cure her. Are the risks<br />
worth the chance of reward? Love, hope, family, all wrapped up in Patience by<br />
Victoria Scott. Head of Zeus, available at exclusivebooks.co.za • People would kill to<br />
have Faye’s life. A lovely apartment, a gorgeous husband, an adorable daughter.<br />
Which is why it’s a little odd that she now finds herself in a police station. Does,<br />
perhaps, the woman who has everything, have something to hide? The truth, it<br />
appears, is that her life is not what it seems. And she’s been caught out. But she’s<br />
not going to go down without a fight. Camilla Lackberg’s The Gilded Cage is a<br />
thrill a minute read. Harper Collins, available from exclusivebooks.co.za<br />
Youth is a passing phase. And before we know it, it’s gone.<br />
Then there’s the rest of our lives. So says Charlottte Bauer in<br />
How to Get Over Being Young - A Rough Guide to Midlife.<br />
With no subjects off limits, this is described as a funny and sage<br />
guide to midlife, an unscientific, flaws-and-all account of one<br />
woman’s adventures and misadventures through the dark<br />
comedy of the wilderness years. If you’re hitting ‘the rest of your<br />
life’, this is the holiday read you’ve been waiting for.<br />
