New northern voices, and mind-bending adventures - here's what not to miss.

Most Wanted 

Andi Osho
Naya and Jake aren’t asking for much – their own home, maybe even a wine cooler in the kitchen. But with skyrocketing prices it becomes clear to the pair that unless they’re willing to live in rundown apartments all their lives, they’re going to have to get creative with how they make money.

People Pleaser

Bryony Gordon
Long-time people pleaser Olivia Greenwood has it all, but a crushing blow to her career and an exciting stranger are about to turn her carefully-curated life upside down. After a wild night, Olivia suddenly has no interest in anyone but Olivia.

John of John

Douglas Stewart
Longlisted for this year’s Booker Prize, Shuggie Bain author Douglas Stewart is back with another gut-wrenching tale of difficult family dynamics and identity, set on the remote island of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.

Underdogs

Louise Powell
It’s County Durham in 1998 and life is hard, but ex-miner Bertie has a scheme to turn his luck around, running an underground gambling ring at the local dog track. Soon, father and son Reg and George are sucked into his world as they prepare to race their greyhound, Goldie.

They All Fall in Love at the End

Haili Blassingame
Twenty-something writer Cat St Clair lives for the drama, but may have bitten off more than she can chew this time. In an open relationship for the first time, she falls for the only two people who are strictly off-limits, her boyfriend’s best friend Tristan, and Tristan’s girlfriend Nia. Cat is determined to have it all, but can it ever work?

The Mash Up

Laura Marie Meyers
Ruby’s carefully-controlled life is upended after a surprise break-up on her 35th birthday. After a desperate wish comes true, she wakes up in a technicolour mansion straight out of a game she played as a child. Has she finally found her chance at love, or will it all end in tears?
