This book is amazing. It’s written about Evie, who’s desperate to find a place she belongs. Unfortunately for her, she finds the wrong place – and ends up being changed forever. Lena Dunham says “This book will break your heart and blow your mind.”

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

This book is our Managing Editor’s favorite ever. Although it’s about living creatively, it has so many lessons for all aspects of life. “We all spend our twenties and thirties trying so hard to be perfect, because we’re so worried about what people will think of us…But you won’t be completely free until you reach your sixties and seventies, when you finally realize this liberating truth – nobody was ever thinking about you , anyhow.”

    I’ve heard so many good things about The Girls that I will read it next, as I just finished a book a couple of days ago. The Help was wonderful, as were lots of the others. For me, Wild by Cheryl Strayed was a life changing book.
