This buzzy novel follows three friends at university and into adulthood. &amp;nbsp;A follow up from King’s best-seller WRITERS AND LOVERS, it is an instant New York Times best-seller and is long-listed for the 2026 Women’s Prize for Fiction (shortlist to be announced on 22 April). It’s also Zadie Smith’s pick for ’the book that made me weep uncontrollably.’ &amp;nbsp; More literary romances: THE EVENING OF THE HOLIDAY by Shirley Hazzard SEEING OTHER PEOPLE by Diana Reid &amp;nbsp; Follow us!
