I’m 50 pages into Submarine by Joe Dunthorne and I am absolutely loving it. Oliver Tate is just such a fantastic character. You have such a clear picture of him from the first page and he’s unintentionally hilarious. Being from a town near Swansea I’m also loving all the references to things like Joe’s ice cream and Dan Yr Ogof caves.
What did you recently finish reading?
I finished Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman a few days ago. Another example of a brilliant character. I can’t wait to get my review up this week. It was honestly one of my favourite reads from this year. There were so many things Eleanor confides that you think only you know. Equal measures of warmth and sadness. I haven’t been able to stop gushing about it.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’ve taken a slight detour from my uni reading recently, but it’s the summer so I feel like its okay to let myself off. I might go back to reading for my dissertation though. So it’ll either be All That Man Is by David Slazay or The First Person by Ali Smith.
I’m seeing Eleanor Oliphant EVERYWHERE so I guess I’m going to have to see what everyone is raving about….

Thanks! It was great- the perfect mix of humour and emotion. It took me completely by surprise! I’m loving Submarine too for similar reasons!
