If you’re a fan of Dolly Alderton’s novels, then we’ve found a book you need to add to your reading list.

Spring is always an incredible time for new releases, and this April is no exception.

There are dozens of incredible novels being released in April and one that needs to be at the top of your reading list is Emma Gannon’s Table for One.

The journalist has been one of my favourite writers for some time but her latest novel is her best yet.

Gannon is the perfect voice for millennial women who feel pressured to have it all figured out.

Her novel perfectly encapsulates the struggle that is navigating your 30s.

Table for One follows Willow as her life comes tumbling down following the breakdown of her long-term relationship.

The synopsis reads:

‘Willow has everything worked out. *The steady partner * The successful career * The grown-up house* Until she doesn’t – and she’s cast adrift on the sea of heartbreak, grieving a future with no clear path. With her life transformed beyond recognition, and her friends busy ‘moving forwards, Willow has never felt more alone.

‘But she’s in good company. And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely source, she rekindles the relationship she longs for but has long neglected. The one with herself. ‘

If you’re a fan of Dolly Alderton’s Ghosts and Good Material, then this is the book for you.

Gannon never fails to write relatable female characters that are full of depth and heart. This book is not only charming, but reassuring and comforting for anyone whose life doesn’t reflect the one they thought they would have.

Table for One is one book every millennial woman who has ever felt like she’s failing will relate to.
