CECELIA AHERN (HARPERCOLLINS, £12.99) The best-selling author of PS,

I Love You is back with a collection of 30 short stories about what it means to be a woman today. Penned with the #Metoo movement in the forefront of her mind, Ahern delves into many of the issues facing women today, including birth control, ageing, self-esteem, equality and the burden of guilt, with titles such as The Woman Who Was A Featherbrain and The Woman Who Ate Photographs. Often witty, always smart and perpetually readable, this is the perfect collection to dip into on the commute/in the bath/while you’re waiting for a friend in a café. ★★★★ Sarah Hughes
