5. One Day by David Nicholls

The list author says:
	"7/10 I enjoyed this and it was a clever idea to go with (each of two main characters' lives on one day across a twenty year period). In parts not very believable but very readable."

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

9. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Never Let Me Go

12. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

The list author says:

16. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

The list author says:
	"7.5/10 A book markteted as 'chick lit' but do not write it off for this reason. The content is much less 'fluffy' than typical chick lit, and the characterisation is consistent and mostly believable."
