Feel-good books to read now

If you are looking for some fantastic uplifting content that you can enjoy during these unprecedented times, take a look at these curated by the Upbeatee review team.

Saving Missy by Beth Morrey

Eleanor Oliphant’s success is Completely Fine has blazed a trail for books about offbeat characters, and this is one of the best I’ve read. Missy is approaching 80 and is lonely until a chance encounter. A joyful read about the power of people in saving each other.

Five Steps To Happy by Ella Dove

Five Steps To Happy is the page-turning debut novel by GH feature writer Ella Dove. The story of how actress Heidi has to find a new future after a life-changing accident is based on Ella's own experience. Lovely writing and engaging characters.

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

I love the idea behind this smart rom-com: Tiffy and Leon share a flat – and a bed – but have never met as she works days as an editor and he works nights as a nurse. It’s funny and charming, but there are moments of real poignancy, too. You are guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce

One morning Harold sets out to post a letter and begins a journey that will change his life. Some moments are unbearably moving, but ultimately, it's an uplifting, big-hearted read.
