Uplifting books to get your day off to the right start

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

The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley

This story of six strangers, all drawn together by a notebook in which people share their secret thoughts and feelings, is a lovely read. When Monica finds a notebook in her café, she discovers inside it the story of neighbour Julian, a once-famous artist grieving his late wife. A reminder of the importance of friendship and reaching out to others.

Days Of Wonder by Keith Stuart

Once in a while, along comes a book that genuinely touches you. Days of Wonder is a bittersweet novel about a single dad and his daughter, Hannah, that made me laugh and cry in turn. Every year theatre manager, Tom, puts on an impressive performance for Hannah, who has a life-limiting heart condition. Still, as her health deteriorates and the theatre comes under threat from developers, the pressure is on him to pull off something extraordinary. With a cast of wonderful, believable characters, this is a magical story about love, hope, and not giving in.

The Lido by Libby Page

86-year-old Rosemary and 26-year-old Kate are united by their campaign to save a local swimming pool. Libby Page’s debut is a heart-warming story about friendship, community and the power of believing in yourself.
