I'm sharing another instalment of my Mini Review Mondays, after continuing it earlier this year! In case you haven't seen any of my previous posts, I do 'mini' reviews of books that I've read, loved and usually promised to review ages ago. Today, I'm focusing on three brilliant stories that I was lucky enough to read early, two of which have come out recently. I'm going to start with the new contemporary novel from Sara Barnard, which has been pushed back to next year and I read early via Netgalley thanks to Macmillan.

Clap When You Land
I love Elizabeth Acevedo's work immensely, so as soon as I found out that another book was on the way from and that it was in verse, dealt with grief and had amazing representation, I knew I needed it in my life.
