Suggest the next book for my bookclub (please)?

My bookclub only has 3 weeks til our next meeting before some of us are away for a while.

There are 5 of us, all with slightly different taste. We just finished the Sword of Kaigen by M.L Wang and are needing something lighter.

Just a bit of trashy, girly fun, we don’t do any rereading so anything Emily Henry is out because each of us has read a couple of her books.

[Romance] Authors we’ve liked: Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella (I’ve got Your Number), Jane Austen, Lynn Painter

Authors we don’t like: Hannah Grace, modern Janet Evanovich (I love the Stephanie Plum and Motor Mouth novels but The Recovery Agent was a mess), Rebecca Yarros, Colleen Hoover

Mixed reviews: Sarah J Maas

Genres: chick lit (hate calling it that), comedy, light drama, pop culture classics, Romantasy

I suggested The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow but we need some more to throw in the mix

We all agree that romance on its own without other subplot is not our cup of tea. Romance lovers – please suggest me your favourites!

Here are some of our favourite non-romance reads, I think we all appreciate a strong character voice: The Sword of Kaigen (M.L Wang), Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil (V.E Schwab), My Friends (Frederick Bachman), Dungeon Crawler Carl (Matt Diniman), Hitchhikers Guide (Douglas Adams)
