Sometimes my favourite book of the year is one that had the best story. Or maybe its one that displayed the most engaging writing. Or perhaps it will have introduced me to a new writer I know I’m going to love.In 2020, it’s a book that was exactly what I needed at exactly the time I read it: Hazel Hayes’ "Out of Love"

I didn’t get to read many books this year. But even if I’d had a large pool of books to select from, I can’t imagine another one pulling me in as deeply as The Night Circus.
