My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

White Teeth by Zadie Smith
Ladies Lit Squad champion female authors and Smith is one of the best British novelists of our time. The story follows two families in London throughout generations and how their lives intertwine in funny and very clever ways. This book is an absolute classic so if you haven't read it now's your chance.
The New Me by Halle Butler
The protagonist in the book is a temp who is so bored by her mind-numbing job that she starts unravelling. This is a hilarious book and perfect if you're getting office withdrawal symptoms.
Riders by Jilly Cooper
Your mum may have read this and if you haven’t, you're missing out. This classic bonk-buster is laugh-out-loud funny and the main character, Rupert Campbell Black, has the best one-liners. If you’re not quarantined with your partner this book will provide all the romance and sauce you’re after.
