Novel Kicks Book Club: In A Thousand Different Ways by Cecelia Ahern

August is here. Whoop Whoop.

Even though the weather can’t quite make up its mind, it’s still the month of Summer and holidays and lovely afternoons reading.

This month, I’ve picked a book from one of my favourite authors.

This month’s book pick is In A Thousand Different Ways by Cecilia Ahern. 

There’s a bit about the book below. As usual, anyone can take part in our book club, whether you’ve already read this or will be reading along with me. The best part… you can do this from the comfort of your own armchair, the beach, garden, balcony.

I have put a question in the comments below to kick off the discussion. See you in the comments.

About In A Thousand Different Ways: 

She knows your secrets. Now discover hers…

You’ve never met anyone like Alice. She sees the best in people. And the worst. She always seems to know exactly what everyone around her is feeling: a thousand different emotions. Every. Single. Day.

In amongst all that noise, she’s lost herself.

But there’s one person she can’t read. And that’s the person who could change her life.

Is she ready to let him in?

In A Thousand Different Ways was released by HarperCollins in April 2023. Click here to buy on Amazon UK, Amazon US and Waterstones.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
