Just scrolling through here for some inspiration - Lindsay is your rating system out of four or five stars?
Do you have any recommendations for something super easy to read that's maybe a little bit feel good? I keep ending up reading dystopian sci fi and it's a bit miserable sometimes!

I use the rating system from Goodreads which goes up to 5 points (it was amazing) but I rarely think books are amazing.
The Comfort Food Cafe series by Debbie Johnson is a good one. I'm not very good at making recommendations though!
There is also a series focusing on a doctors surgery and the community by Penny Parks, The Larkford Series. The first one is Out Of Practice.

Wow! I do generally really like Jodi Picoult but I get dubious if there's a second author for some reason. Is it pretty similar to a normal Jodi P?
No other sadness in the world would do

Yes it is similar to Jodi's usual stuff. The co-author was needed because of her background with one of the themes in the book. It read like it was just Jodi writing.
