Because besides our share of literature, we also occasionally crave feelgood; the novel you want to curl up with on the couch.

Yvanka van der Zwaan writes about single mother Ava, who leads a particularly cheerful life with her daughter Cléo. Until she almost loses her job, her ex-husband Thijs moves back in, and he also dives into the wonderful world of online dating for the first time. Sounds hilarious, it is. And if you want to keep everyone in the dark about what you're reading, this book has the most genius feature. A multifunctional cover, with the wise words: ‘I only read literature.’ You can go about your business undisturbed, while everyone attributes the furrow in your forehead to another kind of reading.
