{{newreview|author= Dina Nayeri|title= Refuge|rating= 5|genre= General Fiction|summary= Sinking boats in stormy seas, national borders boosted with barbed wire, and overcrowded shelters – the media's portrayal of seeking asylum focuses on the process in its darkest, most dangerous form. What happens after tumultuous journeys and temporary shelter is not news; and life after decades in the new country is rarely headline material either. But in Dina Nayeri's ''Refuge'', it is the life after that takes centre stage. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>0735219389</amazonuk>}}

|title= The Threat Level Remains Severe
|rating= 3.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary=Grace Ambrose isn't Brigitte Jones, honest; for one thing she doesn't keep a diary. Grace is our typical misogynistic Hollywood stereotype supporting female character. She is the ''secretly hot chick'' who will suddenly take off their glasses, shake out their hair and reveal themselves to have been beautiful all along. We follow Grace and her romantic adventures (and misadventures) over three years of her life at the House of Commons.
