|title= 36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You
|rating= 3.5
|genre= Teens
|summary=''Two random strangers. Thirty-six questions guaranteed to make them fall in love. What's not to like?''
Based on a psychological theory, Grant's novel explores the concept that love can be engineered by using thirty-six ''simple'' questions. Questions such as ''What would constitute a perfect day?'' or ''When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?'' are designed to reveal the souls and characters of both participants, enabling them to form a deep connection with a stranger. In a modern world dominated by technology, this face to face interaction is performed to test whether genuine human interaction can give love a ''push'' or will it leave them feeling vulnerable and reserved?

|summary=Hedda is 20 weeks pregnant. It was a one-night stand, so there's no father on the scene. She's 17. She's in the grip of an eating disorder and has been for years. Her best friend recently died. She's living in a grotty flat because her relationship with her parents has broken down. I think we can all agree that the situation is dire.

|summary=Julie Beaufort-Stuart - Lady Julia to you and me, if you please - has just returned to Strathfearn. It's 1938 and her grandfather, the Earl of Strathfearn, has recently died, leaving a mountain of debt behind him. The family's ancestral home has been sold to meet the debt and the death duties and will soon become a school. But, as the contents of the estate and its treasures are catalogued and renovations are underway, there is time for Julie and her family to spend the summer making their goodbyes - to home and landscape and to friends, including the McEwans, a family of Highlands Travellers, loved by the family but hated by the authorities.
