In today’s episode my guest is the wonderful Matt Cain., I have been chatting to Matt on Instagram for such a long time so to get to speak to him about his books and the books that he loves was such a treat. We talked about all of Matt’s books but especially about his latest novel

One Love which comes out on 18 January and is an absolutely brilliant read.

We talked about the five books that have shaped Matt’s life and three of them are also favourites of mine.

Matt’s Desert Island Book choices are:

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by CS Lewis

Kiss of the Spiderwoman by Manuel Puig
