“Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain.” This attention-grabbing blurb promotes Sophie Kinsella’s What Does It Feel Like? ($13.99). Beloved for her bestselling rom-com novels, including Confessions of a Shopaholic, Kinsella disclosed last year that her real-life brain cancer diagnosis had inspired her fictional novella.
