How to Be a Saint is the kind of book I notice because I can imagine the exact reader I would press it on. That is usually my first test.
Kate Sidley has this landing in humor and fiction, and what I want from a book in this lane is something steady, specific, and easy to talk about after the last page.
I do not need every recommendation to be life changing. I need it to know what kind of reading experience it is offering and to deliver it with some confidence. Sourcebooks has it listed for 19-Aug-2025.
That alone makes it feel worth keeping on the radar for readers who follow humor and fiction with some curiosity.
