The Bestseller Charts Analysis


the number one, the response to Valentine’s Day was a litle more muted this year. However, the ultimate Millennial romance, Sally Rooney’s Normal People, climbed back into the Top 50.


Last year also saw


Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt bump up by 9% the week


of Valentine’s Day, offering an insight into UK book buyers’ psychological state around this time of year. A year on, the junior doctor memoir is still yet to drop out of the Paperback Non-fiction top five, and in its wake Ollie Ollerton’s Break Point may also have caught the eye of the anti- Valentine’s brigade, with a week-on-week rise of 13%. And perhaps there was a self-care aspect to the boost for Dr Rangan


Chaterjee’s Feel Better in 5, which jumped 53% in volume and zipped up seven places in the category top 20.
