Jill Halfpenny's six best books

Jill Halfpenny is a well-known television actor in Great Britain. One of her six favorite books, as told to the Daily Express:

The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick

I enjoyed the film but it wasn’t a patch on the book.

I love anything where the central characters are dealing with mental issues or they’re misunderstood.

If you don’t read much or find it hard to get into a book, I recommend this. It’s short, funny and intriguing.
