1. Watch The Edge of Seventeen.
I rented this charming little film just a few weeks before it became available on Amazon Prime video, and I enjoyed it so much I'm not even sorry I spent actual money on it. Fans of Juno and Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl will love this coming of age about a grumpy but witty teen trying to sort her life out, story starring Hailee Steinfeld.
Watch it on Amazon Prime in the UK.
Or, check out Atypical on Netflix – I happily binged all eight episodes this week.
2. Read Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart.
I read this new thriller from We Were Liars author E. Lockhart in one night – told in reverse and heavily influenced by The Talented Mr. Ripley, Dickens novels, and superhero origin stories, its twisty, jetsetting plot is guaranteed to suck you in and give you a sweet weekend escape.

If you can get to London, book for Ink. Emma says: "Ink is one of the best shows I've seen this year, if not ever. It's funny, gripping, brilliantly produced, the acting is phenomenal and I was genuinely enthralled for the entirely of the two acts – a rare feat when you have an attention span like mine. Go now before it sells out."
Book here. If you can't make for a live performance, check out what shows NT Live may be streaming to the cinemas near you.
