A good read The anniversary of an accident with lots of questions and no answers That vital 27 minutes what happened. The book leads up to the memorial and you can feel the tension. Will what lies buried become known You really get to know the character. Just a really good read

Loved the way this book was written. So much thought having gone into writing about the adoption of a lad with trauma and the impact on the family and the boy.

The love between Betsy and her brother

Who would kill a young girl - the fight of a mother to protect her child and grieve the loss another child.

This book was an easy page turner did not want to put it down

This book is much needed. It‘s sheds a light on things a lot of people don‘t want to hear about or don‘t think could possibly happen in this day and age.

The impact of trauma in the moment but also the ongoing impact. Children don‘t always say what‘s going on at home or in groups because they are too scared

Jennie is one courageous woman not from choice but as a necessity for her and her children‘s survival.

Lisa Jewell just gets better. I felt myself rushing to read the page just to be able to find out what was going to happen next. Really felt for Owen where everything just went so wrong. There was just so much depth to this story. It was one of those books where you don‘t want the end to come as you want to see how life continues

Loved this book definitely worth a read. Lovely to see the life of a therapist reflected in the written word. Very relatable. Highly recommend

Enjoyable read. Felt engaged with the characters. Certainly felt for Laura with the pull between motherhood and her love of her job.

Not wanting to give anything away with the storyline. I did have an inkling about what would happen in the middle to the last part of the book but this did not distract from wanting to finish the book and enjoying it

Wow is all I can say. This book is brilliant. I was pulled into the story on page one. The characters are so detailed and as you read the author gives you the connection with another character and it all makes a little more sense. This book gives and gives till the closing chapter. Loved it

This is the first book I have read by Abigail dean and will certainly look out for her next book.

It starts with a school shooting and slowly over the course of the book the events of the day and also the events after unfold.

The characters come to life through the pages with little details added throughout the book which add depth.

Really good read about a town sone characters within the town and what happened on and after day one

Brilliant story line. Kept me guessing all the way through. One friendship group built on so much deceit.

This book is so well written. Although written in fiction it shines a light on what could happen. The story of a family within the aristocracy. It does not matter how wealthy you are things happen that society does not want to hear about. It‘s frightening knowing what could lie below the surface. It would be lovely to follow Rose and the other characters in the book. Left me wanting to know more. Does Rose break free

You know when you pick up a book by Linda Green you won‘t be disappointed and yet again she grabs you at the beginning of the book and keeps you hooked right to that last page. This book is one you don‘t want to turn the last page on.


Brought back my joy of a good book

This book kept me engaged from start to finish. It was important for Greer to return to her family home to understand more about what happened to her sister. This is a story around so many things. The murder of a sister, the impact on the family and also the town as a whole and about friendship and love. The ending I did not see coming. Definitely an author I will follow

Think this Book could be a real help to people in their grief. Knowing that all feelings are ok and there is no time limit to the grief. For professionals working in bereavement would definitely add this to your reading library 📚

I can‘t recommend this book highly enough for those who have experienced trauma and for those working with trauma. Difficult content but written in such a way as to give a deeper understanding of trauma and the impact it had going forward. It gives hope to healing and living with complex ptsd

the topic was very poignant bearing in mind the pandemic. Really well written and made me think outside my own bubble. Did struggle a little with keeping track of the characters. Deeply thought provoking book.

First book I have read in a while that kept my attention all the way through. Interesting plot abs characters. Definitely one for the to read pile

For anyone that wants to understand DID or the impact of trauma either being a survivor of abuse or a therapist working in this area I cant rate this book highly enough. The book looks more at recovery and the obstacles survivors face daily rather than going into the abuse itself.

DID is still misrepresented by media and this book shows the real world for someone who is a multiple

Thank you for being so open and honest in your account.

An amazing book for psychotherapists working with clients with DID. This gives an insight into the world of DID and shows the importance the the therapeutic relationship. Also good for people with DID it can be a scary journey but this book can make it a little less so. There are good people out there. This book captures a truly amazing journey for both therapist and client. Thank you for the generosity and courage in sharing this journey

This was just a lovely read. From start to finish. There were times when I found myself rushing to turn the page to find out what happened. Really wanting that happy ending. A story of life really of love loss friendships family relationships. Of coming together and of partings. It tells of all those conversations we wish we had had and also the miscommunication and parts we keep hidden. Brilliant and lovely

B A Paris,‘s books never ever disappoint and this book is up there as one of the best. The plot is amazing and in my wildest dreams did not see the story play out as it did.. At every point you wonder could it have been. The characters come alive through the pages. Brilliant from start to finish 5 star rating from me

Brilliant book so many little stories interweaving into the big story. I love the way Diane Jeffery builds the characters of her books giving them a life and history. There are so many ways this story could have ended. Kept me guessing till the turn of the final page

This is one book I didn‘t want to end. It just a beautiful story of family. Lizzie comes back to moon farm after the death of her grandma with one plan in place sell moon farm snd carry on with her life. But is this a time to look at the past events and right any wrongs

Linda Green never disappoints with her books I always give a 5 star rating. One moment is just beautiful. It‘s sad in parts as you watch Finn struggle to be accepted for who he is. Kaz enters Finns world and they both help one another find way forward. The story is about love, loss connections and families. Loved it

Really good engrossing book. Jeffery Denver has a way of really getting you to engage with his characters and this book is no different. Great plot. Colt has his own story and answers he trying to find but in the meantime along the way helps others find answers even if it is closure

Gilly Macmillan never fails to write a brilliant plot. Unique storyline which keep me reading till the last turn of the page. There is so many twists and turns iLucy brother vanished without a trace leaving Lucy to invent Eliza. To help her through. Eliza is ever present in. Lucy‘s life through her best selling stories. Lucy is suddenly thrown back into a world of rumour and speculation. A real page turner

This book was heartbreaking but beautiful. So brilliantly written With so much passion and feeling. Vanessa carnevale takes you on the journey with nick and Paige to parenthood. A journey that is looked forward to with such hope for the future but also with the fear of what this could actually mean. The courage and strength of Paige to put the life of her unborn baby ahead of herself. So delicately and beautiful written

What could possibly go wrong working in a beautiful house as a carer/companion for an elderly lady add in a daughter who never appears to have a good word to say and then to find that your predecessors has died an untimely death
Claire Douglas never fails to deliver and this book was no different. Great storyline with some real characters and as always the bit you never saw coming. Engaging and kept me hooked till the turn of the final page

This is probably the first book I have wanted to read while also needing to have my eyes shut to some of the scenes being described. iris has a huge strength of character throughout the book and grasped what she wanted from life without conforming to the expected. The characters come alive and you live some and hate some in equal measure. Definitely worth the read and opens up discussion

I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would. The story follows Vivian ,who was no angel but also had a degree a innocence about her, through her life from a young woman to old age. You meet the people who were important to Vivian and those who have an impact and left a memory good and bad. Just a beautiful read start to finish

Freya is at a really low point in her life when suddenly she is offered a stunning apartment. Can her luck really be changing can she dare to dream of a better future for her. A Really good read I could really get a feel of the emotion that Freya was feeling when things started to happen. The book takes a time to build and to get the reader engaged with the happens at adder house but comes together very quickly at the end

A really good read. I found it a bit difficult at the beginning to get a grip on the characters as in how they all related to each other and who was with who but when u got it I was hooked. The story starts two tears previously after the disappearance of Jessica and slowly you gain an understanding of how that event has a bearing in the characters today. Rowzee who is a strong central charecter throughout is just so real and adorable 💜

Another great book following Detective Kim Stone and her team. on her search for a killer into a world it‘s hard to believe actually exists. How does jake charm people young and old ? What secrets are held behind the doors of the farm and how does it contain so much power for people to drop contact with family and friends. Sinking into one of Angela Marsons books you know you won‘t be disappointed

Pure brilliance. On the surface Alison has everything a family money and a good career. But it‘s what lurks under that. Harriet tyce has created a very real character in Alison she is not perfect by any stretch but who is. The subject matter is powerful and shows how easy gaslighting and emotional abuse happens. There is almost three stories in one a very powerful thought provoking gritty read

One evening out with a group of friends can change the course of people‘s lives for good. A brilliant story which shows how one event which they were all part of has different impacts on the group and on the families. Brilliant portrayal of what the journey through grief can look like with so many conflicting emotions. Can this small group heal or at least find a way forward from the events if that one fateful night. I was hooked

This was a beautiful book pure escapism. It‘s the first book I have read by Paige toon and I was captivated with it from the first to the last page.

Another great book by Louise cavendish. Two couples become friends. Jamie and kit share the morning commute together and Melia and Clare work for the same company but how honest is the friendship. There are so many twists and turns in this book just as I thought I had it so it twisted again. Highly recommend this book

It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did I got a real sense of the characters. Liane moriarty feeds in more about the visitors to Tranquillum House as the book goes in. Each visitor comes to find their own peace but the question is will they get the enlightenment they are each seeking.

There is something special about B A Paris from the moment you open the first page she has you hooked.

The dilemma is another brilliant read. It‘s the day of a party but both Adam and Livia are holding things inside about their daughter Marnie. The party should be perfect it has been planned for years but the weight of the secrets they are each holding takes it toll

Definitely a book you won‘t want to put down.

Brilliant from start to finish. Definitely need your tissues for this one and a free afternoon. A story about family bonds and the need for a sister to find her long lost brother. Really original storyline and characters you will get to know

Really enjoyable read. Remind me if an old whodunit movie. A real page turner with everyone under suspicion

First Mark Billingham I have picked up in a while and I was not disappointed. Clever app lot and lovely to read about Tom Thorne again

Brilliant book full of twists and turns. Just when you think the story cannot unfold any further it does. How far will people go for money? This book certainly did not disappoint and kept me reading

Totally in awe of this woman having the courage to tell her story of therapy. Very honest account of the feelings felt both in the therapy room and in the processing. Such a brilliant book for both therapists and survivors alike it gives hope that there is a way through it

This was a beautiful book. Hitch‘s life has been largely defined on the expectation of others and at the cost of her own happiness. One day a strangers walks into her life and turns its head. Could she dare to follow her dreams and become the person she wants. This book shows the resilience and willpower of one courageous woman. A tale expertly told with a powerful message

Really insightful powerful book following a mother with a young baby following the unexpected death of her husband. Beautifully written looking at her relationships and a future after the worst has happened

Brilliant from the opening page to the closing one. A real mystery. A seemingly quiet tranquil island is holding a secret. On the discovery of a woman‘s body questions are raised as to who it might be and who who would do such a thing. As the book goes on you skywatcher learn the secrets that the island is holding. Heidi parks certainly knows how to keep a reader guessing. This is not a book you will want to put down

Having loved our house I had high hope for those people. Unfortunately I was left wanting more. This was an ok read but it did take me a while. Lowland way sound the perfect place to live until Darren and his partner move in. Suddenly there is noise and renovations and altercations. This could not possibly end well. Friendships in the road are challenged as neighbours deal or don‘t deal with their frustrations

It‘s always good to come across an author that excites you. The housemate was brilliant from start to finish. Megan and Chloe have been friends from uni and move in together but need a housemate Sammi to share the cost. The saying three is a crowd comes to mind and it not harmonious. Friendships are tested. I was totally sucked in to the story and thought I had an idea of the end. How wrong could I have been.
