Never Been Better by Leanne Toshiko Simpson
3.0
A cute story about friends dealing with mental health issues.
3 friends all from the same suicide hospital ward who grew close and 2 decide to get married
the twists at this wedding vacation type resort turns into a bit of a mess as these 3 learn about life and how to be honest and get through life to only find each ones happiness without leaning to heavily on one another so that the other falls by the wayside.
Suicidal thoughts and actions, bipolar, sensory, anxiety and deep depression is the basis of the book, very informative.

Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden

Another brilliant book by 1 of my top 3 fav Authors Ms McFadden does it again.
With twists that kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation.
I killed my husband! Yup he's DEAD!
What happened. Do I call the cops? Do I run?
Yes I run...
I'm a mess, but I keep running and then get stuck in a snow storm after spending the night hours from home where I killed my husband in a little motel just outside of Vermont.
Nick runs the hotel , he has a boarded up diner and his home is next door inside his wife sits with her MS just watching.
Greta has been a long time resident of the motel but don't forget she's a psychic the story is very creative and filled with suspense and thrills. A must read in my book!!

The Wife Between Us by Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks

It's a very slow burn.
A twisty thriller, it's one that you keep thinking you know who and what's going to happen... But you're so wrong. It's a good read but I did a little bit of skimming but was finally hooked at 60% in.
Great ending.
Trigger Warning. Domestic Abuse.

Bye, Baby by Carola Lovering
4.0
An eye opening novel about friendship, between two women who grew up with and without a silver spoon. It’s a great story about infatuation, survival, lies and growing up. Friends get us through life, but they do come and go as we learn and grow. For some people it’s hard to let go of the friends we know we no longer have anything in common with or those who are just filled with childhood memories and nothing else.
Bye, Baby is not what you think the title means and it’s beautifully explained at the end of the story.

The Baby Left Behind by Jen Craven

Totally gutted reading this story!
It's a great story about adoption and unexpected pregnancies between two women.
It's heart wrenching and realistic with how it is for someone wanting to have a child so badly only to deal with let downs and years of waiting. Family and friends are our true source of strength in this beautiful twisty story. Do I agree with some certain things ? NO!! (with the courts) absolutely not but who are we to judge? right! I felt a connection after wanting my own children which only made me love this story even more.

A captivating story full of suspense.
Victoria had it all, a beautiful home, an successful husband who loves her until...
a horrible accident leaves her immobile and unable to talk or even dress herself.
Hubby hires lots of help to cook, clean, care for Victoria and even provide her company to sit with her while he writes during the day. One day the help finds Victoria's diary what is found inside is shocking but is it true?
Very enjoyable and always an ending to surprise you each time just like Freida does.
Loved it.

The Perfect Date by Julia Crouch, Julia Crouch
4.0
Heart pumping, nail biting suspense, who is it? Cat and mouse type games surround Caz in this twisty story of past and present.
Caz was using a dating app and her date ended up dead and she’d been arrested for his death, but the charges were dropped. She decides to move back to her hometown to start over and help her Mother. She didn’t expect what happened next to happen again in her hometown.
A suspenseful thriller that makes Caz believe she’s being stalked or framed, having 2 dates end up dead. A mysterious package is delivered to her while she’s housesitting for an old friend that only makes her feel like she’s lost her mind.
Bravo on the ending no one will ever guess
