I love summer!

 

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

This book was on my to-read shelf for a long time before I finally decided to start it. You see, I'm a bit reluctant to read what I thought was a medical drama because they seldom end well. In this case, the husband was already gone so there was nothing that could be done to improve that situation.
To put it in a nutshell I had nothing else to read so I began reading it and my interest was piqued in no time.

The plot was very intriguing and although I didn't like the characters very much, I was willing to know the truth. Halfway through the book, when I was losing interest there was a twist that changed it all and I love it when books surprise me.

All in all, I found the book entertaining but very sad and disheartening. Not the right book to read during a pandemic. It may appeal, though, to strong readers who don't mind darker novels.

When she disappeared by Steph Mullin.

Margo, a recently separated woman, comes back home to take care of her father and finds out that her past is back to haunt her.

 
The characters are both unreliable and unpleasant but the plot will keep you guessing until a final twist that I didn't see coming at all.

This novel is for fans of books that are a bit creepy. I must confess that there were pages I just couldn't read because they really scared me.
If spooky books are your cup of tea this may be a good read for you.

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

This is my second book by Greer Hendricks. I loved An Anonimous Girl but I DNF-ed The Wife Between Us and I don't even remember why. So I had mixed feeling about reading another book by this author. However, despite my initial misgivings, I found the book really interesting and the more I read the more hooked I was.

What a roller coaster of emotions. On the one hand, we have Marissa who made a serious mistake that could ruin her marriage. On the other hand, we have Mathiew who may not be the perfect husband he seems to be. We also have Natalie and Skip who seem to want someone who doesn't belong to them. There's also Polly, a very strange shop assistant. But the most intriguing character is in my opinion Avery, the unconventional therapist who tries to fix other people's lives while dealing with a decision she made in the past.

The plot has twists and turns that will keep you reading until late. The characters are complex and unpredictable. All in all this novel is a must for fans of domestic suspense and mystery in general.

My favourite song from Encanto: We don't talk about Bruno.
