Review: Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh


Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Published: March 2018

It is the one year anniversary of the death of Anna Johnson's mother when she receives an anonymous note that makes her question everything about her parents deaths. The previous year both her parents had taken their lives within months of each other, but did they really? When Anna goes to the police with her note, more disturbing events take place and she doesn't know what to do. Full of twists and turns you won't see coming, this book is definitely one to read.

I read this book as part of a buddy read and I loved it!! I didn't see any of the twists and turns coming.

Can you imaging grieving the deaths of your parents for a year just to find out that they might not even be dead? What would you do? Do you think anyone would believe you? I wasn't sure what was going to happen with this book and it's hard to give a concise review without giving away too many details.

I thought I knew what was going to happen in the end and who was behind all of the incidents happening in Anna's life, but I was way off. I couldn't have imagined the ending at all.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who like a thriller with unimaginable twists.

Review: After You by Jojo Moyes

After You by Jojo Moyes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Two yeas after the death of Will Traynor, Louisa Clark is still trying to figure out what to do with her life. With the money and advise Will left her with, she has traveled around Europe a bit and bought a flat in London, but her life still doesn't have much purpose. She works a crappy job and joins a support group. But when she has a terrible accident, she has to find a way to get her life on track and move forward.

In preparation of the release of the third book in the series, Still Me (Me Before You, #3) by Jojo Moyes (Jan. 30th), I read this book to get caught up with the series.

For some reason, I have trouble connecting with Louisa Clark, but I really enjoyed the story overall and I plan on reading the next book in the series in the next couple of weeks.

There are a lot of things that happen to Louisa in this story. There are also a couple of surprises. She makes new friends where previously she had very few. She helps out a troubled youth, she meets a new man, and she falls off a building. One thing is for sure, she is resilient. I do want to see what the next chapter of her life does to her. Maybe it will make me like her more.
