Am I picking books to read at random, knowing nothing about them?

Yup.

SYNOPSIS

Appearances can be deceptive…

I was taught that life is pain. That love is pain. It was unavoidable. Acceptable. I never had anything, or anyone I could count on. Not really. Not even myself.

Until I met Dr Menon…

To the outside world Lauren Taylor’s relationship with her boyfriend Josh is perfect. He is supportive and loving and has been there for Lauren during her darkest moments. But behind closed doors, secrets and lies can be hidden…

And when Lauren wakes up in a hospital bed and is told Josh is missing, those secrets come bubbling up to the surface.

Because the police think Lauren knows exactly what’s happened to Josh; that she could even be capable of his murder…

The only person who believes in Lauren’s innocence is Dr Menon, who has cared for Lauren as his patient for the last few weeks. He can’t believe she’s capable of murder. He knows just how good she really is.

Isn’t she?

REVIEW

I like novels where the main character have an established relationship at the start & we get to find out more about it as the novel develops.

I thought I knew exactly what happened between Lauren & Josh and what was going to happen, so I was wondering why there were so many pages left. Turns out I had no idea where it was going at all.

Some of the characters really annoyed me, but that’s fine. Their actions felt realistic, I just didn’t like them as people.
