Following my heart, one book at a time...
MARITAL STRIFE ALERT!! YOU KNOW THIS IS MY CATNIP (in booooooks!! Only in books!!!!). GAHHHH!! But this trilogy is rocking the Amazon charts and I’m reading book #1 as we speak, and so I thought I’d post the whole thing, right here, in case you want to read it with me too.
The rules are simple:
They will each date someone new once a week.
They will never discuss what happens on the dates.
Soon, though, the rules are broken, turning terrible mistakes into unspeakable consequences…”
The Push: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel <— 5-STARS OF HOLY MOLY —> EXACTLY UP MY DOMESTIC-THRILLER ALLEY!!!! Wow… what a writer. I loved every single introspection, every observation, every hesitation, and despite some bone-headed moves (and misunderstandings) it had me hooked! I did not devour it in one sitting, but boy did I want to, and that, to me is the mark of a book I’ll never forget.
Michele G: Two other favorites I read recently – – The Push by Ashley Audrain….Oh.My.God….this book can’t even be described. Let’s just say “buckle up”! (Also, I did the audio for this and it was great!!!)
The Helper <— I couldn’t resist one clicking this one. Cover… appealing, title… intriguing, and OMG!!!! WHAT. A. BLURB. JOLT!!!!! I was SO IN.
I mean, who could resist a down on her luck, single mom (recently out of a financially and emotionally abusive marriage), struggling to keep custody of her daughter due to poverty circumstances and being offered a unique job. I was already in, for that – I love a good hardback story turned into a success story!!
But… what could she possibly be hired for that was so outrageous? What was going to turn her life upside down?? I wanted to go on that ride with her SO bad and so… I did.
Zohra needs our book help! Oh my!!!! Psych-thriller & marital strife AND a sordid affair to boot? This sounds right up my alley, and while this description below gives a ton away, it makes me want to read it because it’s book #1 in a duet and I have NO idea how book #2 goes. So now I want to know too.
She asks:
Can someone please help me find this title. It’s a psychological thriller.
The book consists of a couple who had a child. The wife thought that her child was a stillbirth as her husband told her but she never stop suspecting that the child might be alive.
TASHA’S LATEST PSYCH-THRILLER RECOMMENDATIONS!! She’s been my go to for years now for all things twisty and jaw-dropping (I’d even say I discovered my love of psych-thriller because of her). And now my book twin just rocked my world with one of her past psych-thriller recommendations (Book Review – The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark) and she’s got a mini list of more!
Tasha J: So glad you enjoyed it too!
Maryse: So what latest must-read thriller do you recommend next? 😉
