A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé, Peter, told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it… right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

Which is how Daphne begins her new story: stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned-up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex… right?

Daphne got dumped by her fiancé Peter a few weeks before her wedding as he was in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Daphne moves out of the house and start living in the same apartment as Petra’s ex-boyfriend Miles Nowak. Daphne and Miles were both heartbroken. Soon, they both start fake dating when they got invitation to attend Peter’s and Petra’s wedding and while they were fake dating both Daphne and Miles get to know each other and soon, Daphne realizes that her true love might be Miles…

I usually read most of Emily Henry’s novels. My favorite Emily Henry’s book is Happy Place but I actually liked Funny Story. It was funny, humorous and also I like how the chemistry between Daphne and Miles developed throughout the story. Daphne also started making new friends, her co-worker Ashleigh and how Miles allow Daphne to experience things that Daphne has never experienced before. It was like you are watching a cute romantic story on TV and that is how I felt when reading Funny Story. Overall, I actually enjoyed reading this book and worth four stars.

Someone stole my little boy. I’ll do whatever it takes to get him back…

Staring down at the sweet baby in my arms, I feel panic instead of love. Because this isn’t the child I gave birth to. My husband whispers to the midwife. They all think I’m going crazy. But the tiny boy in my arms is crying again. I’m he knows I’m not his mummy. And I’ll do whatever it takes to get my son back.

I did it. I swapped my baby with another newborn in the hospital. As I hold the child in my arms, I hear my own little boy start to cry on the other side of the curtain. My heart is shattering into a million pieces.

I know I had no choice. I didn’t want to do this. But no one can ever find out the reason why I swapped my baby. Because if anyone knew the truth, my life and my child’s life would be in danger…

Number 1 bestselling author Daniel Hurst is the master of fast-paced thrillers with twist after twist. The Baby Swap is an utterly addictive, page-turning read with a jaw-dropping ending for fans of T.M. Logan, Freida McFadden and B.A. Paris.

Jade ad Avril are pregnant and enter into the same hospital to give birth. After giving birth, Jade on a whim decided to swap her own baby with Avril’s baby–an act of revenge she wanted against Avril for something that happened seven years ago. As they went to their respective houses, Avril feels that there is something wrong with her baby. While her husband Bobby dismisses that Avril might be suffering from post natal depression, Avril believes that her baby is actually not her own baby. Meanwhile Jade lived in fear that Avril might realize that she had swapped the babies.

This was a chilling thriller and quiet a page turner as well. The story is told in both Jade and Avril’s POV. The event that happened seven years ago is also told in Jade’s POV mostly. Avril is fearing about karma as she knows that she has done horrible things in the past and had hurt someone badly while Jude lived in fear that the police might come at the doorstep and arrest her for swapping the babies. I like how the author balanced the emotions of both the women in the story. The ending was quiet unpredictable and unexpected and I thought Avril deserved that ending. And of course, Jade may have flaws but I found myself sympathizing with her more than with Avril. Overall, this was a brilliant thriller written by Daniel Hurst and really enjoyed this thriller. Worth 4.5 stars!

When we move to the exclusive Cutters Island, my life changes overnight. Dressed like the perfect wife, pushing my baby down the street in her pink stroller, I look up and smile at the security cameras. Because I know they are watching. And for now, I need to play my part.

I wake up in my beautiful bedroom and instinctively feel for my husband. But the silk sheets are cold—he hasn’t come home. Reaching for the baby monitor on my nightstand, I scan the screen for the familiar shape of my sleeping daughter. But she’s not there.

Moving through the house in the darkness, I tell myself the footage is just grainy. I pass the large window over the stairs, and see a light on in my mother-in-law’s house across the street, as if she is watching. The thought sends a chill down my spine and I start to run. And as I open my daughter’s bedroom door, my worst fear comes my baby is gone.

As I collapse onto the carpet, I smell smoke. And when I turn to see flames licking at the banister, I know this is my fault. I am paying for what happened that night all those years ago…

Because I am not a perfect wife.I am not a good mother.But I am the perfect liar.

No one knows what I have been through to get this life. And they shouldn’t underestimate how far I’ll go to get my baby back…

We also have some snippets of past, which will explain about Amelia’s past. The story was engaging, and intriguing and will definitely put the reader on the edge.

The Maid’s Diary – Book Review

Plot:- 5/5 Writing:-4/5

Overall rating;- 4.5/5

Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping problem. She’s the “invisible girl,” compelled to poke into her wealthy clients’ closely guarded lives. It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child. This makes Kit dangerous to the couple. In turn, it makes the couple—who might kill to keep their secret—dangerous to Kit.

When homicide cop Mallory Van Alst is called to a scene at a luxury waterfront home known as the Glass House, she’s confronted with evidence of a violent attack so bloody it’s improbable the victim is alive. But there’s no body. The homeowners are gone. And their maid is missing. The only witness is the elderly woman next door, who woke to screams in the night. The neighbor was also the last person to see Kit Darling alive.

As Mal begins to uncover the secret that has sent the lives of everyone involved on a devious and inescapable collision course, she realizes that nothing is quite as it seems.

And no one escapes their past

This was an intense psychological thriller–one of the intense thrillers I have read!

Kit Darling is a maid cleaning the houses of the rich. She had a tumultuous past which she didn’t want to remember about. Kit has a very annoying habit–she likes to snoop things around in her employer’s houses. In one of the houses, while snooping around, she discovers something, that makes her remember about her past…

Meanwhile, Detectives Mal and Benoit were called to a scene–they arrive at a luxurious house named Glass House where it has become a place of a violent crime. A witness claimed that she heard some screams at night and Kit was last seen by her. Mal and Benoit must locate the missing maid and find the truth about what really happened in the house.

This was as I mentioned earlier, an intense thriller and unputdownable one too. There were snippets of Kit’s diary where she talked about what she had found in her neighbor’s house and remembering about her own past. Then we come across another character named Daisy who is pregnant with her first child and who starts receiving threatening messages from a mysterious person. Then we have Daisy’s husband Jon who is a womanizer and who is trying to get a promotion. We are curious as to what really happened to Kit and if Daisy and Jon are responsible for the murders or what happened to the mysterious couple Vanessa North and Haruto North who lived in the Glass House? There were twists, there were turns, and some parts that will put the reader on the edge. The ending was completely unexpected that I have to take a moment to breathe…

Overall, this was a great thriller that will keep you up all night–worth five stars!

What if the secret to finding true love on a dating app was meeting them IRL first?

In this witty and fun rom-com debut from Annabelle Slator, rival coworkers become reluctant daters after they’re forced to work together on a brand-new dating app in hopes of winning a promotion—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game.

Grace Hastings’s dream job at the popular “true love” dating app, Fate, has turned into a nightmare. Her boss is a leech, her career is stagnating, and her fiancé has just brutally dumped her. Her hope for finding her own love story is waning, and she feels like a fraud for promoting a concept she no longer believes in. When the company’s CEO offers her an opportunity to earn a big promotion, she resolves to fight her imposter syndrome to show she deserves a seat at the table.

The opportunity? To launch a brand-new app focusing on IRL dating and genuine connection.

The problem? She must develop and test-drive a series of “first dates” with the other person gunning for the job: notorious socialite playboy and Grace’s biggest work rival, Eric Bancroft.

During their disastrous hikes, dangerous cooking classes, and steamy yoga sessions, they begin to realize their stark differences may just be surface level and Eric might just be the perfect person to challenge Grace’s perceptions of love, dating culture, and self-worth.

Grace Hastings seems to be facing downhill–she had a nasty breakup, her career is stagnating, her boss is a nightmare and she has begun to hate her dream job at the popular dating app Fate as she doesn’t believe in happily ever after anymore. However, the CEO offers her a chance for promotion and Grace is determined to prove to everyone that she was reliable and hardworking. However, she has to develop a series of test dates and she has to work with her work rival, Eric Bancroft. Grace reluctantly starts fake dating Eric but didn’t realize that she was going to be in love with her own work rival.

This was a fun read. Grace is a likable character and I enjoy enemy to lovers trope, which suited well for this story. The whole story is well written and engaging and there were some funny parts in the book that will make you love. I also grew to like Eric. I also like how friendship developed between Eric and Grace and then eventually, they for real started falling for each other. This would have been a typical Hallmark movie but as a reader, you would have wanted a happily ever after for both Grace and Eric. There were some spicy scenes in the book as well. Overall, I actually enjoyed reading this book and had fun time reading this one–worth 4.5 stars.

One hen, one stag, one uninvited guest… who won’t make it to the wedding?

Megan Lewis is ready for her big day, but when an unexpected guest crashes her hen weekend, her perfectly curated world unravels.

Beth, claiming to be Jamie’s cousin, quickly charms the group. But when she gets close to bridesmaid Lauren, things take a dark turn, and a game of truth or dare exposes secrets from Megan’s past, shaking her world.

As the wedding nears, Megan realises Beth isn’t who she says she is — but she may be her only ally.

When you can’t trust anyone, not even your fiancé, who can you turn to?

Megan’s friends have organized a hen party for Megan as she is soon getting married to Jamie. However, before Megan sets off to the party, Megan receives threatening messages, that seem to disrupt her party. Not to mention that a woman named Beth, who claimed to be Jamie’s cousin comes to the party. However, someone is set to destroy Megan’s party, including revealing a dark secret about Megan herself, threatening to ruin her party and also possible ruin her upcoming wedding as well…

This was a fast paced thriller and it was actually indeed interesting. The story overall was well written and engaging. However, there are some negative things about the book–the main protagonist, Megan seemed to be slightly naive which kind of annoyed me a little at a series of worst decisions that she is making. And also, the story overall was predictable–the ending was predictable. Although there are some twists and turns, overall, the thriller was far too predicting in my opinion.

However, the thriller was quiet enjoyable and fast paced and overall worth three stars.

First Time Caller – ARC Book Review

Genre:- Romance

Plot:- 5/5 Writing ;- 5/5

Overall rating:- 5/5

A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle-inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison.

Aiden Valentine has a secret: he’s fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, that’s a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight.

Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life-or lack thereof—she begins to question if she’s as happy as she thought. Maybe a little more romance wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending… even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final call between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.

I am so glad that I got approved for B.K. Borison’s latest novel–The First Time Caller. This is the first book of the Heartstrings series and I am so excited to try out this book.

Adrien Valentine is a radio host and he hosts a show called Heartstrings, that talks about love in general. When he gets an unexpected call from a girl named Maya, telling Adrien that her mother Lucie Stone has not dated anyone, Lucie then join the show, telling her the reasons why she wasn’t dating. Soon her talk was publicized and everyone now wants Lucie to have a happy ever after. Lucie agrees to a series of dates arranged by Adrien although she realizes that she is now falling in love with the radio host…

This was a cheesy romantic story. The story is told in the POVs of Lucie and Adrien so you know what each of them think of each other. I like Borison’s style of writing and so the whole story was engaging and thrilling. This has a sense of 90’s and 2000’s romcom feeling in it. The characters Lucie and Adrien are likable characters and I especially like Lucie’s character in the story–she is funny, smart and friendly–someone you want to hang out with. Of course, the chemistry between Lucie and Adrien were sizzling and we all know that in the end, Lucie and Adrien will be together.

I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the second book of the series–worth five stars.

Sally Hepworth, the author of The Mother-In-Law delivers a knock-out of a novel about the lies that bind two sisters in The Good Sister.

There’s only been one time that Rose couldn’t stop me from doing the wrong thing and that was a mistake that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Fern Castle works in her local library. She has dinner with her twin sister Rose three nights a week. And she avoids crowds, bright lights and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be…dangerous.

When Rose discovers that she cannot get pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple.

Fern’s mission will shake the foundations of the life she has carefully built for herself and stir up dark secrets from the past, in this quirky, rich and shocking story of what families keep hidden.

This is my third book by Sally Hepworth and this book did not disappoint me as well!

Fern and Rose are fraternal twins. Fern is a librarian and she has dinner with Rose every three nights a week. She hates crowds, bright lights and loud music. When Rose failed to have a baby, Fern knows that she will do anything to help her sister–she will get pregnant and then give the baby away to Rose. Only thing is she needs to find a man to help her get pregnant. But Fern’s mission to have a baby might ruin her carefully constructed lifestyle and the opening of the deep family secrets…

This was well written. The story is told in the POV of Fern with snippets of Rose’s diary entries. The story is engaging, fast paced and a page turner in my opinion. Though there were not much twists and turns you would expect in a thriller, the story is intense. The story explores deep relationships between the sisters, in this case Fern and Rose. Fern is a very likable character in my opinion. However, the downside is though this was labelled as a thriller, I didn’t see this book as a thriller–more like a family drama in my opinion. There are some surprises and dark turns along the way. Overall, I actually did enjoy this book and worth five stars.

She had lived a lie for thirteen years, and the perfect life as she had known it was about to change forever.

Everyone remembered Sara and Shannon Carter, the little blonde haired sisters. Their Dad was the local GP and they lived in the beautiful house on the hill. Their best friend, Brinley Booth, lived next door. They would do anything for each other but everything shifted on that fateful day when Dr Richard Carter and his wife Pamela were stabbed fourteen times with a pair of scissors in what has become the most talked about double murder of the modern age.

The girls were aged ten and twelve at the time. One, nicknamed the Angel of Death, spent eight years in a children’s secure unit accused of the brutal killings. The other lived in foster care out of the limelight and prying questions. Now, on the anniversary of the trial, a documentary team has tracked down one of the sisters, persuading her to speak about the events of that night for the first time.

Her explosive interview sparks national headlines and Brinley Booth, now a journalist, is tasked with covering the news story which brings to light fresh evidence and triggers a chain of events which will have devastating consequences.

When I was Ten, follows the story of two sisters, Shannon and Sara who after years of abuse from their parents, killed them in cold blood. One of them was responsible for those brutal killings and was dubbed as Angel of Death, spending years in juvenile center before being released under a new identity. The other grew up in foster care system. Now many years later, the media tracks down one of the sisters and do an explosive interview.

This was a fast paced thriller. And it was quiet unputdownable too. The story was intense and there were many twists and turns along the way. The abuse that both the sisters went through, particularly Shannon was actually disturbing to read. The writing was great and I was literally immersed into the story. The pacing was also great and this was actually a page turning thriller. The story is told mainly in Brinley’s POV along with Catherine’s POV and the past that outline the lives of Shannon and Sara. Overall, this was an intense psychological thriller that will keep you up all night. Worth four stars.

The Sun Does Shine – Book Review

Title:- The Sun Does Shine

Author:- Anthony Ray Hinton with Lara Love Hardin

Date published:- March 27th 2018

No. of pages:- 272 pages

Genre:- Non Fiction

Rating:-

Overall rating:- 5/5

A powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit.

In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only twenty-nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.

But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence—full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon—transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty-four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015.

With a foreword by Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times. Destined to be a classic memoir of wrongful imprisonment and freedom won, Hinton’s memoir tells his dramatic thirty-year journey and shows how you can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.

In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested for a series of burglaries and murders which he did not actually commit. In the state of Alabama, he was given the death row and Hinton spent the next years on death row at Holman Correctional Facility. For three years, he remained silent, anger at the unfair and injustice, and watching his fellow inmates, being taken to the death chamber, i.e. the electric chair, known among inmates as Yellow Mama. Hinton started spreading hope, encouragement among the death row inmates, even winning over the prison guards, never giving up hopes that someday, he would be set free as he was innocent.

This was an emotional story and the fact that this was a true story based on Hinton’s own life makes it more emotional and heartbreaking. It amazes me of how much Hinton suffered injustice at the hands of the Alabama’s law–the judges, the prosecutors and so forth. Even there were evidences that Hinton was innocent, Alabama state refuses to released Hinton. Regardless, Hinton never gave up hope, believing in God and of course, Bryan Stevenson, eventually helped him to finally release Hinton from prison in 2015. This was a truly an emotional read to me.

If you are looking for a good non fiction, check this book out. Worth five stars!
