Book Description

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband―and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations―a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

My Thoughts

This was brilliant. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Theo Farber is one of these characters that you really like and then turns out he is not such a good and likeable character you thought he was. That twist at the end, oh my God, totally unexpected. Still, Theo remained a likeable character for me because he is such a great character that was able to fool me in liking him and believing in him.

The Silent Patient is one of a kind thriller, that amazing thriller that you as a lover of this genre always want to read. What makes this such a great story, for me, definitely, was that unique premise. A silent character, Alicia Berenson, a brilliant painter who is accused of killing her husband Gabriel, and after that she goes silent, never speaks again. Until Theo is brought to the picture and well, the rest, you will have to read it to see how brilliant the story is, that mind blowing twist at the end.

The hype for this book was overwhelming, saw it everywhere. I was a little hesitant to read it, specially being a debut novel, but this time, it was totally worth it. A stunning debut novel by Alex Michaelides, I recommend it 100%.

Book Description

In this spellbinding and suspenseful debut, a young woman haunted by the past returns home to care for her ailing mother and begins to dig deeper into her sister’s unsolved murder.

Sixteen years ago, Sylvie’s sister Persephone never came home. Out too late with the boyfriend she was forbidden to see, Persephone was missing for three days before her body was found—and years later, her murder remains unsolved.

In the present day, Sylvie returns home to care for her estranged mother, Annie, as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Prone to unexplained “Dark Days” even before Persephone’s death, Annie’s once-close bond with Sylvie dissolved in the weeks after their loss, making for an uncomfortable reunion all these years later. Worse, Persephone’s former boyfriend, Ben, is now a nurse at the cancer center where Annie is being treated. Sylvie’s always believed Ben was responsible for the murder—but she carries her own guilt about that night, guilt that traps her in the past while the world goes on around her.

As she navigates the complicated relationship with her mother, Sylvie begins to uncover the secrets that fill their house—and what really happened the night Persephone died. As it turns out, the truth will set you free, once you can bear to look at it.

The Winter Sister is a mesmerizing portrayal of the complex bond between sisters, between mothers and daughters alike, and forces us to ask ourselves—how well do we know the people we love most?

My Thoughts

First, the cover. Caught my attention from the beginning so did the first few pages and was that way until the last page. What an amazing, suspenseful, intriguing, engaging debut novel. Kept me guessing until the end. I've come to love that about thrillers. 

The Winter Sister has all what I always look for on this genre, believable characters and quite a few unexpected twists along the way. I enjoyed it a lot. It was very interesting to get to know these characters, and how their family dynamics changes after Persephone, Sylvie's sister was found dead. How Sylvie and her mom's daughter-mother relationship breaks apart not only because of Persephone's death but also because the mom takes on alcohol as a way of coping with the pain and suffer. How 16 years later Sylvie has to go back to her old town, her mom's house and to a mom on the way to die of cancer while having to face again, after all these years, the one person she strongly believes killed her sister, Persephone's old boyfriend, Ben.

I loved The Winter Sister. I devoured it in a week. A wonderful debut thriller. The writing  is so unique for this genre, almost magical. Totally recommend it.

Book Review: We Are Displaced by Malala Yousafzai-Nonfiction/Autobiography

Hello dear Readers,

Below my book review of We Are Displaced by Malala Yousafzai.

Title: We Are Displaced

Rating: 5/5 Stars

Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: January 8, 2019

Book Description

In her powerful new book, Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times-bestselling author Malala Yousafzai introduces some of the people behind the statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced worldwide. 

Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement - first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who could travel anywhere in the world except to the home she loved. In We Are Displaced, which is part memoir, part communal storytelling, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys - girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known. 

In a time of immigration crisis, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person - often a young person - with hopes and dreams.

My Thoughts

We always hear stories about the Refugees. What you see on social media or the News. 

However, when you read it from the very people that has suffered and continue suffering from having to leave their homes in such painful and cruel circumstances, it does not get any more real than that. That is what makes this book so powerful, because we have the opportunity to hear the story, the real story of why and how, not what can be, could be or may or may not, but what it is, what happened and what is happening. 

I have always admired Malala, since I first heard and read her story and now with this book I continue believing what she is doing for girls, for women around the world is very important, those stories we have the chance to know about on this book are powerful, stories people need to read, to understand.

There were times while reading the book, well, pretty much the whole book, when I couldn't help but think most of us on this planet, like me, we are very lucky we have not gone through what the girls on this book went through. I understand it is really easy to say that but after you read this book it really makes you realize that yes, we are lucky. 

I cried, yes, because most of the time we are so caught up in our own world, and problems, which is not bad, we need to take care and worry for ourselves but we don't stop to think that other people are going through more painful things. I can't imagine what I would do if one day I would have to leave my home, my family, all that I know because if I dont I could die. 

I feel such respect and admiration for all the girls and women on this book. They were able to escape the horrors, they had hope and they believed they could have a better life and more important, they are helping other people going through the same situation. Even though some of them suffered real bad and lost their families but still they have the strength and the desire to help others and continue to fight for a better life even if that means they had to leave everything they knew not by choice but because there was no option.

This book also helped to better understand what Refugees go through by reading the stories on it, and that is it very important to educate ourselves. How we can help and be involved. I did not know for example that people can be displaced, can be refugees in their own countries.

This is a very emotional, powerfull, eye-opening book. The message intended is very clear. More books like this need to be written and known to everybody out there.

Book Description

The next novel of psychological suspense and obsession from the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us

Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.

When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.

Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking…and what she’s hiding.

Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?

As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new novel about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.

My Thoughts

The Wife Between Us, Hendricks and Pekkanen previous book was one of my favorite books of 2018. As soon as I saw a new book was being published I knew I had to read it. Even though I absolutely loved The Wife Between Us but in my opinion An Anonymous Girl was even better. 

In all honesty, I am still thinking about this book , that is how good it is. Every minute, every word is worth the time you spend on it. The characters, the plot, the setting, all of it makes this book a marvelous read. It kept me intrigued, invested in the characters and what I loved the most was that unexpected ending and all the suspense leading to it. I was fascinated how the authors managed the dual POV, going back and forth between the two main characters, the amount of detail they put into it without being boring or adding unnecessary story lines. I also loved how the subjects of morality and honesty are explored, a very different take from other books which is what makes this book so unique and interesting.

An Anonymous Girl, an addictive, intriguing thriller that I recommend and cannot wait to read more book from these Authors.

Book Review: Once Upon a River: A Novel by Diane Setterfield-General/Women's Fiction

Hello dear Readers,

Publisher: Atria Books

Publication Date: December 04, 2018

Language: English

Book Description

“One of the most pleasurable and satisfying new books I've read in a long time. Setterfield is a master storyteller...swift and entrancing, profound and beautiful.” —Madeline Miller, internationally bestselling author of Circe and The Song of Achilles

“A beguiling tale, full of twists and turns like the river at its heart, and just as rich and intriguing.” —M.L. Stedman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light Between Oceans

“This is magical, bewitching storytelling...High prose expressed with rare clarity, story for the unashamed sake of story, a kind of moral dreaminess…well, the list continues to grow.”—Jim Crace, National Book Critics Circle winner and author of Being Dead and Harvest

From the instant #1 New York Times bestselling author of the “eerie and fascinating” (USA TODAY) The Thirteenth Tale comes a richly imagined, powerful new novel about how we explain the world to ourselves, ourselves to others, and the meaning of our lives in a universe that remains impenetrably mysterious.

On a dark midwinter’s night in an ancient inn on the river Thames, an extraordinary event takes place. The regulars are telling stories to while away the dark hours, when the door bursts open on a grievously wounded stranger. In his arms is the lifeless body of a small child. Hours later, the girl stirs, takes a breath and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Is it magic? Or can science provide an explanation? These questions have many answers, some of them quite dark indeed.

Those who dwell on the river bank apply all their ingenuity to solving the puzzle of the girl who died and lived again, yet as the days pass the mystery only deepens. The child herself is mute and unable to answer the essential questions: Who is she? Where did she come from? And to whom does she belong? But answers proliferate nonetheless.

Three families are keen to claim her. A wealthy young mother knows the girl is her kidnapped daughter, missing for two years. A farming family reeling from the discovery of their son’s secret liaison, stand ready to welcome their granddaughter. The parson’s housekeeper, humble and isolated, sees in the child the image of her younger sister. But the return of a lost child is not without complications and no matter how heartbreaking the past losses, no matter how precious the child herself, this girl cannot be everyone’s. Each family has mysteries of its own, and many secrets must be revealed before the girl’s identity can be known.

Once Upon a River is a glorious tapestry of a book that combines folklore and science, magic and myth. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, the beginning of this novel will sweep you away on a powerful current of storytelling, transporting you through worlds both real and imagined, to the triumphant conclusion whose depths will continue to give up their treasures long after the last page is turned.

My Thoughts

To me Diane Setterfield is one of the best writers I have ever read. The Thirteenth Tale is one of my all time favorite books. I without a doubt believe her writing is stunning, magical. I remember after finishing The Thirteenth Tale I could not stop wondering how any person could write like that. When I saw there was a new book coming I knew I needed it. I was so happy to read something new from the author and even thought I knew there was a big chance it was not going to be the same as The Thirteenth Tale but could not help but hope it would be as good as it. 

Things I like, the unique and characteristic writing style, so neat and beautiful, all the different elements, you can not put this book in one box because I could see a little bit of mystery, magic, fantasy and some felt like reading a historical fiction and that for me shows the capability on the authors' side of combining different elements, however, the things I did not like, the later at the same time caused some confusion, from the beginning it was a slow start for me, I could never get on board with the story, I kept waiting for that "wow" moment that was going to speed up the pace for me but unfortunately never happened. I really hate to say this but the story never captivated me, could not connect with it nor the characters, this was just not the story for me.

Book Review: A Dream Called Home: A Memoir by Reyna Grande-Biographies/Memoirs

Hello dear Readers,

Below my book review of A Dream Called Home: A Memoir by Reyna Grande.

Title: A Dream Called Home: A Memoir by Reyna Grande

Publisher: Atria Books
Publication Date: October 2, 2018

Book Description

From bestselling author Reyna Grande—whose remarkable memoir The Distance Between Ushas become required reading in schools across the country—comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time.

When Reyna Grande was nine-years-old, she walked across the US–Mexico border in search of a home, desperate to be reunited with the parents who had left her behind years before for a better life in the City of Angels. What she found instead was an indifferent mother, an abusive, alcoholic father, and a school system that belittled her heritage.

With so few resources at her disposal, Reyna finds refuge in words, and it is her love of reading and writing that propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now once again estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream.

Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist “speak[ing] for millions of immigrants whose voices have gone unheard” (Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect.

Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

My Thoughts

I did not know about this author until one day when I was at my local library reading through the new non fiction titles on display that I saw A Dream Called Home. Only took seeing it was a memoir and reading a little bit of the book description for me to take it home. I started reading it and after a few pages I knew I needed to own it, to have it on my shelves. I regret about not knowing of Reyna Grande's books sooner because now that I have read A Dream Called Home and being 150 pages into The Distance Between Us I can say without a doubt I love her writing, her voice and the stories she shares with us the readers. One of my favorite writers now for sure. 

A Dream Called Home is a beautifully written, honest, transparent memoir. This is actually the thing I like the most about Reyna's writing, she does not sugar coat things, even the most painful and not pretty aspects of her life she tells them with such honesty that you cannot help but sympathize, to understand that what she went through was real, and even though people are not always willing to put on display the darkest moments of their lives but I love how Reyna does it and to me that adds a lot of value, respect and credibility to her story. Of course Reyna also shares her achievements as a college student, all the people who helped her and encouraged her to not give up on her dream of being a writer, how she somehow always tried to help her family as much as she could, having her first baby, and meeting who is now her husband, her struggles but also the rewards on her writing career as such signing her first book deal. All these plus all the no so good moments makes this book in my opinion a masterpiece of a Memoir.

Book Description

Named a Best Book of Fall by The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, Elle, and more

"This book moved me to my very core. . . . [All You Can Ever Know] should be required reading for anyone who has ever had, wanted, or found a family―which is to say, everyone.” ―Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere

What does it mean to lose your roots―within your culture, within your family―and what happens when you find them? 

Nicole Chung was born severely premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. From childhood, she heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life, that forever feeling slightly out of place was her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as Nicole grew up―facing prejudice her adoptive family couldn’t see, finding her identity as an Asian American and as a writer, becoming ever more curious about where she came from―she wondered if the story she’d been told was the whole truth. 

With warmth, candor, and startling insight, Nicole Chung tells of her search for the people who gave her up, which coincided with the birth of her own child. All You Can Ever Know is a profound, moving chronicle of surprising connections and the repercussions of unearthing painful family secrets―vital reading for anyone who has ever struggled to figure out where they belong.

My Thoughts

In reality, the only thing I have in common with the author is to have been born premature. Other than that, I was never separated from my family. I was raised in a home, with my mom, dad and two brothers. I never felt I did not belong to the place I grew up in or was not equal to the people around me. I felt inferior in other ways such as never feeling I was pretty enough or popular enough, feeling socially awkward or being to shy, things that could never compare to what Nicole went through. 

However, now that I live in a country different than the one I was born and raised and the current state of our political and social world, I can at least have a better understanding of why it was difficult for Nicole, not only the been adopted part but the growing up not looking the same as the majority of people around her, the racism, the differences, the eagerness to feel equal, to know she belonged, all the judgment from society. Reading Nicole's story was so fascinating. The reason I say this is because is always encouraging for me to read other people's stories on how they overcame the most difficult situations in their lives. Too many lessons you can learn and apply to your own life. 

I loved the honesty and openness on Nicole's words. The way she tried to find herself and her born family in the simplest things of her daily life. How she is brave enough to share with us the readers her story, no matter how hard and raw and cruel the reality of it is. I felt so happy when we discovered she finally got in touch with her born family and how the relationship with her sister starts building up and how that helps her to have some sort of healing as well as meeting her born father. Also, the relationship between Nicole's own daughter and her and how they both start laying the path to know more about their Korean roots and culture. 

All You Can Ever Know, a powerful, deep, moving and unforgettable memoir.

A Bustle Book to Know in October

An InStyle 10 Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down This October

SIX FRIENDS THAT BECAME A FAMILY.

A TELEVISION SHOW THAT BECAME A PHENOMENON.
Today, Friends is remembered as an icon of ’90s comedy and the Must See TV years. But when the series debuted in 1994, no one anticipated the sensation it would become. From the first wave of Friendsmania to the backlash and renaissance that followed, the show maintained an uncanny connection to its audience, who saw it both as a reflection of their own lives and an aspirational escape from reality. In the years since, Friends has evolved from prime-time megahit to nostalgic novelty, and finally, to certified classic. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe have entered the pantheon of great television characters, and yet their stories remain relevant still.

I’ll Be There for You is a deep dive into Friends history and lore, exploring all aspects of the show, from its unlikely origins to the societal conditions that amplified its success. Journalist and pop culture expert Kelsey Miller relives the show’s most powerful moments, sheds light on its sometimes dated and problematic elements, and examines the worldwide trends that Friends catalyzed, from contemporary coffee culture to the wildly popular ’90s haircut The Rachel. Taking readers behind the scenes, Miller traces the cast’s rise to fame and untangles the complex relationship between the actors and their characters. Weaving in revelatory interviews and personal stories, she investigates the role of celebrity media, world-changing events and the dawning of the digital age—all of which influenced both the series and its viewers.

I’ll Be There for You is the definitive retrospective of Friends, not only for fans of the series, but for anyone who’s ever wondered what it is about this show—and television comedy—that resonates so powerfully. 

My Thoughts

Thanks to the Instagram book community for posting about this book. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. Friends is my all time favorite TV Show. I can watch it over and over and over again and never get tired of it. 

I love and will always love the show but the feeling I got while reading this book was this is a raw eye opener on the show in general, the characters and all things surrounded it during the ten seasons on air. I don't mean this in a bad way but I don't think I will ever be able to watch the show again without inevitably thinking or remembering all the details described in here. Things that I personally would have not noticed, care about or think of otherwise. 

What I loved how the beginnings of the show are told, about how each actor/actress got to be one of the Friends, how strong their friendship really was off camera. How it is mentioned which episodes are the most powerful because it makes you think about it and also it is good to see how other people share the same feelings about the show, how it was/still is a sort of comfort, escape or just a way to go back to that period of time, the 90's, which for lots of us will always be the best time ever. What I did not like, I did not want the book to end, but oh well, again, will it ever be enough when it come to Friends? Don't think so. 

Thanks you Netgalley and the Publisher for the free Advanced Copy in exchange for an honest review.
