Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton

An astonishingly intense, emotion, and fast paced thriller about a school shooting in Somerset. Rare to find this about the UK. Very grounded in real life events. Gripping and well written

After reading This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay I've been trying to read more medical books - I ejoyed it and it was nice to get a different perspective i.e. mental health and across countries but not my fave

Wilder Girls by Rory Power
I did enjoy most of this haunting insight to a secluded girls school during an epidemic that leaves them desperate to survive, but the ending did not hold up for me and left me feeling massively robbed

The Memory Wood by Sam Lloyd
OMG this is so well paced, breaks off from one POV to another just at the right moment to keep you hooked, plays with timelines but not to its confusing, and goes places I never ever EVER saw coming. Absolutely amazing

Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
Bit disappointing that this book went so deep into the plot of a fair few others books...I know they're old but not everyone has read every single book. Other than that, interesting plot and I enjoyed the mystery

Tuesday Mooney Wore Black by Kate Racculia
A strange little book but it was so different that I loved it. Tuesday was a fascinating character and I was so drawn into the puzzle I felt I was almost hunting for clues myself

The Love Hypoethesis by Laura Steven
I can't imagine Laura ever writing something I won't adore. This is funny and silly while also being full of joy and love and yet still being to talk about serious topics. Loved it!
