Clever and engaging…
⏰ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫: Barely successful writer Lowen Ashleigh lands the plum job of a lifetime – taking over writing novels for millionaire writer Verity Crawford who is “unavailable.” (Unavailable is code for brain damaged and mostly bed-ridden from a car accident.) Lowen moves into the house to pour through Verity’s office in the hope of finding outlines, story notes, etc., but instead unearths an autobiography, one that reveals secrets never meant to be read, all while she’s slowly falling for Verity’s husband…
💡𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:I had my entire review written and it was deleted (cue tears)… but here’s the gist – this was riveting. Read it in 2 days and vastly enjoyed the twisting plot. I’m a sucker for these psychological, gripping tales. Odd sort of tie to Jane Eyre, if Jane knew about Mrs. Rochester (I couldn’t get that parallel out of my head). The plot is the best part – fast-paced, tons of twists.
Characters to me were the weakness. Lowen is a bit too damsel-in-distress, which made her slightly irksome for me. Jeremy Crawford elicited “meh” from me.
No doubt the plot is the star of this mega-hit book.
