This week’s choice is…
You Were Made for This
In an idyllic house in a Swedish wood, Merry and her husband are building their new dream life with their young baby, far away from events that overshadowed their old life in New York. And they’re happy, aren’t they? Blissfully, blissfully happy.
When Merry’s childhood friend Frances comes to stay, Frances barely recognises her old friend Merry, pureeing baby food, baking, living the Swedish dream. But little by little, cracks begin to show in her carefully constructed fairy tale. And Frances starts to see things others might miss. Dark and treacherous things.
And then a terrible tragedy unfolds…

MY FIRST THOUGHTS
I recently featured this as my #WaitingOnWednesday post, which you can find here. The reviews were mixed, because of the style that is is written in, I think, more than the actual content. So it’s a ‘Marmite’ book, you’ll either love it or hate it – there seems no in between. I’m a lover not a hater lol
HAVE YOU READ THIS?
I can’t wait to visit your blogs to find out. Have a great weekend, may your books be with you!
