Best Books For A Lockdown

So I’ve had this post done for weeks. But now we’ve been in lockdown for what feels like forever  I think it’s the right time to post. 

* The Brighton Mermaid 
    * Dorothy Koomson 
        * Two friends find a Murdered woman on the beach, a few weeks later one of those friends goes missing, and 25 years later she’s still missing, and the woman on the beach is still unidentified. 
The Brighton Mermaid is so gripping and completely unexpected that I absolutely love it. 

* Tell Me Your Secret 
    * Dorothy Koomson 
        * Two women are haunted by the same person called The Blindfolder. Pieta was kidnapped by him. And Jodi is hunting him after he says that he’s going to kill those that survived the weekend with him

Tell Me Your Secret takes you on an emotional journey of two women whose life’s have been forever changed by one man. The event changes them forever and now they have to deal with those events. 



* The Ice Cream Girls 
    * Dorothy Koomson 
        * Two teenagers have a relationship with a teacher. He ends up dead. One ends up in jail for almost 20 years and the other is on egg shells all the time.  

When I first read the book I cried my eyes out at the sheer pain the two women have been through. For me I know when a book is good because I read it really quickly and this was one of those books. 


* The Rose Petal Beach
    * Dorothy Koomson 
        * Tami’s life flips upside down when the love of her life is arrested and accused of something unimaginable against her friend. It’s something that Tami could imagine her husbands family to do, but not her husband.

I was really unsure about the book, but as I kept reading its such a heartbreaking book for all the characters involved. 


* The Lucky One
    * Nicholas Sparks
        * When Logan arrives in a small town in North Carolina it makes quite a stir. Especially when people find out he’s walked to NC from Colorado. No one but Logan knows why he’s there. It’s all because of a picture that he found while he’s in the army that people think is lucky. It’s previous owner died after loosing it, and Logan hasn’t since finding it. 

I absolutely love the book. I love some cheesy love with a little heartbreak in it.  



* Safe Haven 
    * Nicholas Sparks 
        * Nothing is as it seems in Katie’s life. Not even her name. She moves to a small town to get away from her abusive husband, falls in love with the local shop owner. Her life before was so different.  
This is such a sad, yet lovely romance. It makes you believe in love again after hard times. It’s such a classic chick lit. 


* The Devil Wears Prada 
    * Lauren Wiesburger
        * Andy gets a job that every girl wants. Yet she isn’t into fashion, and sees it as a stepping stone to her dream job. But soon the bright lights and fashion take hold and she soon finds that she is loosing who she once was. 
This is such a classic chick lit and I love it.  

* The Help
    * Kathryn Stockett
        * Three very different women in the 1960’s who deal with very real problems of racism and social class. 
It’s 100% one of those books that everyone should read not just in lock down.
