close to me without giving too much away, basically the wife wakes up after falling from the stairs and she can’t remember anything from the past year. she has this feeling that she’s afraid of her husband but she can’t remember why. what I enjoyed about this book is that the chapters were split between the past year and the days after the fall. i kept reading because I wanted to know more about the past year. what memories, crucial ones, was she not able to remember? slowly, through the chapters certain memories are retrieved and as the reader you get an insight into the wife’s life. the ending was bittersweet. *I did find that I was skimming some pages just because I wanted to know the outcome. ** if you don’t want to read it, you can watch the show on @channel4 @primevideouk or other channels. I don’t know how similar the show is to the book 🤷🏻‍♀️ #closetome #closetomebook #bookwormwednesday #readwithmary #reviewwithmary #bookstagram #books #bookrecommendations #triggers #memoryloss #coma #bookreview (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaDr7Fxo1iF/?utm_medium=tumblr

G R I E F W O R K S By Julia Samuel What a book. TW: grief/death Whether you’re grieving, have grieved or never grieved, this book is a must read. Stories of those who’ve lost a parent, a child, a sibling and of those who are trying to process their own imminent death. Some of the stories are heartbreaking and heavy, I found myself putting down the book and coming back to it after a while just to process what I was reading. Samuel, a grief psychotherapist, reminds us that grief is something that we all will go through in life. Death, often a taboo subject, is something many of us stray from discussing. Rather we need to talk about death and understand the process of grief. I’m sure we all know someone who has lost a loved one and maybe we’ve been at a loss on how to ‘comfort’ or ‘support’ them, that’s why the section What Friends and Family Can Do to Help can be helpful for anyone to read and learn from. Learn about grief because many case studies from this book share a lesson on how the individuals have processed the loss of a loved one. It may help you but it may not, at the end of the day, we all will grieve differently. Through the grief, we will (hopefully) come out stronger. #bookwormwednesday #readwithmary #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-6DdsIe-E/?utm_medium=tumblr

FIFTY FIFTY Omg what a book! Two sisters are on trial for murder. The murder of their father that is! The two sisters accuse each other for the murder but who is telling the truth and who is lying? From the beginning of the book, you are given a glimpse of the murderer’s thoughts, you start to doubt each sister, you might even think you’ve guessed which sister is guilty. But let me tell you, until you reach the final pages, you will be gripping the book, you’re not going to want to put it down until you know who is guilty and who is innocent. A book I definitely recommend, I give it: 4.5/5 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 P.S. I did want to add that this book is (sort of) part of a series with the same defence lawyer - Eddie Flynn, but I didn’t know that until I finished this book. #bookwormwednesday #wednesdayreads #readwithmary #booksuggestions #bookrecommendations #fiftyfifty #fiftyfiftybook #bookreview #eddieflynn #unpredicatble #booklover #bookstagram #bookaddict #fiftyfiftybookreview #murderbook #thriller (at Fifty Fifty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsnVEdI5Vb/?utm_medium=tumblr
