Forget Me Not

The story goes back and forth between Helen's and Paul's past and present, with the present occasionally referring back to the previous chapter. The story is not as psychological as I had anticipated and I struggled to connect with the characters. I am also a bit confused about the outcome. Nonetheless, the story is well written.

The Lodge: a gripping psychological thriller door Miranda Rijks

Anna and Joel go to a safari lodge for Joel's interview and Anna encounters her ex. The story predominantly follows Anna's first-person perspective as her gut instinct is the encounter is not a coincidence. Anna speaks to the readers, providing her thought process as well as background information whenever relevant, making for an informative read. Both the present and the past are written in the present tense and readers read the narrative in real-time. A personal pleasant way to read since nothing in the future can be foreseen and readers learn what happens at the same time as the characters.

Roses Are Red door Miranda Rijks

rounded up from 3.75.
Could have been at least 4.5 if Lydia (main character) was not such an idiot. OMG how can one person make so many poor decisions? Lots of little annoying inconsistencies but it was fun reading anyway. I'm trying hard to just read and enjoy rather than acting like a Monday morning editor. Will follow-up with more of this author's works.
