You Said Forever by Susan Lewis


You Said Forever by Susan Lewis

***** 5 stars

Review

This was a really great emotional read which I totally recommend. It is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone, which I did.

Five years ago Chloe was taken from her parents by Charlotte, her social worker as she was being abused. After everything calmed down, she was able to adopt her and they then moved to New Zealand to start a new life.
But unfortunately Chloe's behaviour starts to get increasingly erratic. Are Chloe's brother and sister in danger from her? And is Chloe a danger to herself? How much longer can Charlotte and her husband Anthony put up with this kind of behaviour?

I really enjoyed this book, it brought me to tears a few times. Very well written and I cannot wait to read more of Susan Lewis' books.
5/5 read for me! Excellent!

This was a fantastic read!
Laugh out loud funny. Shaun has a great sense of humour and great wit.
Reading about the characters and the staff who work in The Bookshop in Wigtown and the colourful characterisation of the many strange, charming and downright weird customer's who frequent the shop.
I tried working with the public once, never again!

I cannot wait to read his next book and get back to the cosy atmosphere of the shop, which one day I really hope to visit in person.

Thoroughly recommended, a great amusing read!

Charlotte hopes to make a new start. She has a place at a home with other women and a new job. But things are very hard for her, as she has to learn how to live again on the outside.
But then Sean finds her again and Charlotte starts to remember what actually happened on that fateful day that changed both of their lives.

This was a very good easy read thriller. Once I started reading it, I just couldn't stop and it had me hooked from the very first page.

I have the author's debut novel also to read, which I am thoroughly looking forward to.
Definitely a recommended read from me!
