The Other People by C.J. Tudor | Goodreads The Other People by C.J. Tudor | Goodreads

Clare had invited her vibrant new subordinate, Melia, over for drinks, attracted to her zest for life and looking for a way to energize her own. Melia was attracted to Clare’s success.Pros : Pax, Dirk, a semi-realistic high school experience, Asha being a strong female who values art and herself more than romance, and Pax's relationship with his mum. Ohhhh helloooooo you twisted little thriller you...... I loved it! I loved Our House and when Berkley offered to send me a copy of The Other Couple..well I couldn't say yes fast enough. It literally went to the top of my TBR the second I got it. First off the cover is amazing! I'm already not a big fan of plot driven drama. But one of my biggest pet peeves are certain tragic events that only happen to fix things up. First of all, I don't like the tragic event as such. But then, what would have happened without it? It all would have ended in complete misery.

I adored the cast of characters, like a lil ragtag bunch of people who find each other right when they all needed to most. In particular, Pax. Hands down, he’s now one of my all time favourite characters🥹 I had actually never heard of this book and only came across it by chance when I was looking at free ebooks on kindle unlimited, and it was a pleasant surprise! The Other unravels over the summer of 1935 on a farm in the fictional New England community of Pequot Landing. Told from the perspective of two identical twin boys, Niles and Holland Perry, the story centers on a strange, supernatural power bestowed to the twins by their mystical Russian grandmother. The power, called “the game,” is a form of astral projection that allows the boys to view events through the eyes of individuals around them. It's no secret that I am a fan of Louise Candlish's brand of Domestic Thriller. There's something about the way she weaves a tale that I am absolutely addicted to reading. Mulligan never shows the brothers in frame together. They are always separated by a camera pan or an editing cut.

Mary Boleyn/Carey/Stafford: The main character of the story, told from her point of view. Mary is portrayed as an innocent, sexually naïve, young girl who, forced by her family, engages in an affair with Henry VIII under the influence of her sister Anne and her brother George. The novel begins when Mary is thirteen and ends just days after Anne's execution. Enter Melia and, a step or two behind her, Kit, with their winning submission of youth, fun, freedom. Everything Clare feared she was losing. Catherine of Aragon: Queen Consort of England, she has been married to Henry VIII for two decades but they have only one daughter together. A strict Catholic, she puts religious pressure on the King to not divorce her.

The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish | Goodreads

I expected Sal to be secretly bisexual or to get an awakening towards being bi, but I was immensely disappointed by the bi-erasure of this little nugget - "It explained why he had never enjoyed kissing girls much." *sigh* Unnecessary and pointless repetition of EVERYTHING Sal eats or drinks being hotter than Hell. Why? What's the point?Oh my goodness, Louise Candlish what a book! Having read previous books by this author I knew that it would be an adventure but that was something else. That ending...;!!! A psychological thriller with a cast of unlikeable characters and themes of envy and betrayal - I read this in 2 sessions, reading late into the night to finish it. I just had to see how it was going to end, and I was not expecting that! The Other Wife is a suspenseful, domestic thriller which follows the perspectives of three different women, Suzi, Nora, and Elle. They each have a story to tell, but just how closely are these three women actually connected? Nora - Nora's moved into the cottage near to Suzi, she has a devastating past she is desperate to keep secret. And a reason for why she is at that cottage. The characters are a diverse bunch. Clare is a successful partner in a top end real estate company, privileged daughter of a wealthy family and, oh dear, I made her sound 'snobby', didn't I? But she's not. She's quite lovely. Jamie (never James), her partner of ten plus years, used to be a high flyer in marketing, but dropped out after a personal crisis and now froths milk and mashes avocado for a living. Melia works in the same company as Clare, but in a different division. She is young, beautiful, a complete narcissist, (there's a reason her name is shortened to 'Me'), and has that certain something that attracts people to her like moths to a flame. Kit, Melia's partner, works in insurance, when he bothers to show for work. They are both failed actors and live well beyond their means in what they believe to be poverty. Candlish opens the book with the dedication: “For everyone who has ever been tempted to compare up.” Seems pretty clear then that the intention is to examine the old “grass is always greener” adage by way of this suspenseful tale about these four haves and have-nots. It was definitely fun to be a passenger on this twisty, turny ride, even if there was absolutely nothing holly or jolly about it. I’m now game for reading other thrillers by Candlish, whenever she chooses to set them.
