Now You See Her: The bestselling Richard & Judy favourite

Product Information

I can't resist a body-swap book, but thought this could have swapped out a few plot elements for a better story. This book I was wary of, just because it was a stand alone co-written book and I wasn't sure whether this would be as awful as the other recent ones, but I needn't have worried. This book had me hook, line and sinker from chapter one. So well written, you feel all the emotion and turmoil Harriet goes through. And how much a true friend can support. Truly heart wrenching, but also a story of love and loss. Exceptional book, fast paced and gripping." As for the main character, I don't know that I liked her. For somebody who spent her time watching other people with mental illness, I think she could have used some counselling.

In “Now you see her,” James Patterson tells the story of a mysterious woman named Nina, who’s running away from her old life and secrets which can ruin her life in the present. The story starts off when Nina, a single mom, shows a video recording to her sixteen-year-old daughter of her father wishing her a happy birthday. Only it’s not her father, but an actor hired by Nina. For whatever reason, Nina does not want her daughter to know the truth. I want to preface the rest of this review by saying, this book PROBABLY wasn't for me. Just reading the summary made me groan internally. I was absolutely riveted by this book! I didn't want it to end. The book deserves more than 5 stars."

Amelia’s car breaks down in the middle of a severe thunderstorm and she is stranded on the side of the road. A stranger offers to help and attempts to abduct her. She gets away and runs into the road, trying to signal down an oncoming car during the torrential rain, but is hit instead. This twisty mystery starts at a tennis match, moves next to a car accident, and moves to a hospital where one girl wakes up in another girl's body. Amelia has just found out that her family - her mother, her sister, and herself - are getting ready to move again. This will be their eighth move in fifteen years. Amelia has given up on making friends but she hasn't given up playing tennis. That is one thing that she has been doing since she learned as a six-year-old. She tries a little magical thinking and hopes that winning the match will convince her mom to let them stay. That police officer was Peter Fournier, a successful transplant from the Boston area. After hearing the sad story of being an orphan and the events leading up to her hitting the man, who turned out to be the local drunk/druggie and a hoodlum. He took her in and helped her hide the body. The two ended up married, and Jeanine and Peter became a dream couple: him with a successful career in the police force and helping the FBI deal with drug runners, and she working with a friend who was a caterer.

Book review: Now You See Her by Heidi Perks - Debbish Book review: Now You See Her by Heidi Perks - Debbish

This wasn't a bad book. But it wasn't good either. It's a plot we all read a million times. Marcy takes a trip to Ireland on what should have been her 25th anniversary. But her husband left her for another women, and she goes anyway. People seem to think this odd, but if you have ever made travel arrangements, you know if you have no travel insurance, and you don't go on the vacation, you pay for it anyway. So why not go? Anyway.. Like Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Marcy Taggart has chosen to depend on the kindness of strangers. Following the death of her daughter Devon two years ago (the body was never found) and the departure for greener (and younger) pastures by her husband of 25 years, she has gone to Ireland alone on the vacation that was to have been a second honeymoon of sorts for she and her husband. Nathaniel and Freya had amazing chemistry. I felt bad for poor Harun. He seemed like a third wheel, chaperoning two kids, at some places. Nathaniel, who had come to New York in search of his father gets off the wrong station, walks to park and a girl falls of the bridge on him. I have to say Ms Fielding is one of THE most consistently good authors I've read. I have read around a dozen by her now in the past 2 decades and I've always scored 4 or 5*. Very impressive. See Jane Run remains one of my most favourite books ever. This one wasn't her best but it was still an enjoyable read and full of twist and turns.Marcy Taggart takes a planned 25th anniversary trip from Toronto to Ireland, even though she is separated from her husband and in the process of a divorce. Two years earlier her 20-year old daughter seemingly committed suicide in a canoeing accident, but Devon's body was never found. Now she thinks she has seen her on the street in Cork, and she tries to desperately follow up on that fleeting glimpse of her. She always seems to be one step behind. Will she find her daughter? The story is told alternately from Harriett and Charlotte's point of view as well as before and after the event. We learn that not everything is as it seems on the surface with twists and turns at every corner. Her One Mistake is gripping, suspenseful, thought-provoking, entertaining, disturbing and an engrossing read that at the end will leave you wondering what she thought her one mistake was.

In Joy Fielding's latest novel Now You See Her, we meet 50 year old Marcy Taggart as she's on a tour bus in Ireland. This trip was supposed to have been a 25th anniversary trip with her husband Peter. However, their marriage fell apart after their daughter Devon died. Marcy has never accepted that her bipolar daughter committed suicide - her body was never found. Peter has left her for another woman and divorce proceedings are underway. Marcy has taken the trip anyway - why not? The book starts of with an average Amelia whose car stops on the side of the road. Then she almost gets abducted, but gets away only to get hit by Sophie's car and somehow (mechanics unexplained) switch into Sophie's body. The Deep End of the Ocean was chosen as the first novel in the book club made famous by the TV host Oprah Winfrey, and transformed into a feature film produced by and starring Michelle Pfeiffer. Something strange has happened to high school senior Amelia Fischer. After finding out that her mom is uprooting them for the upteenth time and losing a vital tennis match to all-star rival Sophie Graham, Amelia feels a mixture of anger and disappointment. When she finds herself stranded in the middle of a severe lightning storm and on the verge of being kidnapped by an unknown assailant, she panics and blindly runs out onto the flooded street and WHAM!, directly into the path of oncoming traffic. As fate would have it, she gets hit by none other than Sophie Graham.

Hope was starred in the role of Juliet, in "Romeo and Juliet." Logan Rose, a seventeen year old actor, was starred as Romeo. Hope fell in love with him. They became boyfriend and girlfriend. Hope lost her virginity ( immediately after they became a couple ), and eventually agreed to fake her own abduction. The plan was her parents would pay Logan a ransom so he and Hope could begin a life together. The two came up with "The Plan" ( to move to L.A. or New York together, get married, and become professional actors )and "The Idea" ( to stage a kidnapping, later found by Logan, and get paid by Hope's parents as a reward for finding her ). But something went terribly wrong. It also makes no sense to have the majority of the book in Amelia’s perspective and then to suddenly switch for a few chapters to Sophie’s. Why? If the author wanted to explore both perspectives do it equally, look at Sophie before or after the event not just for 3 chapters after we have found out the events of her life.
