the title? misleading. the ending? unhinged. short, fast-paced, and gave me a jaw-drop moment at 2am.

he’s the cheater… but is she the killer? gave big ‘i know something you don’t’ energy. toxic characters, but couldn’t stop reading.

locked in a house + secrets unraveling = instant page-turner. twisty without being confusing. also... therapists are wild in thrillers.
Never Lie by Freida McFadden

just when i thought i knew where it was going… plot twist. creepy, addictive, and slightly unhinged (in the best way).

Fictional Love > Real Life

for when you want butterflies, banter, and a book boyfriend who sets the bar unrealistically high. these romances live rent-free in my head.

healing, flirty, and a little more emotional than you’d expect. fake dating but make it trauma-informed.
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

time-travel, grief, healing, and slow burn romance? this one’s dreamy, sad, and somehow still cozy.

this is messy, funny, and kinda therapeutic if you’ve ever been with someone who sucked. felt like watching a romcom with wine and snacks.
