I feel pretty guilty because yesterday, I barely read anything, and since then, I have been averaging about two or three books finished a day. So, not having read anything isn’t great for my stats, but I’m on my second today, and I have a feeling I can finish it by tonight. My reading lists are helping me in a way because the aim of completing a list helps with the reading slump.
Hey Everyone,
As you know, I’ve been trying a new thing for me, where I share a book I love and provide a free ebook link to it, if possible.
Why did I pick this book?
The novel I picked today was the winner of the audiobook battle post, and to my shock, I enjoyed it a lot even though I listened to it at a slower speed than I’m used to with sound effects. So, it was very well done. I loved how the author inserted a line or two on topics like religion and social issues but left it open to the reader how much they want to think. You can guess a twist is coming, but I never managed to guess what it was, so there was an element of surprise to look forward to. I don’t want to say more due to spoilers.
First Lines:
If all we need is love, why do we always want more?
I dial her number. Again. Finally, she answers.
“I’m on my way, almost there,” my wife says without me having to ask. I can hear that she is driving, so she is heading home, but almost there sounds like a lie. She has a habit of stretching the truth into something more agreeable these days.
“You said you would be here,” I reply, sounding like a petulant child instead of a grown man. “This is important to me.”
Goodreads Blurb:
Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible — a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.
Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.
