Ward D by Freida McFadden

 A med student must spend the night in the locked psych ward of the hospital.  Things there are not as they seem.

The main character was pretty unlikable.  Good twists at the end.

3 stars.

The True Happiness Company by Veena Dinavahi

 Memoir of a young woman whose depression and suicide attempt lead her parents to a group who claim they can "fix" her and help her achieve happiness.  Instead, the leader leads/coerces her into a series of decisions which take her from the life she'd planned to the life he orchestrates for her.

3 stars.

Read Between the Lies by Jesse Q. Sutanto

 After reading the Vera Wong books, I was really looking forward to this.  I was so disappointed.  The main character was whiny and unlikable.  

Fern was bullied in high school and has let it affect her whole life.  Seriously.  You need to move on.

I only finished it to get credit for the Goodreads Spring Challenge.

2 stars.  (barely)

Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy

 Dominic and his children live on a remote island off Antarctica which contained the world's seed bank.  He is caretaker of the island and the research facility on it.  When a woman washes ashore during a storm, Dom's life is upended, especially since the island has lost communications and the island is essentially sinking due to climate change.

I felt really sad reading about the animals, so I subtracted a star.

3 stars.

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

 We learn about Sybil's life through her letters to and from various people in her life.

4.5 stars.

Two Kinds of Stranger by Steve Cavanagh

Lawyer Eddie Flynn defends a young woman in a triple homicide case.  

4 stars.

The Mad Wife by Meagan Church

 1950's housewife's descent into "madness".  

I really enjoyed this novel.  Unreliable narrator is one of my favorite devices.

4 stars.
