June Reads

June was a bit of a crappy month for me. I suffer from chronic migraines and I had back to back migraines that left me nauseous and groggy. I got signed off work for three weeks. As a result I’ve not read many paperbacks or kindle books, but I have read loads of audiobooks, making the most of my BorrowBox account. I had a lot of books on my TBR pile so instead of reading them in paperback format I searched for the audiobooks. Here are my reviews for June: One Step Behind by Lauren North A paperback book read between 09/05/2024 and 08/06/2024 4⭐ This book is written as a narrative of two key characters, Jenna, a doctor and mother of two who is being tormented by a stalker. The other character, Sophie, is the sister of Jenna’s stalker. The stalker leaves macabre dolls on Jenna’s doorstep, sees him looming in the shadows and is at breaking point. Then one day her stalker is brought into A&E whilst she is on shift and everything changes.  This is another great book by Lauren North....
