3. We Were Liars – E. Lockhart
Although this book officially belongs to the category “young adult fiction”, this story looks pretty much like a psychological one. This story is told by the protagonist whose name is Cadence Sinclair. She starts telling about her life, and especially about her summers. Each summer, she goes to this private island owned by her grandparents, and has a lot of fun with the so-called “the Liars”, who are her cousins and friends. This repeats itself until Summer Fifteen, when she has an accident and from that moment on, she cannot remember anything about what happened that summer, and her mother refuses to tell her what actually occurred that day. Two years after the accident, she returns to this island and realizes that some things look different and the Liars behave in a weird way around her, as if they were keeping secrets from her.
You guys need to read this book until the end, since Cadence starts remembering everything that happened that summer, including how she had that horrible accident and why her friends are acting the way they are. The ending of this story is just AMAZING. Personally, I believe this is a really original story, the reader get really into it given the fact that it feels like the protagonist is telling you personally her story and her feelings.
2. Before I go to sleep – S. J. Watson
If you like to feel the tension of not knowing what it is going to happen in a book, you have to include this one into your “must-read list”. How would you feel if every time you woke up, you forgot everything about yourself? Terrifying, huh? Well, this is the case of a woman named Christine Lucas who cannot remember anything about her and about her life every time she wakes up. It is like, during the night, her brain resets itself and it is completely in blank. However, she keeps a diary where it is written everything she needs to remember: her name, her age, and other details like she’s married with a man called Ben, and also that she’s visiting a psychologist who’s helping her to recover her memory. BUT, on one of the pages it is written something incredibly terrifying: DON’T TRUST BEN.
Ok, so WHY CAN’T SHE TRUST HER OWN HUSBAND? You guys already want to know the reason why, right? Yeah, I know. That was exactly what happened to me the night I started reading this book. Each chapter finishes and you will end up like REALLY? DOES THIS CHAPTER END LIKE THIS? And you will not stop reading, I swear.
1. Therapy – Sebastian Fitzek
I have to admit that this is my FAVORITE book ever. This story is focused on the psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, who has a 12-year-old daughter that suffers from some psychological issues, and one day, she disappears from her doctor’s office. Four years have passed, and with no trace of where her daughter is, Viktor decides to stay in an isolated cottage where he intends to write an article about her daughter’s disappearance. During his stay, he meets a writer named Anna Glass who claims that her characters can become real and one of them looks exactly like Viktor’s daughter, and she tells him she has some answers about her disappearance.
So, is this woman actually serious or is she losing her freaking mind? Does Viktor believe her? Or does he know there’s something wrong with her? Guys, I seriously got goose bumps when I got to the end of this book. I DID NOT expect that to happen. This book is absolutely a masterpiece.
