If I Can’t Have You
By Charlotte Levin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After fleeing Manchester for London, Constance Little attempts to put past tragedies behind her and make a fresh start. When she embarks on a relationship with the new doctor at the medical practice where she works, she’s convinced she’s finally found the love and security she craves.

Then he ends it.

But if life has taught her anything, it’s that if you love someone, you should never let them go.

That's why for Constance Little, her obsession is only just beginning . . .

This was a really really good read. I mean from that first chapter you are hooked and need to know how she ended up in the situation, you will not be disappointed! This is a tragic story of loss and obsession it leaves you feeling uneasy and unsure of who to feel bad for. Really good read.

The Rest of Our Lives would appear to be another book that not too many other people enjoyed, but I did. It’s a book where big things don’t really happen and someone (in this case, Tom Layward) is pondering on his life.

Tom has dropped his youngest child at college for her first semester, and then keeps on driving. So, it’s a road trip of sorts. He visits people from his past, not really knowing what he wants from them or from himself. Tom is at a crossroads in his life: should he leave his wife as he promised himself 12 years ago when she had an affair? What’s he going to do about his job? And should he see a doctor about his health concerns?

It’s a meandering tale up to the point where he’s in hospital, and then the story would seem to have more purpose. I liked it, but then I’m one of those people who finds the minutiae of people’s lives quite interesting!
