Book Review | Beside Myself by Ann Morgan
*Original post: http://bit.ly/2ehWQVh*
Beside Myself is about Helen and Ellie who are identical twins. Helen is the leader and Ellie is the follower. Ellie was born after Helen she had problems when she was born she had her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck so this caused Ellie communication and functional skills.
I started to hate the character, Helen
because she was awful to Ellie she bullied her and pulled pranks. I felt sorry for Ellie as she doesn't get the attention from their mother. Helen and Ellie as gone through a traumatic event in their life as their biological father took his own life so their mother couldn't cope and started neglecting them. I didn't like how their mother always spoiled Helen over Ellie and Helen always got the best of everything.
The story is all about that one day when Helen and Ellie were out playing and Helen thought it would be fun to swap places and fool everyone around them. But Helen thought it would only last for one day and everything will go back to normal the next day. But Ellie grabbed the chance as she was getting the attention she needs. So Helen life turns upside down and she starts to live Ellie life and she is shocked how Ellie is treated. Helen did try to tell their mother but she didn't believe her and so you follow Helen's nightmare through her school life, home life and through her adult life.
Helen doesn't get the support from home so she starts to rebel and go down the wrong path. You really feel for her and you experience what she is going through as the author writes in the first person.
This book touches on Mental Health and the writing is so true and beautiful as Helen is suffering from Bipolar Disorder. The book gripped me as I wanted to know how Helen's life will end. I keep wanting her mother to realize that she is the real 'Helen'. I won't say anymore as I would like you to read it for yourself.

Dave Franco is similarly good as the horny manservant who, against his better judgment, is easily seduced, while Reilly is funny as the constantly drunk priest, who’s got his own thing going on with the kindly mother superior

ALilLacey (2 KP) rated Edenbrooke (Edenbrooke, #1) in Books
Mar 4, 2019
Yes, a proper romance. A great romance that's clean! Marianne wants to see more of life rather than what she's gone through in the past year after losing her mother and her father needing time away. An invitation to Edenbrooke to be with her twin sister and the family of Edenbrooke brings more than expected including a dashing young man.

If you have Apples To Apples or any of the other plethora of similar games you can pass unless you're really into memes or require nifty pics.

This was quite an engrossing watch for me with a close similarity to the sixth sense, Nicole Kidman is very believable as the protective mother and the supporting actors convincing as the housekeepers and groundsman, this film twists and turns it's way to quite a shocking finale even though the 6th sense broke this ground earlier doesn't detract from the surprising conclusion.

This is the second book in the series. It follows Emily and her brother as they continue out on their journey to save their mother. Again, the artwork in this book is stunning, I had to stop and look at some of the pages that were just art. The author does a good job keeping the readers engaged in the story.

Brillant performances from margot robbie and alillson Janney I remember seeing this on the news so I knew something tonya harding and Nancy kerrigan story.

Not my usual type of film, recommended by my mother. The story is about an unknown Indian maths genius who managed to stun the maths world and Cambridge professors and how his formulas are still being used today. Very good film and you may recognise Dev Patel who plays the main character. Another bit of history that everyone should know about.
