"Choosing a Cassavetes film was the hardest part of making this list. All his films have continued to inspire me—every aspect of them. He’s one of the only filmmakers where I will put on the DVD just to listen to his commentary. His ideals, his pursuit of the road less traveled—and traveled in a way that is curious, thought-provoking, and dangerous—have always excited me. I take his box set with me to every set. Each film has an incredible backstory, and leaves me thinking, How the hell did he pull that off?! Gena Rowlands is absolutely stunning in every way in this film. And I love watching her and John act together, especially with her drunk during an improvised play for hundreds of extras who showed up because John took an ad out in the paper."

I started the dying for a living set on a whim as the first 3 books were done as a bundle.
I enjoyed the first 3 so much I HAD to purchase the rest to complete the series.

Jessie and Alice are definitely my favourite 2 in the book. Followed closely by Masie.
The story takes huge twists and turns and each event keeps you on your toes.

Being brutally honest I felt the start of book 1 to be quite slow, that's just my personal preference. However your able to gain insight regarding the lead character very early with extra snippets through the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed following Jessie's journey and was pleased to see she got her happy ending after all!

I will be reading all the books again in the future as I found it enjoyable and deeply thought provoking.

Oh, the feels

Trigger warning for this short, powerful book. There's abuse, emotional trauma, mention of suicide and stalking.

Flawless Witness is eye opening for both victims of a narcissist and people who have managed to avoid this kind of relationship. It opens the reader's mind to looking a little deeper when talking to people.
    It reminded me of a short relationship I had with a man like that, controlling, always playing the victim and self-centred......just like Jonathan.
    Suzanna is great, she's relatable and down to earth. The questions she asks herself and how she works her way through things shows the strength of character she has. Also how important a good support network is.

A thought provoking read that I'd recommend for daytime reading so there's plenty of thinking time. Also, book group worthy, would make for fantastic conversations.
