Story
Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can't move. She can't speak. She can't open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn't remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from 20 years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Story
In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

Seeing your parents for who they are
Funny and sweet YA novel about a boy dealing with a father who disappears. The humor kept the mood light even while dealing with heavy subjects. There is a subplot involving the main character's ability to see ghosts, but the supernatural element never really went anywhere and the story could have worked just fine without it. The narrator has a thick British accent authentic to the character and he spoke with a nice rythm. some people might find him hard to understand. I would recommend listening to the sample before purchase.
