*SPOILER ALERT*By me giving this book 2 starts it could be a stretch. The first 80% was a running life of a crazy person. Apparently Charolette tried to kill herself and since the recovery her memories have been filled in by her husband and what other people tell her. The story is kinda boring. In the first 80% she befriends the mistress next door and her goal was to kill her but make it look like she killed herself when she realized that the man she's been dreaming about becoming hers and thus the lady of the house is just using her. This is also for Char's husband to see too so he can see what happens to cheating spouses. She believes and sees him, her husband have sex with the the maid who is from Japan. Char used to sell houses and her boss seems very concerned about her. The maid is a mix of emotions even to me. The maid gives Char advise about being truthful and trying to get her to remember the past. Char acts crazy by not taking her medication, which she hides in a draw, she cuts herself (so she's a cutter), and acts like everyone might be treating her like she is made of glass. During this time I'm trying to see what is the plot of the story and I think in the end last 20% all is revealed but it's still confusing to me. The maid leaves but before she does she hands Char letters that she was supposed to get rid of so says the husband told her to. Apparently, the husband is getting reversal on the operation he had done. So I learn that the baby Char carries is probably her bosses who was found murdered recently and I wonder if the husband did do it since she was sort of getting back her memories. Also when she had a nervous breakdown the husband knew she was not taking her medication and that she wasn't crazy when she believed that her husband was having sex with maid. My thing is if the maid wants her to remember and was nice to her why sleep with her husband. Oh! and the mistress next door has been there for a year the wife has been dead for awhile. So Char was having delusions. So the story is confusing because it mostly told from her point of view and the truth comes out in the end but it not necessarily the truth as she knows it. I got the impression that there is going to be another book. I won't read. This one was free and I regret buying it. What made it okay is that last part did get my interest but still nothing was resolved since. In the past she might have been trying to get away from her husband instead of being jealous that he's been ignoring her and sleeping with the maid. I don't know what the truth might have been if she continued taking the medication. Psychophilia by Michelle Muckley -I received this book from the author in a giveaway on Booklikes- Charlotte has had an ‘accident’; the problem is that she doesn’t remember what happened, or how she ended up being dragged from a lake as she was drowning. She no longer remembers a lot of things about herself and her life. She only knows what she is told by her husband, Gregory. Gregory is another problem. He used to love Charlotte, but something has changed and she is stuck with a distant man who looks at her with empty eyes. Maybe the pregnancy will make him love her again…. Charlotte is willing to go to almost any length to get back the life she once had. But is it a good idea to go back to the way things were, if she has no idea what type of life it was? This book is like nothing I have read, and has a haunted quality that I really enjoyed. The author slowly feeds the reader details about Charlotte’s past. There were a few slow moments but it shows us what Charlotte is going through herself. I am happy to recommend, and will definitely read some of the author’s other works.
