The Other Girlfriend by Alex Stone

My second tour with Rachel’s Random Resource's is a thrilling book by Alex Stone, The Other Girlfriend. The cover alone was enough to draw me into this book!

She loves him…

Lizzie Green once loved Tom Murphy with a passion that bordered on obsession. All she wanted was his love to be returned. Then one night something terrible happened and Tom left Lizzie broken hearted. She swore she would never let him hurt her again….

She loves him not.

Now, ten years later, Tom turns up on Lizzie’s doorstep still as charming as ever. Lizzie knows he still has the power to break her heart and destroy her life again. But Lizzie can’t say no to him….

Can she?


Review:

This is a wonderful quick read with an unexpected ending. Lizzie struggles with anxiety that stems from her past. Tom, her childhood friend, was always there for her until he wasn’t. Now Tom is back and Lizzie has to face her past.

As someone who has anxiety I loved the way the author described Lizzie. Her feelings were written so accurately. I know the point of the book is not to focus on anxiety but if you or someone you know has anxiety, this book will help describe the feeling. Unless you have anxiety it’s hard to understand what it feels like and why you can’t do things people think you should be able to.
