56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard

It's the year 2020 and Cia lives in Ireland. Covid-19 is making its rounds and they are about to go into lockdown. 

Cia meets Oliver and they start a romance. Oliver suggests Cia moves in with him during the lockdown and she agrees. Living together slowly reveals truths and Oliver isn't who he claims to be. 

A decomposing body is found inside Oliver's apartments. Detectives are left with a mystery on their hands and the lockdown might have just made it possible for someone to get away with the perfect crime.

There are several timelines taking place and multiple point of views luckily Howard does an excellent job and making them all flow. I didn't see some things coming which made the read exciting and fun. 

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

 The Riva family is not your average family. They have had more than their fair share of tragedy but they have also had love and one another. 

Their story is told in two portions. The first half is the story of Mick Riva, before he was famous and his wife June. It's a story of love, happiness and then heartbreak and pain brought on by fame. 

The second portion is about the Riva children. The love they have for one another and the unbreakable bond these siblings have even when they are tested. 

The characters are unique and each with an interesting story to tell. 

I wouldn't classify this is a favorite book or one I would reread but it's good enough to pass the time. 

The Damage by Caitlin Wahrer

 

Nick has been sexually assaulted. It was violet and left him battered. Tony is Nick's bigger and older bother. He is filled with rage and the urge to protect his brother and seek revenge.

Tony and his wife support Nick and when Nick's attacker is arrested they think justice will be served but will it be? 

The story is told in multiple perspectives and timelines. It can get dark as it deals with a lot more than sexual violence. It is well written and full of twists and turns.
