It would be exciting to uncover the mystery of what really happened eight years ago alongside Emma. Thanks for the review!

Sounds very intriguing and promising, in my opinion, because I have always liked stories that offer a bit more than entertaining mystery. According to the description provided in the review, I already anticipate some education from the psychological part of this thriller and quite interesting insight into human nature. Thanks and congrats on BOTD!

"Drawn from Life" by Sarah P. Blanchard is a psychological thriller centered on Emma Gillen, who is haunted by guilt and lost memories after an accident that killed three people eight years ago. Her cousin Lucy, reappearing after a long absence, becomes a key to unlocking Emma's memories. The book skillfully explores trauma and psychological wounds, with well-developed characters like resilient Emma and quietly effective Chaz. The gripping narrative and vivid descriptions make it a standout read.

A psychological thriller. It is not my cup of tea. But the cover looks like a secret saying hello. Congratulations on BOTD title.

I wonder what cousin Lucy will bring into the picture. Why did she wait eight years before coming forward? The wannabe sleuth in me is intrigued.

Hi @Sandeep Moses Arulnesan, I just read your comments on the official review of "Drawn from Life" and I found the book to be very well-written with great character development. I enjoyed the sample and the official review, and I plan to read the entire book. I want to learn what really happened in the accident that Emma cannot remember. As with most book the use of profanity is not necessary, and it will offend some readers but with this book it will not stop me from reading the entire book. @Mrlefty0706
