My book for today is: My Dark Self by Jessica Huntley
Publication Date: July 1, 2021
Two people sharing one body. What could possibly go wrong?
“My name is Josslyn and I’m a psychopath. Actually, that’s not technically true … let me explain.”
Josslyn is a mild-mannered vet who prefers animals to people. Alicia is a ruthless and psychotic killer. But there’s a problem … They are the same person.
When Josslyn finds a clue as to who Alicia really is, she sets out on a mission to discover the truth and hopefully get rid of the psychopath in her head before she kills again.
However, Alicia has her own agenda and isn’t afraid to mess things up for Josslyn. She wants control of their body and won’t rest until she gets her way.
Someone is stalking them and clearly knows more about them than they do. Will Josslyn and Alicia ever be able to see eye to eye and work together to overcome adversity?
First Sentence:
My name is Josslyn and I’m a psychopath. Actually, that’s not technically correct. I have psychopathic tendencies (don’t we all a little bit?) and a personality disorder. No, wait. That’s not right either. It’s difficult to explain. Let me start over. My name is Alicia and I am a psychopath.

‘Did you tell the police about it?’ ‘Nope, didn’t seem important at the time. Probably one of those scams or cold-calling things.’ ‘Right. Did she say anything about the calls to you?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘Did you ask her?’ ‘Nope.’
Today’s Question Is: – Do you use a book’s synopsis for your review? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
A: Yes, sometimes. I like to write a review on how the book made me feel, and just my thoughts. If that makes any sense. 🙃
