Fresh out of a psychiatric facility where he was treated for severe depression, Tate is still grieving the loss of his sister Sylvia.

At a charming bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, Tate meets Wren, a captivating young woman who upends his carefully ordered world. Their connection is instant and intense, unlike anything either of them has known. But beneath the surface of Wren’s quiet coastal life, dark forces, jealousy, resentment, and secrets begin to stir, threatening their fragile bond. As Tate digs deeper into Wren’s past, he’s forced to confront truths that challenge everything he believes about love, reality, and the stories we cling to. Sometimes, the most powerful love is the one that asks us to face our deepest fears.

Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Big Kiss, Bye-Bye by Claire-Louise Bennett. Displaced from the city to the quiet depths of the countryside, a woman finds herself suspended in a kind of emotional limbo, haunted by fragments of the life she left behind. Chief among them is Xavier, confident, possessive, and convinced he knows her better than she knows herself. She still loves him, but the desire is gone, a shift he refuses to accept.
Then a letter arrives from an old acquaintance, stirring memories of other lovers and near-lovers, each one a paradox of connection and contradiction, freedom and threat. Their traces linger in the smallest details: a coffee stain, a bouquet she never wanted, a kiss that changed everything. As she sifts through these remnants, she begins to question the nature of intimacy itself. What drives us to reach for another person? What keeps us tethered, or lets us go? In this hypnotic and deeply introspective novel, Claire-Louise Bennett unravels the quiet, aching mystery of how people shape us, even long after they’ve gone.
