Matters of the Heart

Hope Dunne is content with her life, finding serenity and beauty through the lens of her camera. She isn't looking for a man or excitement. But things change when she accepts a last minute assignment in London, photographing one of the world's most celebrated writers. To Hope's surprise, Finn O'Neill exudes warmth and a boyish charm. He courts her, whisking her away to his palatial, isolated Irish estate, weaving a tapestry of tales about his life. Hope finds it all absolutely dizzying. But soon cracks begin to appear in his stories and suddenly Hope is both in love and suspicious. How many lies has he told? Is it possible that this kind, loving, attentive man is hiding something even worse?

This book gave me chills! We join the main character as she rides the rollercoaster that is dating a narcissist, from the love bombing and future faking to the blatant lies and sudden tantrums to slowly being convinced you're crazy. I always thought someone should write a book about my ex, looks like they did (lol). I only wish I came across it sooner.
