What to expect

The brand new novel from Jenny Blackhurst, the acclaimed author of the #1 Kindle bestseller HOW I LOST YOU, which Clare Mackintosh called 'utterly gripping'. A psychiatrist must figure out why her patient is seemingly more interested in her than in being treated. If you don't know who is walking through the door, how do you know if you should let them in?

You came into my office.
You were vulnerable and confused.
You said that I couldn't fix you but I was your psychiatrist, that was supposed to be my job. I should have realised that you never wanted to be fixed. That you wanted to fix me.
It felt like you thought you knew me. But that's impossible isn't it?
Now I feel vulnerable. I am constantly watching over my shoulder, I feel like I am in danger.
And all I can think is that I should never have let you in...
