Quotes by Lisa Jewell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When I read a book it feels like real life and when I put the book down it's like I go back into the dream.”
― Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone

“They weren’t bad books,” Phin countered patiently. “They were books that you didn’t enjoy. It’s not the same thing at all. The only bad books are books that are so badly written that no one will publish them. Any book that has been published is going to be a ‘good book’ for someone.”
― Lisa Jewell, The Family Upstairs

“A man who can’t love but desperately needs to be loved is a dangerous thing indeed.”
― Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone

Note: The selections in this poll were taken from the 2018 Goodreads Choice Awards Finalists in the mystery catagory. Because of this, there were no nominations or nominators and by default, no discussion leaders. If you would like to lead one of the discussions, please send Gem a message. (The same rules were applied to these books, they must be available in paperback and we have not read them in the past 12 months, some books were eliminated because they did not comply with the group rules.)

We ask that you only vote if you are planning on participating in our discussion should your choice win.
