This was a dark, dramatic and tense story. Shocking copycat suicides are taking place at Avon University and one mother will go to great lengths to protect her daughter, even if it means digging up buried secrets from her past. I felt like the first half of this book was a slow burn, but the second half has a faster pace and it was easier to engage with the storyline. Thank you Netgalley, Harper 360 and the author for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Available now

It got better, outside of a slightly random late stage murder rampage, but started off so slowly it was occasionally difficult to continue.

Good read, enjoyable and keeps the reader guessing. I am a fan of the author and have read several of her books.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. Right off the bat, I wanted a copy of this book because I loved the 1) summary & setting for this book, 2) the cover, and 3) I like the publisher's releases. I was really excited to read a book set in Bristol. I'm in the US and tend to seek out books set in the UK, so this was a strong fit for me and my interests. So, this book has some serious content in it which may be distressing to some readers (suicide is a central theme, as it is part of the mystery explored in the plot). Spoilers after this!! It's about a potential suicide pattern happening in Bristol at the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, with the local university being front and center. I honestly think that this was a great book. The characters and plot was fully developed and I was fully interested in following the plot. I am going to request a copy of this book for my local library!

I went into this completely blind but I've never really read this sort of thriller before. It was different in a good way, but still kind of slow. Sad to think that these situations are a real life problem. Would recommend this book just to anyone looking for something different. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.

This started off really strong for me: attempted suicide, secrets and trying to figure out where the multiple POV’s came into play.
But, after that it started to feel drawn out and ultimately fell flat for me. At about 40% through the book I had a good idea of what happened, what was going to happen, and who the bad guy was. I also felt Honor’s perspective could have been less. Aside from her and Alex investigating other school suicides and her final revealing of the truth from 20 years ago it felt like her perspective didn’t add to the novel and I felt myself wanting to skip through.
I detested Cullen and found his behavior, especially ona professional level, to be a bit unbelievable, but I appreciated the message it sent.
Overall, this was decent suspense, but it wasn’t edge of your seat. I enjoyed the character of Nevis and I wish McGrath would’ve expanded on her character development. I did find the ending to be satisfying and felt it wrapped everything up nicely.

A twisted tale of multiple suicides in a college that has gone terribly wrong, this book will keep you turning the pages all night long. Honor's daughter's best friend lies in a coma after a suicide attempt. She is scared that her daughter will be next. Then other girls with their drama-filled lives start hurting themselves too. It seems these suicides may be tied to another bout of deaths from another college more than two decades ago.

There are more questions than answers here. More painful secrets to be unraveled and no one knows who to trust. Who is lying and who is telling the truth? This is a great read. Readers will become vested in the characters lives' and will be on the edge of their seat to know the outcome.

this is an interesting thought producing book, at what price do universities use to keep their funding and their reputation. There are a series of suicides, reminiscent of what happened at another university decades ago. How the characters overlap is part of what is revealed. The main character, aptly named Honor is trying to protect her daughter and figure out what is going on. the writing was a little flat for me and it started slowly but overall a good read

In the city of Bristol, young women start dying at a surprising rate. Is it individual suicides? Or something more?

Honor is concerned that her daughter could be next. She is motivated to look deeper into the young women’s deaths and try to understand what is really happening here. She quickly uncovers a link to painful events from her own past. Can she “right the wrongs” from the past?

This is my first Mel McGrath book and it was a good read. A clever thriller that will keep you guessing!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper 360, HQ for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Mel McGrath has created a book that lures the reader on and on, the story of college aged girls commiting suicide. What a dark tale but one we should discuss more often. After reading this book it makes me happy that I had boys, not that boys can't come to any harm and they did in this book. I thought that was very clever of the author. I am also glad I taught my boys how to treat a lady.

I don't understand the low reviews for this book. It does start off as a slow burn but that made me want to read more, like layer after layer of information being revealed. It was very suspenseful in that aspect. McGrath has an excellent skill of description and flow. Her writing makes you want to turn to the next page. Many of her sentences I read more than once with admiration of the way they touched the five senses. It's one of the main reasons I could not stop reading. I loved that Honor lived on a boat and that she did repairs and refurbished them, I loved being on the water with her.

I can't thank NetGalley and Harper 360 for this advanced ebook!
I really enjoyed this thriller. I've seen many mixed reviews about Two Wrongs but I honestly liked it!

I felt the characters Honor and her daughter Nevis to be realistic and enjoyed going along their journey.
The story was just great.. It kept me interested and intrigued throughout the entire book!
The writing was superb, brilliant, captivating.

I would recommend this if you enjoy an good psychological thriller that keeps you entertained.

This unfortunately ended up being a DNF for me. Things were still flat after getting halfway through so I chose to no longer invest time after the fact. Warning to readers that there is a strong prevalence of suicide in this book.

Two wrongs, can not just be classified as a thriller, it is just so much more than that!

I felt like I was on a roller coaster with the level of action that takes place in the book. I was unable to put this book down! Mel McGrath, easily captivates your attention early on. The chapters were easy and transitioned well. The plot was definitely character driven . I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This was a decent book but it was a bit on the predictable side. Most of the twists in the book were things that I could see from far away. Other than that I enjoyed the character development, and the story was interesting even if it was on the predictable side.

This was just an okay book for me, nothing that i absolutely couldn’t finish, but also not one that blew me away! Overall, it was well written, with good character development; but it sort of lacked the twisty turns and shocks I love in thrillers. Did gave some good thrills and chills though. Would recommend to those who are newer to thrillers or are just looking for a book that is very well written.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a well known spot for suicides.

And, the book opens one rainy evening with a University student named Satnam, looking like she will be the next.

A passerby arrives in time to convince her to make a call for help instead, and she asks for her roommate, Nevis, to be summoned.

Before she can jump, she collapses but ends up in the hospital barely clinging to life, anyway.

Is she just the next in an epidemic referred to as a Suicide Contagion?
Copycat suicides that occur after a rock star or celebrity does it-or randomly in a group of friends…
(I found this aspect of the story to be very unique)

Or is something more sinister going on?

As Nevis, a student better with numbers than with people tries to figure out what happened to her friend, she learns that Satnam had not been as transparent with her, as she thought she had been. She reaches out to her mother, Honor, for support and the two search for clues as to what really led Satnam to the bridge that night.

Much of the story became predictable as it went on, BUT there was a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming!
3.5 ⭐️ rounded down

⚠️ The theme of suicide is prevalent throughout!

Thank You to HQ for my gifted copy provided through NetGalley!
It was a pleasure to provide a candid review!

Well written with good character development but very predictable to me. I just couldn’t get into it. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was an interesting read with a unique plotline. It centers on mother and daughter Honor and Nevis; Nevis's closest friend does the unthinkable and it's the first of many suicides and attempted suicides. Honor is worried that her daughter is involved in something sinister, and Nevis is trying to figure out what happened to her friend.

The pacing of the book moves quickly and the reader quickly finds out that Nevis was in the dark as to what was going on right in front of her. There are also some tertiary characters at the school in which the girls attend who seem to know more than they are letting on. Some of what ends up happening is a bit predictable but there were also some surprises.

There is a subplot around a breakdown in Honor and Nevis's relationship based on a secret that Honor kept from Nevis. I was less interested in this than the main plot, mostly because I figured out early what the secret was and I wasn't sure I agreed with Honor keeping the secret. There was also a whiff of Nevis perhaps being on the spectrum based on the way her personality was described and I was somewhat frustrated that Honor didn't seem to know how to best approach her, but it was never explicitly mentioned so maybe that was not the author's intention.

Overall, I liked the book- it was a good story and the writing was engaging. I actually ended up moving right into another Mel McGrath book upon finishing it, based on the teaser in the back. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the commentary copy of this book. These are my opinions only.

I like the guessing game of why the kids were wanting to kill themselves but some of the book was predictable. I review my books a day or two after I read them. The more I remember, the more I rate the book. It took me awhile to remember some of the book.
