Good morning everyone I hope you had a good bank holiday. Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two books by GM Govett.
💛 Believe
💙 When You Looked Away
I was a huge fan of Believe so I was very excited to receive a copy of her next book, When You Look Away, this week. It sounds absolutely fantastic, though as a mum of three losing one of my kids is one of my worst nightmares!
When You Looked Away is out on the 9th July 2026 and you can find out more about the book below ⬇️
Huge thanks to @michaeljbooks for sending me a copy of this book. I can’t wait to read it soon!
Is this book on your radar?
When You Looked Away
It’s every mother’s worst nightmare.
Your son is gone.
And everyone’s a suspect…
Laura’s a good mother.
Between her messy divorce with her ex-husband, and moving in with her new fiancé, her son Benjy has been her constant.
But now that they’re settled, Laura is excited to throw herself back into work.
Being a mother is fulfilling, but Laura has always felt that writing is her true calling. Her ultimate escape.
Until that fateful day. The afternoon starts like any other. Laura picks Benjy up from school, then heads upstairs to write.
It’s not until the sun is setting that she realises the house is quiet. Too quiet.
It’s not until she sees the footprints in the garden that she knows something is terribly wrong.
One set is undeniably Benjy’s. It’s the other set that strikes fear in her heart – those of an adult.
Someone who took her son, right from under her nose…
Believe
Natalie has spent ten years trying to get over the twin set of events which changed her life forever.
The first: the moment her boss assaulted her. The second: the moment the jury declared him innocent – and her, a liar.
The memories continue to haunt Natalie, and in her attempts to block out the past, she often wakes up with no memory of where she’s been – or what she’s done.
So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge.
Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can’t trust anyone – herself included…
