What's Up With Betty Clutterbuck?
Sometimes, extending the hand of friendship is all it takes to unlock the secrets of the past. When a downtrodden student forms an unlikely friendship with her eccentric employer, they find themselves caught up in a harrowing mystery nearly forty years in the making and must both confront personal demons in order to solve it. Betty Clutterbuck is old, cantankerous and opinionated. Being employed as her 'companion' is not student Emma's idea of fun. But then, so much of Emma's life is controlled by others, why should her choice of part-time job be any different? At twenty-two, Emma is battling OCD, has a volatile home life and is nursing a broken heart. Betty is not your typical old lady. She's complicated. Funny and raucous, yet also vulnerable and emotional, Betty demands meaningful interactions from Emma, which force her to reassess her life. Betty becomes the friend Emma never knew she needed. But in private, both women are suffering. Emma is the victim of domestic abuse; Betty is in the early stages of dementia. When Betty's mental health begins to deteriorate, Emma suspects that dementia is not the only cause. Convinced that Betty's decline is linked to the dark secrets buried within the pages of an old diary, Emma vows to uncover the truth and help her new friend. But with circumstances conspiring against them at every turn and their courage and moral fibre tested to the very limits, will their demons ultimately consume them? Or will love and friendship conquer all in the end?

" You only truly miss someone when they are gone. And sometimes, it's hard to let go. But you have to let him go..." It is hard when your loved one is gone. But for Riley, it was something different. In a sick sort of way, she loved it-reminiscing about Leo, literally drowning in the memories of him. And it isn't long till Riley does drown herself among those gray memories, shutting and shunning the world forever, in a place too far to reach. She is already so gone, that every one of her friends and family are very close to giving up, and on each tick of the clock Riley is close to letting go. Will a curious stranger's words save her, or will Riley try to save herself? *If you read the summary, and decided that it is some sort of typical clichè , I'd like to tell you that this is NOT a cliche 'damsel-in-distress-saved-by-a-knight-in-shining-armour' story at all. You won't find anything such as that, as the tags suggests too. But yes, there will be few moments of cliche.* •Warning• : Things about suicide, self-harm, depression; contains kissing and cuss words-so read at your own risk And also, even though it's edited, it still can have few mistakes.

However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further.

He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible. Once he turns 18, he'll be a legal adult and nobody will be able to separate him from his grandfather. He just has to hold out one more year. But it isn't easy. Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane. She's practically stalking him, and if he befriends her, she might find out about his grandfather and ruin his plan. But what if he just wrote her back?
SOLACE (condensed version)
This is not a happy, feel-good story. This is a story of heartbreak, of a person being utterly destroyed. However, it is also a story of true friendship and loyalty, of finding oneself, of unwavering love. It is a story of keeping promises, no matter how much it kills you to keep them.
