What Looks Like Crazy by Charlotte Hughes

Crazy, Book 1

Synopsis: Psychologist Kate Holly’s own life has become the stuff of intensive therapy. She’s divorcing her gorgeous firefighter husband, she has an eccentric secretary, her mother and aunt have erected a vaguely sexual sculpture in her front yard, and her psychiatrist ex-boyfriend won’t stop calling to find out what color panties she’s wearing. Now, Kate’s being bombarded with mysterious threats, and the only person who can help her is the one man who always makes her lose her mind-and heart.

Review: I’ve had this novel for some time in my TBR-pile, and I was happy to get into the story without knowing exactly what it was about.

Kate Holly is a psychiatrist, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a lot of problems. In fact, between her patients and her personal life, things are going from bad to worse. She’s about to divorce the man she spent three years with, and it’s not easy. But on top of that, her patients are hard to deal with. Between a man who wants to blow her up with nitroglycerine, another who wants to jump off a building or the threatening calls she keeps getting, she has a lot on her mind. What if we add a dog who gives birth at home and a slightly clingy ex? Well, there’s plenty to deal with.

I had a really good time with this novel full of twists and turns. And what about Jay, her husband who’s as hot as they come? I loved him. Kate, on the other hand, kind of pissed me off when I found out why she filed for divorce. I understand that it’s not easy for her, but it’s also very selfish. I really wonder what it’s going to be like afterwards.

Anyway, it was a great first volume and I loved discovering all these characters a little crazy. And I really want to discover more! Kate is a heroine that we love to follow and I can’t wait to meet more of her patients!
