It seems the "usborne" is striking a cord in my memory.
i am currently looking through their titles without luck so far....but i am feeling like i am getting close.

The book was for KIDS and came from educational stores.
The book had multiple stories through out it. You were asked a question, or made to solve a riddle or problem before moving to the next page. You did not always read the pages in order The book was big and thick.
one story contained a "murder/poisoning" plot, with funny characters and a squeaky tea cart. Figuring out the tea biscuits was one of the mysteries.
One mystery was figuring out a big room and which door to go through (If I remember correctly).
The book was roughly trade paperback sided 2-3 inches thick
came out roughly late nineties and was gifted to me by an aunt who home schooled in Canada.

Them Lovely Bones ... emotional but not sappy

I believe the author had a PHD

I want to say it had rollercoaster in the title of front cover description.

I read this book in the last two years. However I expect it was printed no earlier that 2000...
This book had a white cover and maybe colourful font though I could be wrong. I know it was white though.
About anxiety and how to manage it daily.
Taught people who had anxiety AND those around them how to cope.
I found it to really hit home and speak to one who is suffering.
Written like an inspiring and helping self help book.

how do I move this to solved?

As soon as I saw the title I knew it. This is definitely it !
Thank you so much!
I recently lost all nineteen boxes of my book collection . Awesome people like you help me rebuild ❤

also I recall Joe(?) was never happy to see her.
he did not get along with his twin and had only met her once at a party.
He wanted nothing to do with his twin...so she fell into the same category.
He avoids her from the start and she has to work hard to earn his trust.
I believe it to be a romantic/suspense novel.

ohh I'm sorry here's some more info!

I can't remember her name but she is in her late 20s early 30s. the reason she needs the exe I can't place but he's been gone for years.
the twin is the same age (possibly named Joe I'm pretty sure that is correct). He claims from the very start to have ZERO contact with the brother. I don't think this is honest though.
His neighbor is a shy quiet girl who works for him at his coffee house. She is very young and almost seems to be crushing on Joe.
It's a small mountain town...the main woman and Joe go bike riding to a lake one day.
Odd small fact i remember?
The cute little coffee shop the twin owns has alot of regular customers. They all bring their own mugs and keep them at the shop.

-Possibly one of those purple covered suspense romances (harlequin?)
-woman moves into a cabin on a lot with a few cabins ... across the lane from her ex boyfriends twin brothers house
-she's trying to find her ex but the twin wants nothing to do with her
-his name might be Joe....he definetly bought and owned the only coffee house in town and he is a "green bike riding nut"
-another girl lives in a cabin on the lot and she brings home pupp(ies?) and he has to help raise them

thanks in advance ... I'll try and come up with more
