It gets 3 stars instead of 2 because it was a very fast and easy read and I was satisfied with how it ended.
I did not love this book. I wasn’t a fan of any of the characters though I did care more for Catherine than any of the others.
This was another book about secrets, lies and hiding the truth to protect oneself and others. And how people’s knowledge and interpretation of the facts they have, along with their own biases and preconceived notions, lead to an understanding of one side that, without challenge, can take on a life of its own.

Problemet med mange thrillere er at de virker veldig konstruerte. Denne psykologiske thrilleren gir den opplevelsen i stor grad. Når den samtidig ikke er velskrevet, hjelper det ikke på opplevelsen. Men så er det det rare da, at jeg likevel slukte boken og levde meg inn i historien til en gjeng med mennesker der ingen hadde spesielt sympatiske trekk. Men folk famler, og denne famlingen er som regel lesbar.
Interesting plot...but this is supposed to be thriller right? I didn't feel thrill.
DISCLAIMER feels like reading a Netflix movie. It’s fun and thrilling, with enough twists and revelations to keep things mysterious and exciting. But there is no beautiful prose or artistic flourishes—just a no-frills thriller—which is why it feels more like a movie than a book. And it is going to make a great movie!
Great book! Totally a barn burner, I was totally hooked and stayed up late to finish. Similar in execution to Gone Girl, I'd say a worthy successor. Pulled me in and kept me guessing, I didn't expect the twist at the end and made me think about what I'd do in this situation. Good read, highly recommended!

The premise for this book is intriguing, what if you realized the terrifying book you were reading was all about you? How can you not be roped in by that tagline?
I have to admit I didn't find the story "terrifying" necessarily. Mysterious, yes. Then again, it's not about me. If someone dropped a book at my house and I discovered it was about me, about something I buried, about something I thought no other living person knew about...I'm sure I'd be terrified.
The mystery held my interest. It kept me guessing. I enjoyed this one. It got to a point, somewhere around halfway, where I just decided I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
This one was a fast read and I'd recommend it.

Im not to sure what to think about this book.
There are 2 families. One is Nancy, Stephen and Jonathan. The other is Catherine, Robert and Nicholas.
The story goes along the lines of Catherine and Jonathan met in Spain and started an affair. While Catherine fell asleep on the beach her son Nicholas drifts out to see and Jonathan jumps in to save him but his dies after getting into difficulty and drowns. Catherine pretends she doesnt know him and returns to her life in England the next day and never talks about him, it her secret. Until 20 years later her and Robert have just moved house and she finds a book on her bedside table, not sure where its come from and starts to read it and realises its about her. Its her story. Where did it come from? Who wrote it? How did someone find out this secret and why are they out to destroy her life as it is and so the story continues.
Ill be honest by page 100 I was about to give up. I was starting to get bored, it just seemed to be going on forever and nothing really was happening. So I decided one more chapter and if it was still the same, I was putting it down and giving it back to the library.
I'm glad I stuck. The story just seemed to explode. It got really good. I see the first half of the book was the filler. All the details that you needed to know and were glad of by the end your whole perception of the whole book changed. Ive actually just put it down and during today, Ive felt sad, giggled a couple of times, been horrified and a felt a little sick. Yeah, pretty heavy feelings for a Sunday afternoon!
Id honestly recommend giving this a go. Ive gave it the 4 stars because of the start but it redeemed itself by the end. Would I say it was as good as Girl On the Train? No. That had me hooked from the very first page but I will say you will enjoy it if you liked GOTT.
Good plot twist, characters were a tad plain, but believable.
