Twist and turns non-stop in this book. Some I guessed, some I didn't. Overall though it was okay.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the first I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be my last. I love a good mystery, and I really enjoy when I feel like I know the characters. An easy read that I read in 2 days.

Absolutely couldn't put it down! Read from chapter three to the end of the book in one day, I just needed to know what happened.

This was an amazing storyline. I could not put this book down. I picked up another book by this author because it took me on such a thrill ride. I felt, for once, that I could not predict the ending. And that, for me, happens so rarely! Loved it!

After his girlfriend Marissa dies in a house fire in college, Nick is forced to mourn her and move on with life. Twenty years later, he sees a girl that looks astonishingly like Marissa, mannerisms and all. Feeling the need to ask her if she is related, he walks up to her, only to have her drop what she is holding and run out of the store.
The next day, the police are knocking on Nick’s door, asking for his alibi for the previous night. The girl he saw at the store was found, strangled in a hotel room. Nick doesn’t understand — why would they suspect him? He only tried to talk to her in the store the night before.
But then, the detective drops a bomb on him: the dead girl had his name and address written down on a piece of paper found in her pocket. He doesn’t know the girl or her family, but apparently she knew him.
"Somebody I Used to Know" is a well-written mystery, with twists and turns at the most unexpected spots. Nick is forced to bring back his tortured memories from his past, question old friends about Marissa’s last movements, and meet new, mysterious characters in search of answers. Who is this girl, and what did she want with him?
Thank you to the publisher for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

You know how when you start reading a book and from page one you just know you are going to love it? Ya, well this is one of those books...
Well written and full of twists and turns, this one kept me turning the pages in anticipation of what was coming next. My only issue is that I would have liked a little more closure for Nick, a HEA if you will. What can I say, it's the romance reader in me coming out!
