Suspense isn’t my go-to genre but I really enjoyed this one! It was fast-paced and really interesting.
I really liked the main characters, Lainie and James. I really loved that they had known each other for years since Lainie and James’ sister were best friends. It was also really sweet that Lainie had a crush on James since high school and he had no idea. It made their romance a cute and fun one to read. Their love and respect for each other was sweet.💙
I also enjoyed the subplot centering around James and his complicated relationship with his dad.
I also enjoyed the faith content!
Sometimes books in this genre are too creepy for my taste but I didn’t find this one to be too disturbing or creepy for me personally. While there are some disturbing and creepy parts to the story (like the stalking), I didn’t find that those parts kept me from enjoying the story.
Overall, I really enjoyed Double Take! I’m interested in reading more about this friend group since they all seem really cool and have interesting careers!

Thank you to NetGalley and to Libro.fm for the ARC and ALC of Double Take by Lynette Eason. All opinions are my own.
Before reading this book, I had heard of Lynette Eason but had never read any of her books, but now I would love to read more.
I don’t typically read thrillers, but the premise that included a romance and the fact that the author writes Christian fiction intrigued me enough to give it a try.
I really ended up enjoying this book so much that I listened to the whole book in one day.
It’s the kind of story that you just can’t put down because you want to know what happens next. I also couldn’t guess the mystery aspect at all, so the reveal at the end was great.
The faith elements really added to the story, and I found them to be realistic and relatable.
The audiobook was excellent, and I definitely recommend it if you like audiobooks.
Overall, I would recommend this book if you’re looking for a fast-paced book with an unpredictable plot, lovable characters, and a sweet romance.
