Love a slow-burn thriller and it kept me guessing up until the end! I also empathised with Anna too, her story making sense later in a sad way. It's the type of book you'd want to reread right after you finished to see what you missed! Should check content warnings first tho

WOW!  Haven't read a book this fast in a long time. What a ride. Great writing and I was fully invested the entire time.

I cheered for Anna, I doubted Anna, and I was surprised by Anna. Overall, I enjoyed The Woman in the Window and connected with the characters just enough.
