[This was my Book-of-the-Month book!]
Psychological thrillers aren't a genre of book I tend to read - I find them either too predictable, or overly convoluted. Cross Her Heart hit that sweet spot, where I, the cynical reader, thought I knew exactly what was going on at all times until it suddenly hit me (not once or twice, but a few times), that I actually had no idea what was going on. This was the one of those books I could not put down, staying up far too late one Sunday night to finish it. Absolutely would recommend!

Single mom with a dark past and a promise that was broken leads to a fast paced thriller. This book was twisted! I wanted something different and this definitely was different for me. The first half of this book was slow but once the second half of the book started it really picked up. I liked the different viewpoints but I felt that the daughter's storyline just dropped off in the second half.

Really enjoyed this. I think it makes you really look into yourself as a person. Could you be friends with a child killer, let alone a killer to your brother? Can past mistakes be forgiven? In my mind no, but having the itching feeling she wasn’t in fact the killer may me more empathetic towards her. Wish we given more romance because why give us Simon but only for him to fills the holes that would otherwise be empty. Could of made it out to be that Lisa and Marilyn just find peace as friends with each other with history of physical trauma, no need for Simon.

This book had so many surprising twists I did not see coming! I love the author’s writing style and loved her first book, as well. Highly recommend!!!!! Two women narrating the story makes it more engaging and I was captivated by both!

I liked the twists in this book. The multiple narrators was a nice way to get you involved in multiple storylines that all came together. I really enjoyed it.

Don't know where to even start to try and review this, but I did learn that I really appreciate books having short chapters, so that's something at least???

3.5 This book was a bit too tidy for me given the genre it’s in. I’m not always a fan of the “happily ever after” in the psychological thriller. That said, I still really enjoyed the reading experience. But it felt predictable in many ways.sbojo32's review against another edition

This book dragged for me. I don't like the strategy of withholding information from the reader for the sake of "twists." I figured out most of the twists before getting to them. So much of this book was unbelievable and frustrating to read. It was too long and didn't go anywhere for a long time. I finished it just to get to the end with a hope for redemption. It wasn't there.
