Solid.  Not sure how much I vibe with the reveal but it didn’t ruin it.  Overall a good book in the genre

Super good read it in a day! Super suspenseful, but at the same time felt like it was along the lines of every other book like this. I started to figure out who did it but it wasn’t until the end. Great read if you want a quick suspense!

I could not put down What You Did by Claire McGowan. The story begins with 6 college friends who reunite 25 years after graduating. Within a short time, though, one of them is raped, and one is accused. That act sets off a series of revelations spanning their 25 year relationships. There were some great, intricate twists in this story. But ultimately I rated it 3 stars because a lot of the revelations I saw coming from a mile away! The main character, Ali, was just either really stupid, or so self-centered that it just took the story down a little, for me. Overall, this was just a good story, not great. It reminded me somewhat of The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty. I would read more stories by Ms, McGowan, she has potential.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-copy in exchange for a review. #netgalley #whatyoudid

Excellent

It had me from the beginning. The ending was perfect, not a fairytale ending, but a real life kind of sad ending

Great storyline. Somewhat predictable . Ending was not.

Somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3. A twisty turny thriller, parts of it keep you guessing and parts of it are very predictable. A good beach or pool read.

Terrible book. Full of cliches and unlikeable characters.

WHAT YOU DID by Claire McGowan is a gripping domestic thriller filled with secrets and lies. I had my suspicion about "who done it" and was proved wrong on more than one occasion. The real culprit was well and deliciously hidden throughout the pages and took me completely by surprise—a very satisfying surprise! I highly recommend this book.
