Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
4.0
This was recommended for me by BOTM as my February pick, but I saw the #WTFThatEnding and rolled my eyes a bit. I'm definitely a sucker for a good mystery, but it felt like it was going in for the hard sell so I went for another pick.
Cut to Friday afternoon when I was going to be doing a bit more driving than normal. I decided to go with an audiobook rather than my usual podcasts, so I got this with an Audible credit. Mysteries are my preferred driving companion, and Audible makes it so easy to return books that aren't a good fit.
This was so great on audio. I was so completely hooked. I was mad that I had to sleep that night, and I pretty much spent all day Saturday trying to do as many mindless tasks as I could so that I could keep listening.
I'm intentionally reviewing my experience rather than the story itself because there really are lots of twists that are better left unknown. I will say that I was, in fact, surprised by the ending. I enjoyed the ending, but I honestly don't know if I would have been as into it if I read the physical book. I'm a person who flips around a lot while I'm reading, and I probably would have spoiled myself. If you're an audiobook person, or even considering becoming an audiobook person, I would very highly recommend this book on audio.
