I Thought I Knew You by Penny Hancock
4.0
This reading was surprisingly good. I had a great time reading it.
This kind of genre is definitely not my cup of tea, so it’s not like I have a huge background to compare it to, but it’s been a while since I book grabbed my attention so much.
The choice to have the story told by two different perspectives - but using both first and third person narrators - is quite interesting.
I believe the story was beautifully executed in a way that provides the reader a great number of hypothesis - which in my opinion was the best thing of it. I was “it’s obvious she being so reasonable” and then two pages later I was “she’s unbelievable, i wanna hit her with a car”.
With all that said, the outcome of the narrative didn’t keep up with the rest of the plot. The climax was less interesting than everything else and the “happy” ending did not keep up with the book’s tone.
