reytak 's review for:

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough

3.5

---

i enjoyed reading most of this and trying to figure out what the twist would be, but the end was a disappointing honestly. the best plot twists, in my opinion, are ones you can faintly pick up on- this twist was way too out of the blue. looking back on the story, yes there are things that make more sense now, but nothing hinted even slightly at that being the reveal. the synopsis really hyped this up and i feel let down lmaoo

the astral projection/supernatural stuff also felt so out of place, like yeah there was the dream stuff but i wish it was mentioned a bit more often considering thats the basis for the reveal that ‘adele’ has been rob the entire time

also it didnt even feel all that thrilling to me, more like a big, mildly suspenseful drama
