You Let Me In by Lucy Clarke
5.0

Elle Fielding is a writer. Her first novel a roaring success with a six-figure advance and a second novel in the pipeline. Having built her dream home, and in the midst of a divorce, she is persuaded to rent it out on Airbnb during her trip to France. When she returns home, however, something doesn’t feel right. She starts to discover that not everything is how she left it. Is it all in her imagination, as she is repeatedly told, or has she let someone in to pick apart her past?

It has been some time since I felt the burning desires of an unputdownable book. Lucy Clarke has changed this with ‘You Let Me In’. I found myself reading at every tiny opportunity, every brief moment of free time. It’s one of those books that draws you in from the first page - the eagerness to finish takes hold and you find yourself still reading at 1am..

Lucy Clarke’s descriptions and gripping writing style allowed me to vividly imagine myself as Elle. I was living her sleepless nights, her insomnia, struggles and paranoia.
Watching her life crumble as she stressed and put everything in to finishing her second novel was fascinating. I felt every up, down and everything in between. The protagonist was so real in those pages that you couldn’t help but feel for her, root for her and make excuses for her.

A fantastic book which I am a little sad to have finished, but, on the up side, I’m hugely excited to go and read Lucy Clarke’s other novels!

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
