The Imposter
by Anna Wharton
I have actually never read a book with this premise before. I went in expecting something totally different after reading the synopsis, but in the end I still managed to be pleasantly surprised. I would say that typically mainstream thrillers do not have the calming elements that this had, and completely unrelated to the book, this would make an amazing movie.
After the first couple of chapters, I instantly felt bad for Chloe. She was never really taken seriously by anyone and often was treated like a child. The constant tiptoeing around her by other adults was quite unnerving.
It is an incredibly lonely book. There is not many characters, events, interactions, background information or places. By removing everything apart from Chloe and Angela, I thought this would be more immersive within Chloe's thoughts but the writing felt as though it would constantly push the reader out of Chloe's mind and life.. making readers scavenging for information through Chloe the impostors. Clever move.
It does offer a very satisfying and ominous twist at the end, and proved to be a very intriguing read and is a must-read for those that like to immerse themselves with unreliable characters and a little bit of mystery.
