This book was entertaining enough. I enjoyed the character-driven aspect of this story the most. You just know the gaslighting is going to be spot on with a con man storyline. Lisa Jewell definitely delivered on that front. The timeline jumps were a bit confusing in the beginning, and I think that's what made me lose interest in the story and I just couldn’t reconnect. With all the buildup, I still found this book to be pretty predictable. I definitely enjoyed the second half of the book versus the first half.

I feel like readers will really enjoy this story and Lisa Jewell is one of the best. Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the eArc of Don’t Let Him In.
