The Stranger Inside by Laura Benedict
2.0
Kimber made it hard for me as a reader to root for her. She was nasty in both timelines. I'm fine when a MC is unlikeable, but this didn't work for me.
I kept waiting for something crazy to happen, and I guess the hidden life her dad lead was a big reveal, but I wasn't super surprised by all the twists.
Mentions mental health and the toll it took on one character, but Kimber acts like she's blameless in the situation when she's stringing them back into her life. She's a selfish character.
Interesting premise, but Lance Wilson showing up to occupy the home, not to mention change the locks to Kimber's house, seemed hard to believe. No one seemed to question him, which was strange. It seemed like a lot of people weren't doing their job in this situation, which is an understatement, but just letting Lance live in Kimber's house despite it all seems strange.
I zoomed through the remaining 45 pages or so just to finish it, but it lost my interest, especially by here. I could put this down and not have the urge to pick it up.
Not a bad story, but this novel wasn't for me, unfortunately.
