I loved this debut psychological thriller.
When Claire visits her fiancé Noah's at his office to surprise him with lunch, she discovers he left his job nine months ago. Noah stops taking Claire's calls, and she's left trying to work out why. Where is he,and why is he suddenly ignoring her?
I loved this story and really didn't know which unreliable narrator to believe. Claire was a brilliant character. It was easy to emphasise with her, particularly when reading the entries from her difficult childhood due to the relationship she had with her negligent mother. It was also interesting reading Claire's diary entries detailing Claire and Noah's relationship.
This was a great page turner, and whilst I did predict the ending, I enjoyed watching the story resolve. I went into this book blind and I think it made it even more enjoyable.
This was a brilliant twisty thriller and a fantastic debut. I can't wait to read more from this author.
