The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn

3.0

This book was just o.k. to me. It was fast paced, and there were times where I wanted to read ahead, but if definitely took a while for me to get started. I was constant wondering “is this woman really just seeing things or did it actually happen?”. In hindsight, it was kind of predictable, but there was a fun twist in the end. The innocent teenage neighbor who lives in the house where the woman is murdered is actually the killer and has a personality disorder.

I am still unsure how I feel about the approach the author took towards mental health issues. The main character’s agoraphobia was kind of seen as psychotic, scary, and crazy, although the author tried to normalize it for the general public by explaining the reasoning behind the character’s illness.
