Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
3.0
3.5 starts down to 3. The loss of 1.5 stars is only for 2 REASONS:
1. I have read hundreds of books in my day and Louise must be one of the top 5 dumbest characters ever written. Every 5 minutes I kept saying OUT LOUD to NO ONE IN PARTICULAR “how friggin’ STUPID are you Louise?!?” I mean she made every bad decision you could possibly make it was astounding.
2. At first, the ending made me put the book down for 10 minutes and hug my blanket because it was so spectacular. Then, I took some time to critically think and now it’s…impossible and undeserved. The second door part of the plot already lost me because it wasn’t what I expected/wanted but then the ending?!? It made no sense and Sarah did not give ANY indication that this was possible. Nope.
