htp_hive hijacked my reading plans last weekend with #TheImageofYouReadalong Except this ended up being such a page turner that I found it impossible to stick to the reading schedule! If you love wild, twisty, sexy thrillers, make sure you grab this one before its movie adaptation on May 10!
I love Adele Parks and The Image of You fell into that category as well. Oddly enough this ended up being 5th book about twins in the past 5 weeks! It’s also the very first book I read in which character works exactly in the same line on work as me (Anna works in the drop-in for people experiencing homelessness and I run a slightly “rougher” version of the same program)! Just a few reasons this ended up being such a memorable read.
Anna and Zoe are twins albeit identical in looks only. Anna believes in love and finding her Prince Charming (despite only having experience with lying cheating frogs), while Zoe doesn’t trust men or feelings. Then Anna meets charming, good looking Nick and what she believes to be her happily ever after. Except with her wildly protective twin, all bets are off.
Grab this if
📚 you’re looking for an unputdownable thriller
📚 you enjoy games of cat & mouse
📚 you like thrillers about twins
📚 you like element of steamy in your reads
📚 you want to make sure you read the book before seeing the movie
Full disclosure, I did guess the big twist but I blame the sheer amount of thrillers I read plus my profession! I was still highly entertained by the way things played out! Especially the ending 😱
A huge thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Mira & NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review!
