A review by laurenmichellebrock
The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn

2.0

I can only write a bad review by being direct, so...I didn’t like it. I thought there were places where the writing was inventive. Finn has a way with words and definitely liked playing around with his penchant for metaphor. I was fine with that. I like a good metaphor, and I love descriptive language.

But even though Anna’s background is tragic, I thought the execution was overdramatized. I was also supremely disappointed with the plot twist. I didn’t see it coming, but when the big reveal happened it felt unnatural. And I wanted Anna to be as compelling as Finn tried to make her, but I found her too underwhelming to carry a book as long as this one.

I don’t know, it just wasn’t my bottle of merlot.
