behind closed doors is a well crafted, in depth, and extremely overpowering book that will keep you on your toes until the very end.

i finished the book in four hours, simply because i couldn’t afford to put it down. there were portions in the book that made me feel as if i couldn’t stomach turning the page, that i couldn’t continue reading without a break— it reeled my mind continuously and i’m still in shock, even after hours of turning the last page. 

i will recommend this book a hundred times over.

julia heaberlin’s “we are all the same in the dark,” was an intense, slow burning mystery with a disappointing ending. 

this book won’t be for everyone.
i wish it could’ve been for me.
