Review: Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinsborough

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had to really think about how I was going too word this review,yes I do understand why this book has acquired the hash tag that it has and yes I thought the ending was very shocking but probably not for the same reason that other readers have.

On a rare night out single mum Louise meets handsome David in a bar,after a evening of drinks and laughter they share a kiss.Louise doesn't expect too ever see David again so she is shocked when she discovers that not only is he her new boss at the clinic where she works but that he is also married to stunningly beautiful Adele.As Louise is drawn deeper into their toxic relashionship she becomes obsessed with unlocking their secrets even if it means putting her own life at risk.

The story is told in the alternating perspectives of Adele and Louise in chapters headed then/now/before and after.It is a character driven story and although the main characters are believable they are also very unlikable.That said when I finished the book I did find that I liked and felt more sympathy for one character by the end than I did at the beginning.

After a intreguing beginning the story does take a while too get going and to be honest I almost decided not too finish the book.I am glad I persevered because once it did get going I was totally hooked in by this twisted tale of lies,manipulation and secrets.None of the characters are who they seem and the story is packed with twists and turns.My one issue with this book is I thought that certain elements of the story pushed the limits of credibility a bit too far but that's just my opinion.

Many thanks to publishers Harper Collins for a arc of this book via netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
