Customer Reviews

This was my first purchase on this site and I am excited! Came in great in great conditon! Delivery

Half way through but I’m hanging to every word, twists and turns are getting me at every corner. This was a book I really didn’t even know anything about and I’m glad I picked it.

Page Turner

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this! Page turner!

Easy read but predictable

This book was an easy read. It has a nice flow to it and I had to skim through very little. However, parts of it are unrealistic, in particular, the detail and lengthiness of what are supposed to be quickly written journal entries. I wanted to like the main character, but she often times came across as stupid and very naive. The ending was predictable in regards to the “villian”. The storyline after the reveal of the bad man is just not believable. If you’re looking for a good flowing, easy read similar to a more sinister ‘50 First Dates’, go ahead and check it out. However, if you’re like me and really into psychological thrillers and other books that keep you interested and guessing until the end, skip this one.

Disappointing & formulaic

There was a point in this book where I was intrigued, and excited, but the ending was such a shambles .. the writer understands what he (she?) is doing here, and checking all the boxes, but there is no heart. At one point, I was going to pass it on to my mother - in the end, I told her I would save her the wasted time of reading it, and donated it. I apologize to whoever purchased it from the Salvation Army.

Before I go to sleep was an interesting read.

The book kept me wanting to read more.... what was the true story and who was lying or appeared to be lying.

Twists at the End

I stumbled across this book on this website while looking for a different book. I was curious, and ended up purchasing it because it looked different from other mystery novels. It wasn't super fast paced, but it definitely catches your attention from the beginning because of the story-line. In the end the book takes quite a few interesting turns. I did really enjoy this book.

Very good

This book is one of my favorites now!! Once you read the first page, you won't be able to put the book down. BEST. BOOK. EVER!! I just finished it, and now i'm going to read it again. That plot twist though is what will catch you off guard

I absolutely loved this book! I thought I had it figured out but then it threw me a curveball.
