Wildly gripping and twisty, very satisfying. ( )

I've read so much fiction throughout the years and it's not too often that I am absolutely shocked by a plot twist, but this one completely caught we unawares. Wont say anything else. Don't want to ruin the ending.But by all means, this is a book you want to read ! ( )

I just couldn't get into this book. The pacing was slow to reveal any sort of mystery and when things were revealed, I felt that either characters wildly overreacted or underreacted. That made me (rightfully) think that what really happened was something in between what we the readers are lead to believe happened. I read some spoilery reviews so I know the last twist, and yeah...I kinda figured that was where it was going, but I just didn't care enough to finish it.

But let’s see what she tries next time. This is only a debut. It packs a huge amount of promise, ingenuity and sleight-of-hand into a rookie effort. And it’s mostly gimmick-free. Until that finale, there’s not a cheap trick in sight.

Book description
What if you realized the terrifying book you were reading was all about you?

A brilliantly conceived, deeply disturbing psychological thriller about a woman haunted by secrets—and the price she will pay for concealing the truth.

When a mysterious novel appears at Catherine Ravenscroft's bedside, she is curious. She has no idea who might have sent her The Perfect Stranger—or how it ended up on her nightstand. At first, she is intrigued by the suspenseful story that unfolds.

And then she realizes.

This isn't fiction.

The Perfect Stranger re-creates in vivid, unmistakable detail the day Catherine became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew—and that person is dead.

Now that the past Catherine so desperately wants to forget is catching up with her, her world is falling apart. Plunged into a living nightmare, she knows that her only hope is to confront what really happened on that terrible day . . . even if the shocking truth may destroy her.
