Wild. More scifi than thriller but still suspenseful.

I don’t even know what genre this book would be. Realised half way through I’ve watched the series so didn’t get the omgs at the plot twist

           I don’t know how I feel about the ending because the twist really did get me. But it’s a love or hate kind of book. It was a really good read, but the ending is also impossible to guess because it did have some supernatural twist. But I loved reading it. It was very entertaining and I’m glad I was able to

The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can't guess how wrong - and how far a person might go to protect their marriage's secrets.Behind Her Eyes is a cunning puzzle-box of a novel, a masterfully engineered thriller that brings to mind Hitchcock at his most uncanny, and Rendell at her most relentless. Lean and mean, dark and disturbing, this is the kind of novel that takes over your life. Sarah Pinborough slays." - Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 " Behind Her Eyes is a dark, electrifying page-turner with a corker of an ending. Sarah Pinborough is about to become your new obsession." - Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fool Me Once "The strongest, most unsettling thriller of the year, with a final twist destined to provoke arguments for years to come. Read it now before someone spoils the ending for you." - John Connolly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Charlie Parker novels "A modern love triangle with so many mind-screws you start questioning if maybe this particular triangle has more than three points. It's funny, it's cold, it's modern. A master-class in juggling moods and the two sides to every story. And, wow, that ending. Pinborough's latest had me questioning everything. And the answers that eventually came frightened me more than the unknown preceding them. I loved Behind Her Eyes. It's a modern love triangle thriller and it would make one helluva movie." - Josh Malerman, bestselling author of Bird Box "A deliciously dark love story that will keep you guessing. Shocking, gleeful, and thrilling, welcome to the world of Sarah Pinborough." - Sarah Langan, three-time Bran Stoker Award winning novelist "If Behind Her Eyes isn't the thriller of the year, there is no justice. Hugely entertaining, utterly compelling and the ending will leave you reeling." - Sarah Lotz, author of The Three "Walking the tightrope between psychological and supernatural thriller with effortless ease and delicacy, Behind Her Eyes has everything a thriller needs: fully realized characters, peerless writing, a tank of a plot that sustains the suspense right to the end, and a whammy of a finale that hits you like a cartoon piano falling onto a rabbit's head. It takes a lot to catch me out, but this one did. It'll get you, too? " - Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat "

This book had a “holy sh*t” ending, in a good way.

And I’d just gotten worried it would end predictably!

Every chapter left questions I had to know answers to so I couldn’t put it down for hours at a time. Even the ending was compelling, leaving a visceral dread in the pit of my stomach as I wondered what happens next. I’m Definitely reading more books by this author.

at the exact page 100 i was seriously considering to just let this book go because i'm having difficulties in trying to care for the characters and to suspend my disbelief over some of the occurrences in the story.

so why continue then? you ask.

well, because of the constant praise and people really can't stop talking about the twist at the ending like it's the second coming of Jesus so i thought why the hell not. this is a challenge i can get behind.

HA indeed a #wtfthatending but unlike maybe 80% of y'all who loved it i'm in the minority who felt cheated and loathed it. 
it was a cheap, contrived, cringeworthy twist that really belongs to another kind of book in a different kind of genre.

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough

These are crazy people but oh so interesting to read about. David and Adele are married, but not happily. David begins an affair with Louise. Adele begins to plot. There are twists and turns in this book that readers will never see coming. It is a gripping psychological thriller and I highly recommend it.

This book felt realllllly long but I was hoping for a pretty good twist ending. Wasn’t disappointed 👏🏻

i had to put it down a few times to catch my breath and calm down. this book is crazy!! crazy good. it builds up flawlessly. and the ending. MY GOD THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!! 4.3 stars for me~

I didn’t like that there was nothing to guess at leading up to the reveal - and there don’t really seem to be clues along the way. It feels like they came up with a twist and then just added it to the last 20 pages.

What the fuck????????????? I was going to give it four stars but the last chapter was utter bullshit like NAH WHY WOULD YOU EVEN DO THAT

Midori Kobayashi

4.5/5 fucking stars lmao


yeah yeah, i know very conflicting and contrasting from the usual reviews but I FUCKING LOVED THIS. idc about logic or whatever man- i knew this book had a hint of supernatural and i was okay with it. Hell, it makes me read more such stuff. That ending? chef's kiss

i think this is gonna be one of those books i don't shut up about LIKE EVER?

(although the writing style is very choppy and chapters are very small with all different POVs- so while it makes it easier to breeze through, certainly not very good writing.)

Sharing a secret always feels great in the moment, but then becomes a burden in itself. That gnawing in the pit of your stomach that something has been set free and you can’t call it back and now someone else has that power over your future.

Literally. This was a fantastic story with easily relatable characters. The narration was spot on. The book had me hooked from page 1 right up until the last half hour. Disappointed that I did not see the unrealistic fantasy twist tacked onto the end of this book. While I enjoyed the overall story the unbelievable ending was so disappointing that it ruined the whole book for me.

Jessica Ford

Wow!

I almost gave up on this book. The first half was slow and really didn’t draw me in. I stuck with it though, and I’m glad I did. Twists and turns and a crazy twist at the end. I can’t wait to read more from this author

Full disclosure - I work for HarperCollins who publish this book. Irrespective of that....

Absolutely cracker. Gripping, page-turner that speeds to one hell of an ending.

           Very weird. Very bizarre. I enjoyed the supernatural aspect to it, but I totally understand why people didn't like it because it is not realistic. 

Although not totally sure how I felt about the fact that it was Rob in Adele's body the whole time - uncomfortable but also like whatttttt.
