Reading this book was an experience. It was weirdly addicting and totally consuming. It’s also a book that is difficult to review for fear of spoilers.
The story is complex, with multiple storylines that are told in shifting timelines and from multiple points of view. There are times when the individual storylines seem disconnected, but then they are brought together in a completely unexpected way. It’s a love triangle but one created to be anything but typical.
It’s a book that somewhat defies the single-box genre assignment. It’s a thriller, to be sure. But is it psychological? In part. Is there a whodunit element? Yes, there is. But in truth, there’s very little actual mystery throughout the book. Yet this doesn’t keep the book from being utterly compelling.
Behind Her Eyes is a twisted tale of love and obsession, but told in a very unique way. It’s complex and dark, all things perfect in a thriller!
