Behind Her Eyes

by Sarah Pinborough

This paranormal thriller read like a romance novel. I normally really don't like romance novels, so it was kinda hard for me to enjoy this book at times. There was almost no mystery since everything is told to the reader in advance and you are just waiting for the characters to find out about it.
Having read about this paranormal activity before, I was actually not surprised about how the events turned out. When Adele was talking at the beginning of the book about her stuff, referring to the notebook of her and Rob, I felt really confused when there was no real connection between Adele and the notebook. From that point on, I was hesitant if it was indeed Adele in her body. However, I do believe that if I had not read about 'going out of your own body and into the body of someone else before', I would not have been able to guess that ending.
I was more surprised about the ending with 'Adele' and Louise. I had not expected 'Adele' to take Louise her body, especially because she was so judgemental about it. I thought she would frame Louise for trying to destroy her and make Louise the reason for her almost suicide. When it happened I wasn't shocked, but I had not expected it.

It's a nice book. Nothing special, nothing bad. It's a fast, fun read, just don't expect a story like Gone Girl.
