From the moment I started to read Elizabeth Haynes debut novel I was hooked!! It's not my usual sort of read, but I had been pre-warned to perhaps not read it at bedtime!
I really loved the structure of the book. The two time frames worked so well and kept you guessing how the main character could have gone from a fun loving party girl, to a woman so severely crippled by the emotional and mental constraints of her OCD (and what has caused it) that you feel it's a wonder that she ever leaves her house at all.
The structure and pace of the story line have you wanting to read on and on to find out what has happened to the central character. Although some of the language and passages of the book are very hard to read because of the subject matter, you just have to keep reading to see what happens next. To say that my heart was racing at many moments during the book in an understatement - my heart almost pounded right out of my chest!!!
At times the subject matter is so difficult to read because of the violence of what is happening that I very nearly had to stop reading - but my desire to keep reading overcame my nervous disposition....just!
What a wonderful first novel. I will look forward with eager anticipation to see what else this author produces - hope I don't have to wait too long!! A fabulous debut novel!!
Wow, what a book. I understand this is the authors first book. \it is fantastic. Clever. Brilliantly written. The suspense and story creeps up and before you know you are hit with it and gob smacked. You MUST read this book. Some of it was a little more graphic than I expected, but you will see that it needs to be. This story was believe-able, clever, real, scary, sad, everything. The author has played the characters and emotions incredibly well. 5 stars. I am sorry I have finished the book.
The best book I read last year, cant believe its a debut book. Love the way the author has written the book in two different timeframes, before and after, and while you read it you know at some point the two stories will meet and I couldn't wait for it. The book is quite graphic at times which makes a compelling but disturbing read. SCARY
