Behind Her Eyes

ARGH!! I feel completely let down by this book. I knew going in that it had a “WTF” ending as it had been promoted as that but I wasn't expecting THAT final chapter. Ugh.

The majority of the book was fast paced, compelling and just the kind of twisty drama I signed up for. You're following two women - one the wife and one the mistress - and how their lives and relationships with the man intertwine. You start to unravel the marriage and start to see how unstable the wife is but you assume it's the usual reaction to finding out her husband is having an affair.

Then the hints start to be dropped. I was intrigued by the notebook and the change in sleeping patterns so I naturally started to wonder where this was leading, I even started to think it could be what it turned out to be (trying very hard not to spoil anything here!) but then I finished it and I literally facepalmed. I could have dealt with the first “twist” at the end and it would have been weird but still a 3-4 star book but then that final chapter happened and it was too far. It was just so unnecessary!
