This aspect becomes a key player, so if you’re not a fan of these types of stories, I believe this book might not work for you. One thing that I think could lead to some readers not loving this story as much as myself is the supernatural aspect of the book. Basically, Pinborough played with my emotions nonstop, while misleading me to think I knew all of the answers. David brought out the same emotions in me. I simultaneously felt sympathy towards each woman, but then also hated them. I loved getting inside each woman’s mind and watching them both plotting away and trying to figure each other out. Well they’re right, but they also forgot to say that the beginning and middle were equally great! The story is told through alternating points of view between Adele, Louise, and remembrances of Adele’s past. I heard everyone tell me that the ending was amazing. Sarah Pinborough just blew my mind with BEHIND HER EYES! I went into this book thinking I was in for a wild ride with a psychological thriller and walked away with my jaw on the floor. You can never know everything about a person. She knows every marriage has it secrets, but what is really happening between Adele and David?Įveryone should be allowed their secrets. Louise doesn’t know who to believe or what the truth about this couple really is. Louise begins to grow closer to Adele, while also building a relationship with David, and soon things are spiraling out of control. It seems they’re not quite the perfect couple that they come off as. The David that Adele describes to Louise is much different from the man she thought she knew.
