Librarian: The Wife Between Us was a big hit last year, and I can see that repeating with their new book. Personally I found this one to be the better book, and I'm sure that it will be a popular one, especially for book clubs. That's actually what I'd suggest using this one for in a library setting. I feel like including it in a book club pack would be a really good choice, as there's a lot here to unpack.
Reader: I'm not normally a huge fan of psychological thrillers and suspense. The operative word in that sentence is normally. This book is an exception. I found myself really pulled into the story, and wanting to read more. The two leads felt more like they were functioning as deuteragonists, then as protagonist and antagonist, inspire of their opposing roles in the narrative, which I found fascinating. One other thing that I noticed, was the fact that the whole time I was reading it I had the song Bad Romance stuck in my head. The book made me think of that song, and I could easily see it being used on the soundtrack of a movie version.
