I’m super excited to say I’m part of the book tour for The Assistant by Amanda Reynolds. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted copy of the book.
I know many things about Larissa.
I know what she eats, which must-have brands she applies to her face, and the price of each carefully selected ‘piece’ in her multi-million-pound home in Belgravia.
Because Ris, as she is known to her many followers, likes to share.
And now I’m here, in her home, watching her every move.
Entrusted with her secrets and running her diary from the bijou basement flat, I’m on hand to fulfil Ris’ every need. Her right-hand woman. But what she doesn’t know is why I’m really here.
I’ve put a lot on the line to get this job, and now my plan can begin.
I’ve waited long enough.
I was looking forward to reading The Assistant. The fact I enjoyed Amanda Reynolds previous books set my expectations high for this one.
A psychological thriller mainly told through interviews, diary entries and emails made for a different read. I have read other books written in very similar ways previously so I knew I wouldn’t have any issues with the style. So I cleared my day and sat down to devour this book!
Gail applies for the role of social media influencer and multi billionaire, Larissa’s assistant. Gail doesn’t just need a job, she needs to be in Larissa’s life to bring her down. But why?
I was hooked from the start. The way the story was written, and the fact that both these women are as unlikeable as each other just pulls you into their worlds. I was hanging on to every word in anticipation of finding out everything. I felt like I was almost in Gail’s head as the plot unfolded, this is due to the way Amanda Reynolds has written the book.
Both characters may not be the nicest, but they are very cleverly crafted. I love a character to hate,and two of them makes this even better! A solid slow burn psychological thriller that I recommend.
