She lives in my old home, she looks like me, she dresses like me… And now she wants my life.
Naomi is devastated when the sale of the apartment falls through, her dreams of moving to an amazing ‘forever home’ nearby with her family are momentarily dashed.
But then a sweet-natured single mother named Summer appears, announcing her intention to buy Naomi’s old apartment. And all of a sudden, it looks like Naomi might get her new house after all.
At first, it feels like Summer’s saved her life. But as soon as the sale goes through, Summer starts turning up at Naomi’s new house. She’s enrolled her child in Naomi’s daughter’s class. She’s dressing like Naomi. She’s suddenly best friends with all her friends… And then Naomi discovers she’s got a pretty little doll’s house. One that looks just like Naomi’s new home.
Naomi wants to believe she’s just imagining things. What could Summer possibly want? And how far will she go to take everything that Naomi has?
A totally page-turning psychological thriller, that fans of Lisa Jewell, Sue Watson and Daniel Hurst will be unable to put down.
This is one heck of a psychological thriller. Chilling with enough suspense that it kept me on my toes all the way. The blurb drew me immediately and kept me riveted. Yes, it is one of those books.
Naomi is looking forward to moving into a larger home with her family. Her flat has been sold and things are going well. Then, the buyer pulls out, which leaves Naomi and her family high and dry. Then Summer decides to buy the flat. She has a child the same age as Naomi’s, which brings the possibility of a friendship blooming. Instead, Naomi begins to sense something not right, as if Summer wants her life….but does she really?
The sense of foreboding I felt started slowly but steadily grew as the plot unfolded. The fact that Naomi wasn’t believed at times had me wondering if it was Naomi being paranoid. Although I have to say I was invested in her so I was doubting everything. The twists and turns made this even worse. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t want to put this book down, but when I had to, I returned as soon as I could.
Such a page-turner of a book and an ending that just added more! It’s one of my favourite books this year.
