Thanks to Bookouture Books for my gifted digital book in exchange for my honest review for the tour.
She wants to be me. But I want to take what’s hers.
I smile as I welcome Gemma and her husband to the exclusive resort. I picked Gemma, my biggest fan, to win a romantic holiday for two. But as we toast the start of a week of luxury, I notice we look exactly alike. It’s almost like she wants to be me…
I’ve planned every detail of their week. From the carefully placed black lilies around her luxury room to the ex who broke her heart turning up unannounced. Because I need to jog her memory, so she remembers who I really am. The girl whose life she destroyed and heart she smashed into a thousand pieces.
But soon, I’ll learn just how far Gemma will go to stop the truth about her past – and who she really is – from coming out. Because she wants something from me too…
And by the end of the week, one of us will be dead.
An utterly gripping and addictive psychological thriller that will keep you flipping the pages deep into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Emily Shiner and Daniel Hurst.

My Review
You would think I would get fed up with psychological thrillers, the amount I read. Well, when I read a book like I Want What You Have, it reminds me that every book I read is unique in characters and plot. This book did not disappoint in any way, shape, or form!
Gemma wins a competition to go to a fertility retreat. it’s for 4, so she invites her best friend, Sophy, too. The competition was run from Addie’s instagram page, which is a social media influencer. This is going to be the retreat of a lifetime, but not in the way Gemma anticipated!
Told from the three women’s point of view, the story unfolds, and we are taken back 20 years to events that will change their experience of the retreat and the coming times.
Twisty and well written, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story seemed pretty clear until it didn’t! Hayley Smith does a great job building the tension, to the point of me being sat up straight and turning the pages at a speed!!!
The final chapter just finished me off, too! I just didn’t expect that at all! Every emotion runs through this book, and boy, it is intense!
