The Review 📚 The Therapist
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I have read a few of B.A. Paris’ books in the past and I keep trying to find one I totally fall in love with. Thanks to Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this book.
💜 What I liked:
- I really wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery and see who did kill Nina and what this neighborhood was covering up. There are a few twists at the end that are pretty jaw dropping.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- I am not sure this author is for me. The middle lagged a bit as it seemed there wasn’t a lot to explore or go. The main character is not as complex or nuanced as other characters I have read who have PTSD/survivors complex issues. Also one of the bits of info was dropped and glossed over then this could have been alluded to more in the book.
💁♀️ The Characters:
- Emily and Leo move to a new house in The Circle and meet new people including Eve and Will, Tamsin and Connor, and Maria.
🚦 My face at the end: 😳
💭 3 Reasons to Read:
- Super speedy read
- Jaw dropping twists at the end
- Creepy “alone in the house” vibes
🕧 Mini-Summary:
- Emily moves to a new house, but she doesn’t know that Nina has died there a few years ago.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Received from Netgalley.
