The blurb of the book is completely misleading. This isn’t a thriller but rather a psychological novel. The beginning started so slowly and the end of the book was so weird. I honestly have no idea what I just read.

I am not usually a suspense reader but this one had me captivated. A friend saw I was reading and asked what I thought and a metaphor about “The Yellow Wallpaper” came to mind. 

Couple of other thoughts:

• I couldn’t quite place this in time. At first I thought the 50s but then some other things were mentioned and I thought maybe the 80s? Either way,
  the trip she takes to Maine
  could not have happened in modern times. 
• I was about a third of the way through the book when I realized we don’t actually know her name
  and then was very surprised to see it in the last line of the book.

I would watch the EVERLOVING daylights out of a TV or stage adaptation. As is, it just felt like the wrong medium for the story - predictable and a bit grating. But as a televised series or ‘Woman in Black’ stage show, I think it could be fantastic!
