I almost quit reading this book about 100 pages in, but decided to persevere. I disliked all of the characters; Elizabeth/Lily/Juliette was not believable as written, Bella was an annoying afterthought, Nate was whiny and spineless. There was no resolution in the plot. The ending was not really an ending. It could have been the end of any of the other chapters in the book.

She’s actually mental, but her tenacity is admirable.

Juliette is so crazy it’s actually kind of creepy! But overall I think it’s a good thriller kind of book and would recommend it.

Imagine breaking up with someone and you think all is good, but it’s not. This is literally Juliette. She is determined to do whatever she can to get back with Nate and she is willing to go to whatever lengths she has to, to get it done.
A great psychological thriller that will only have you turning the pages faster than ever, but it will also make you want to sleep with one eye open just in case you find an ex that is having a hard time letting you go in your house.
Hamilton delves deep into Juliette’s brain and lets her readers insider her mind, it’s almost as if we are actually her. Juliette is such an interesting character and this is one of those books where you will find yourself rooting for her. Throughout the novel we learn more about her past and why she is the way she is and you almost sympathize with her. With books like these, I don’t know why, but I always find myself rooting for the villain. (I guess that’s a bit of a stretch?) I can almost guarantee that you will be on her side by the end of the novel.
It’s always interesting to read books like this because it’s always enjoyable to see how far a person will go to get what they want and let me tell you that Juliette will do the impossible to be with Nate.
The twist, for me, changed the whole way I read the novel. It will change everything for you and you finally understand why Juliette is doing what she is doing. I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s a must read for thriller fans and it’s a wild ride!
Thank you HarperCollins Canada for providing me with an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Oh, I enjoyed this one. I can’t believe this is her first published novel! This had many twists, cringing parts. This gives a whole new level to obsession.
