Stories We Never Told by Sonja Yoerg
4.0
In this slow-burn psychological suspense, psychologist Jackie is confronted by a lot of little “shocks” in a row and has a midlife crisis of sorts. It starts at a dinner where her ex of five years, Harlan, brings another woman, Nasira, as his date. Nasira is Jackie’s new graduate assistant. This would seem like just awkward territory, particularly since Jackie is now happily married to Miles (so why should she give a hoot?), but Jackie freaks out and starts stalking the happy couple… then finds out more than she wanted to know.
This was the second book I’ve read by Sonja Yeorg, and quite different from the first! I went into it expecting one thing, and it turned into rather another with lots of thriller elements and gaslighting and side stories from many secondary characters. Everyone has secrets. The second half of the novel was when things really started to pick up for me as the pieces began to fall into place. It took a little while for the characters in this novel to grow on me because at first they all seemed kind of shady (it reminded me of “Gone Girl” in that respect), but the plot had me turning pages and I was eager to see how it ended!
