Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell
3.0
Thank you to Atria Pub and Netgalley for a free copy.
I feel like this rating will be deceptive. I love Lisa Jewell and her books. I look forward to them.
This one just fell a tad flat for me. I didn’t hate the storyline or the way it played out.
I struggle w gaslighting. I don’t love it in books. But I can get past that because it’s a clear part of the plot. You can tell by just reading the synopsis. See below the part that really lost it for me.
The book was fine. The writing was great, as always. I just feel that marketing this as a thriller is giving an expectation this book cannot meet. This is a domestic drama.
I genuinely cannot get past consistent lying by men that’s so far fetched that women believe it. I just cannot. Nor the money aspect. A guy who you’re married to turns off his phone for days at a time. Then he comes back and is like oh o need £500 for my sick mother. He told you his mother was dead. And you just fork over the money? You should be bankrupt.
