There was much to like and dislike about this book. Loved the narrator, the setting, the idea behind this story so much.
I felt like it meandered and could have been better edited. There were also times toward the end that (not a spoiler) you cannot believe that Louise would be that stupid, gullible, and naive.
However, it fit into the ending. And the ending was awesome.

what the hell with that ending!?!?!?
[UPDATE] Behind Her Eyes was promoted by publisher as a shock-twist ending thriller book especially with a tagline “Why is everyone talking about the ending of Behind Her Eyes?”. If you type “behind her eyes ” in Google, their first suggestion is “behind her eyes ending”. Moreover, It also was hyped to be the next Gone Girl or The Girl on The Train along with #WTFthatending.

This is another page-turner that you cannot put down. If you were however looking for neat conclusion or real-life thrillers, this is not for you. The story has a strong paranormal theme.
I would categorize it as a thriller or horror story but not a psychological thriller, because what is at play here is clearly parapsychology and not real psychology. The plot is also driven by the incredible stupidity of one main character.

Starts off as a fairly middling "thriller" fueled by baffling motivations and contrived developments. Then, two thirds of the way through the story, switches genres and becomes a fantasy read in order to deliver its preposterous "twist".
Worst read of 2017 to date. I realize it's early, but this one's going to be tough to beat. ...more

3.5 stars. Really gripping story, and it's true: no one is guessing that ending. Really hard to put down and I have a soft spot for language and expressions unique to the UK. Read if you're in the mood for a bit of a mind-bender.
