Anita answers “Can someone please explain the ending to...”

Lou James asked this question about Behind Her Eyes:

Can someone please explain the ending to me? , I'm so confused !!!

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[To make a long story short, Rob is LGBT but he never tells his friends. He has low self esteem and he is a drug addict. At this point, nobody knows he is LGBT or a very dangerous psychopath. What makes him so dangerous is that Rob is very organized, thorough, detailed, and a real genious but he goes way beyond abusing his intelligence since he is a psychopath.. We all think Rob is just a victim and product of his environment.

Rob learns about the dream tricks from Adele and he uses them to hurt people. Adele is clueless about Rob. Rob uses his charm but he is extremely dangerous. When he meets David, he falls for David and sees Adele as a threat. His twisted mind is working so he has plans to get Adele out of the way. He does body switching with Adele and kills her with overdose of drugs. This happens while he is in Adele's body and vice versa. While Adele is in Robs body, she does not even have a chance to wake up before he kills her. She dies because she is in Ron's dead body. The worst mistake Adele made was to lend/give Rob the notebook about Lucid dreams.

Rob in Adele's body marries David who is clueless as to who his wife really is. Rob/Adele makes David miserable with his behavior and he is way too possessive and obsessive of David. David just thinks his wife is very disturbed. He still does not know that is really Rob.

When Rob finds out about Louise, he goes ballistic and uses his dream tricks to spy on David and Louise. As the reading went, I thought "Adele" had a nanny cam installed in there lol. This was before the out of body travel business gets exposed to readers.

Rob/Adele plans the whole thing to last detail how to get rid of Louise. While "Adele" is "friending" Louise, the real Rob is scheming. Rob goes as far as giving the book to Louise to make sure the body switch takes place so he can kill Louise while she is in "Adele's" body and he is in Louise body. Sadly the plan works. David still has no clue. He is certain it is Louise when it is actually Rob. Poor David.

I think there should be a sequel because now Rob wants to get Adam out of the way as well as Ian. He already broke the friendship with Sophie by ratting out her affairs to Sophie's husband. Anyone who Rob feels threatens his relationship with David, Rob will hurt them. (hide spoiler)]
