SYNOPSIS:
Imagine seeing your loving husband on a dating app. Now imagine that’s the best thing to happen to you all week …
When Charlie sees a man who is the spitting image of her husband Oliver on a dating app, her heart stops. Her first desperate instinct is to tell herself she must be mistaken – after all, she only caught a glimpse from a distance as her friends were laughingly swiping through the men on offer. But no matter how much she tries to push her fears aside, she can’t because she took that photo. On their honeymoon. She just can’t let it go.
Suddenly other signs of betrayal begin to add up and so Charlie does the only thing she can think of to defend her position – she signs up to the app to catch Oliver in the act.
But Charlie soon discovers that infidelity is the least of her problems. Nothing is as it seems and nobody is who she thinks they are ...
MY THOUGHTS:
This is a fast-paced page-turner which I couldn't get enough of. I loved how the book was divided into Episodes rather than chapters and how it was featured like a diary with the date and time added to each section.
Charlie is a likeable character but there were times when I though she may be exaggerating or was overly paranoid. As the story unfolds I could feel the tension and danger ramping up keeping me on the edge of my seat. There are definitely times within the novel where you don't know what or who to believe. I was desperately trying to piece together all the clues and although I did make some correct predictions I was still shocked to discover that I had some things completely wrong.
The Strangers We Know is a chilling psychological thriller, with lots of twists and turns. Many thanks to Sarah at Harwood PR and Simon & Schuster UK for a gifted copy of The Stranger We Know which I thoroughly enjoyed.
