Given that The Girl Before has caused quite a stir among the fans of thrillers, I chose to read it out of curiosity. Personally, I was absorbed in this novel and I couldn't go to sleep without finding out what would happen next with the two female protagonists. Even though I found the entire idea of this book a little far-fetched, I was able to overlook this aspect and enjoy J.P. Delaney's thriller. The writing style was silly at times and in the end there were too many twists to my taste and these are the reasons why I couldn't rate this novel higher than 4 stars. In comparison with other books belonging to the thriller genre I have read this year, The Girl Before is certainly one of the best and I recommend it to be part of your reading list.
