NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The instant New York Times and #1 international bestseller. "You should read Behind Her Eyes...It's bloody brilliant." --Stephen King

Why is everyone talking about the ending of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes?

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she's thrilled she finally connected with someone.

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar...who says the kiss was a terrible mistake, but who still can't keep his eyes off Louise.

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who's new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you've read before.

David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him?

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele's orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can't guess how wrong--and how far a person might go to protect their marriage's secrets.

In Behind Her Eyes, Sarah Pinborough has written a novel that takes the modern day love triangle and not only turns it on its head, but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave readers reeling.

Behind Her Eyes is about a girl named Louise and she meets a guy in the bar and they hit it off! Then she finds out that he is going to be her boss. yikes. and then!! she meets his wife, so he is also married. Louise wants to end things but then she becomes best friends with Adele (his wife) and things go downhill from there.

This is the best thriller i have ever read. Sarah Pinborough is excellent at creating characters that are unlikable, but also you feel for them. Throughout the book you start learning more about "adele" and why she is the way she is. You find out that she was in a mental institute for a while after her parents died and she meets a guy named Rob and they become super close.

This is the most complex thriller, most thought out thriller ever. The last chapter. THE LAST CHAPTER. You find out about dreams and how there is a magical realism aspect to it as well. i loved it.

The ending left me SHOOK. You could never guess it. I read it super fast and i recommend it to everyone now. ROB WAS ADELE THE WHOLE TIME. I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS.

What a total mind-fuck. I had so many questions throughout the whole book but the author did a good job of tying it all together.
