About this ebook

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

"An eerie thriller...Pinborough keeps us guessing about just who’s manipulating whom – until the ending reveals that we’ve been wholly complicit in this terrifying mind game.” —The New York Times Book Review

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.

Fun and easy read but doesn't make much sense considering the ending. I was led to this book by a very intriguing preview of a limited series on Netflix, and I wanted to read the book before watching it. I finished the book in no time as I wanted to learn "the truth". I thought I could predict the ending, but then there was another chapter. I thought the preview looked amazing, but after having read the book I can already tell I will be disappointed with the mini series and the casting.

I was intrigued by the description, so had to read it! Not to be a spoiler, but I almost started a second reading just to see what clues I missed. Ending was very trippy and might have been more believable if the Adam and Adele characters relationship was more detailed. Still a fun read, even though all the characters were all pretty unsympathetic.

I was looking for new authors to read and 2 nights ago I came across this book read the free sample and got it that night. I was so hooked. As I write this I'm not finished with the book yet but I will be and I'm so excited about the ending the book but I don't want it to end. I'm so excited to read more books from this author! Definitely 5+ stars!
