Holy shit aklsjdlakjslkajsda. This was so good. I loved [b:The Kind Worth Killing|21936809|The Kind Worth Killing|Peter Swanson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1417981750s/21936809.jpg|41240456], also by this author and I was eager to pick up this book too! But then I started reading all these bad reviews and I put off reading it for a while but I finally ordered it off bookoutlet for a cheap price and read it last night and aklsjdlkajslda. It was so FUCKING GOOD. The synopsis literally gives away nothing and there are so many plot twists omg. This is definitely one of my new favorite thrillers and probably one of my favorites of the year!

The story follows Kate, a woman who suffers from anxiety living in London, and she decides to swap apartments with her second cousin Corbin (who she's never met) who lives in Boston for six months. He's going to be working in London so he needs a place to stay and she gets to experience America for the first time for six months. Within the first night she's at his apartment, there is a woman found murdered in the apartment next door - and the story really takes off from there and that's just the beginning. This is such a fucking page turner, I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. It's been a long time since I have completely devoured a book and became so engrossed in the story I couldn't think about anything else and this story definitely did that for me!

Peter Swanson is so fucking good at crafting amazing mysteries and building suspense! Some of the plot twists I saw coming but were still revealed in such a clever way! Other twists I didn't see coming and I was so shook and excited. The title is so perfect because this novel really plays off of Kate's anxiety and her fears. But I was much more interested in Corbin's story that goes on in this book because it was completely unexpected and surprising! I love the way in this one, just like in [b:The Kind Worth Killing|21936809|The Kind Worth Killing|Peter Swanson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1417981750s/21936809.jpg|41240456], Peter Swanson changes POV's so often throughout the story, and he does it so effortlessly and every POV has a purpose in the story! And these characters are all so fucking up and so interesting and everything I want and expect from a good thriller!

I'm just so excited because I kind of went in with low expectations and I was so fucking excited when I ended up loving it! Definitely one of my favorite thrillers now and one of my favorite books of 2017. Don't listen to the negative reviews, read this book for yourself.
