Because I Was Lonely by Hayley Mitchell

4.0

Finished this last night and it was for sure a special read. It’s Hayley Mitchell’s debut novel with Red Door Publishing but it will not be her last. The first chapter had me sitting with my chin on my chest, scared to read the next page. The best opening to a book I have ever read. The intense build up has you screaming at Rachel!

The book is in two parts and I have to say there is a subtle change in theme between the two. Part two of the book threw me a little, I was expecting it to take a different route. So that was also a great play by Hayley Mitchell.

My favourite character was Julie. I felt incredibly sorry for her and would love to have taken her to lunch and say leave!!!

Hayley Mitchell has a great talent of setting the scene and mood without using unnecessary long-winded words. The pace of the book is super and you are always on your toes from beginning to end.

I would encourage you to snap this up and add Hayley to your watch list!
