Just One Look - NetGalley Review

 This debut was released July 27, but I am just a bit late in reviewing, but I did enjoy this novel.


*I received a free copy of this novel from NetGalley and Random House Publishing and Ballantine Books for my honest review.*


Who wouldn't want a chance to snoop into someone else's life AND get paid for it? But then we also get to see the dark side of this snooping through Cassie when she moves into a slightly manic stalking phase.


Cassie's back story unfolds tantalizingly slowly and the reveal was a bit of a shock, but helps explain quite a bit about her frame of mind. Or does it?


It was hard to like any of the characters, but the story was so intriguing to me that I was able to keep with it and did enjoy it. A few twists and plot lines that didn't seem to fit immediately, but the final reveal was gratifying. And the plot flowed well. And for some reason, I did not really spend any time wondering why Cassie was doing what she was doing. Well, maybe a couple of times. She does let the alcohol control things to an extent.


Four stars from me.
