Elizabeth Day just wrote a fantastic, riveting and nail-biting psychological thriller.
Magpie sucked me in right away and I devoured it. I really enjoyed the unique plot interesting characters. It all comes to a head with some fascinating character changes as well as thought provoking.
The plot was fast-paced the entire way through.
This just hit a perfect balance of mystery, thrills,
You won't find a more compelling, dynamite storytelling in many books and I'm really hoping this won't be the last I read of Elizabeth Day.

This is exciting, twisty, high tension, character driven, claustrophobic, intense book I was drawn into at the first chapter and I couldn’t put it down! Definitely worths to your cancellations in your life!
Marisa decides to move with Jake and build a new life with him including having a baby even though she has known for a few months. But their financial struggle force them have a lodger Kate who doesn’t respect to personal bounds and privacy, having interest in Jake that puts poor Marisa into unputdownable position! Did they know each other? What Marisa keeps into herself that ruin everything she’s built?
In the middle of the book : I just got punched by the twist that I never saw it coming.
Tension building was perfect, character development was detailed, layered, realistic, pacing was riveting.
I was so close to give five stars but ending was a little far fetched. I was expecting something more surprising, wild!
Without giving much away, I honestly recommend it to thriller lovers who like to read something heart pounding, addictive, unputdownable!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Simon& Schuster for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

Phenomenal read.
Marisa and Jake are a perfect couple. And Kate, their new lodger, is the perfect roommate—and not just because her rent payments will give them the income they need to start trying for the baby of their dreams. Except—no one is truly perfect. Sure, Kate doesn’t seem to care much about personal boundaries and can occasionally seem overly-familiar with Jake. But Marisa doesn’t let it concern her, knowing that soon Kate will be gone, and it will just be her, Jake, and their future baby. Conceiving a baby is easier said than done, though, and Jake and Marisa’s perfect relationship is put to the test through months of fertility treatments and false starts. To make matters worse, Kate’s boundary-pushing turns into an all-out obsession—with Jake, with Marisa, and with their future child. Who is this woman? Why does she seem to know everything about Marisa and Jake?
In her quest to find out who Kate really is, Marisa might destroy everything she’s worked so hard to create—her perfect romance, her perfect family, and her perfect self.
Wow. What was this? A really really beautifully written novel with so much suspense.
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon Schuster for giving me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A compelling tale of a marriage, a couples journey to parenthood and obsession. This was a fun ride because I just had to know who Kate was. It was the tale of a familiar stranger. This story was developed well and had good character development. Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

What a crazy ride. This thriller took me up and down, and spun me around so much with its crazy plot twists. I was so excited to read this one. It had so much potential but the last few chapters were a let down.
I don’t even know how to properly explain this without ruining it. This is one you’re gonna have to read for yourself. The tangled web this author weaved still has my head spinning.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
