Emily’s life is stressful as she goes through a nasty divorce. A feeling of dread and foreboding quickly becomes a sensation of being watched and stalked. Is her mind playing tricks on her because of her damaging divorce, or has she become prey to an unknown hunter? I was engrossed and entertained. This character driven thriller pulled me in immediately. I enjoyed the conclusion although it felt slightly rushed. Thank you Booksprout for my copy.

Emily is ready to divorce her husband, Teddy, and then she gets derailed by an obvious stalker. There are signs of someone breaking into her home, reading her emails, and watching her with surveillance added to her home. She obviously suspects her soon-to-be-ex, but could it be her new fling, William? This quick read will have you thinking is Emily paranoid, who can be trusted, and who is in rue danger.

I enjoyed the fast pace, quick read!

I throughly enjoyed If only you knew, it was very character driven which is a big aspect for me that i always look out for. I found myself hooked in the book very quickly unable to put it down. My only complaint is that the ending felt very rushed but other than that it was a very enjoyable read. 3.5 star

A tumultuous thriller detailing the difficulties Emily is facing as she tries to extricate herself from her abusive ex-husband. This book overall was an easy read with several shocking moments, but I felt it lacked the traditional thriller vibe. It felt more like a domestic drama that detailed significant difficulties Emily went through as she navigated through a messy divorce. The story itself was not difficult to read, was overall well written with good character development.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC, all opinions are my own

I'd like to preface my review with the thought that this book could be a trigger. Read some reviews before reading the book.

I started this book then set it down then picked it back up. I'm glad I did. I think it started a little slow for me and that's why I got bored with the first few chapters. But, once it starts going it's pretty much non stop. I felt so bad for Emily; it was just one thing after another with barely any time to breathe. I figured it out quite early, not the whole whole thing, but enough for it to still be a crazy ride.

Thanks for the ability to review this book.

If Only You Knew was an absolutely captivating and thrilling read!
Emily is in the midst of a horrible divorce from an abusive husband, whose family name has everyone on his side. When things start to escalate in Emily’s life she really has to decide just who to trust.

I really enjoyed this story, parts of it made me feel so tense as if I was living through Emily’s experience with her. I kept wondering just exactly what was going on and could never quite pinpoint it! But I thoroughly enjoyed how everything wrapped up in the end.
Thanks to netgalley and Inkubator Books for the arc!

It's a good thriller with a plot heavy storyline! I would recommend it to everyone who loves a good thriller but you should check the trigger warnings!

If Only You Knew starts off a slow burn and focus on stalking situation that escalates terrific story of survival. I found the story line intriguing as the MC, Emily had me at the edge of my seat with the decisions that she kept doing. I found the author did well with developing the characters and appreciate the possible research that was made in order to make Emily's divorce very realistic. There are several triggers to be warn about such an abuse and violent/emotional scenarios.

I read this book in one day. This book was a great, action packed whodunit that kept me guessing until the end,

This is my second Theo Baxter book, and I truly love his books. It will not be my last.

Thanks Netgalley for my copy.

I wasn't impressed with this book. 2 star rating for me

i really wanted to love this book but sadly i didn’t enjoy it at all. it started so well and i was excited to continue the “shocking thriller” but there was nothing shocking

I was expecting a sinister thriller, but this was simply an account of Emily and Teddy’s nasty divorce.

It started good but then was a bit slow the ending was ok

If only you knew by Theo Baxter.
I do love this author.  This is book 8 I've read. I loved the cover. Wow. I did enjoy this book.  I liked Emily. I really didn't like Teddy. I did like how William was trying to help Emily in the end. This was unputdownable. I liked Laura and their Father. That did surprise me.  4*.

This was a very entertaining and thrilling read for me! As someone who loves psychological thrillers (movies and books), I can honestly say this was very captivating.
 
It’s really hard to find a good thriller, but this one was enjoyable!
 
I will say though, it doesn’t really keep you guessing, unfortunately, but it’s still very much worth the read. A fun and riveting adventure!
 
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy!
