I throughly enjoyed this, the twists kept me on the edge of my seat and I needed to know more. The charecter development was amazing and just as I believed I had it all figured out the entire thing twisted on its head

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.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book ahead of time in exchange for a review. You should read it!

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!

3.5⭐️

it started really well and i was getting ready to continue the thrilling effect but there was nothing shocking or thrilling about it. I ended up not enjoying it so well

Overall very good book! Kept me reading the whole time and interested in what would be happening next. Original plot line!

Thank you, NetGalley for the opportunity to read this early access book. It’s released now but, I’m thankful that I got to read it. I enjoyed this book a lot. Some of the things that happened were extremely insane and probably didn’t need to happen but, I still enjoyed reading it.

I predicted one of the twists but the many twists that followed I didn’t predict.

Overall, good book and if you love twists you’ll enjoy this one even if some of them are a little “too” much 🙃

Having read a few Theo Baxter books I knew what to expect this was a good enjoyable read. I flew through it. Nothing spectacular but would read more of his books again. Thank you for the opportunity to review

I’ve read a couple of stalker thriller books recently and that might be why I did not enjoy this book as much. This book was a little too fast paced for my taste both overall I didn’t dislike it too much.

This was a fast paced thriller that's under 300 pages. Emily becomes repetitive at times and I didn't care for her as a FMC. I found myself finishing it just to see who the stalker was.

I truly enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who loves domestic suspense as much as I do. I have begun reading other books by Theo Baxter and will continue to, as they are well-written, perfectly plotted and seem to contain all the elements that make the “till death do us part” genre my all-time favorite.

Thank you to Inkubator Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend. So much so, I have requested to read the author's next book too via NetGalley.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the ARC.

The story had a solid foundation, but I struggled to connect with the characters. The plot twists and events felt implausible and strained belief.

Emily, navigating a difficult divorce from her soon-to-be ex-husband Teddy, faces relentless stalking, harassment, and manipulation throughout the process. The book chronicles the turmoil of the divorce and its aftermath.

While not my favorite read, it wasn’t terrible either. It could benefit from more development and refinement.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for giving me access to the book.

Where do I begin?

Despite initially being interested in this book, reading it felt like a chore. It's short, less than 300 pages which means I should get through it in a day, but I found myself having to take pauses between chapters not because of the huge and sensitive topic, but because I couldn't understand the writer, the characters, and the scenes.

The writing style felt very telling. It's difficult trying to find the sweet balance between having conversations and just repeating things that happened between characters. The writing style left so much on the table, I didn't understand what I was taking away from it.

As a whole, a better writing style might have made the book shine. But the characters especially the main character just soured the show.

Emily suffered majorly at the hands of her mother and then her husband. For someone who really wants to take charge of their life, she felt very comfortable allowing other people to do that.
And I understood she was a victim, and I feel sad for her, but honestly this book isn't a book about resilience. And not all books can but I find that a book like this might have been better written from a perspective of someone who had something in common with Emily. A lot of the things, choices, and actions just didn't make sense.

Teddy was such a caricature that reading about his scenes made my eyes and ears hurt. Then Williams, I have nothing to say about him.

P.S: making Williams bi and then the scene of Emily talking about Sheldon (who's like her father's age) having the hots for Williams was creepy. It didn't need to happen but like ewww.
Also, how does Teddy have Randy's number? Or know Randy? That part made no sense and the explanation for it just made me want to give up.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

As the reader, you are quickly introduced to Teddy’s controlling ways. This was told mainly from Emily’s point of view, and you can see the emotional and mental trauma she has been through. Teddy was the absolute worst, and I did not wish him well. With a stalker present, I did not trust Teddy or William at all. I was suspicious of William due to fact he seemed a little too perfect, and I did question his intentions.

I read the book within hours. It initially started with a bang, but I felt the intensity fizzled out. It became a little repetitive that Emily is looking over her shoulder and scared. I wanted a little bit more suspense and tension. This book was easy to get through, but overall I wanted more.

In a season of some of the most outrageously annoying FMCs in thriller novels, Emily takes the cake! She is the most helpless, hopeless, doormat of a FMC of all time, and things always ~happened~ to her because she never took charge of her life or how she wanted to live it. A lot of her choices made zero sense to me and she was constantly getting herself in worse situations with poor decision making skills and a victim complex. While I empathized with her DV storyline, there was very little development and no resolution.
