This book was more disturbing than entertaining. I really struggled to get through the antagonist’s pov chapters because he was deliberately repulsive. In that way the author executed the story perfectly, I just didn’t find it enjoyable however well it was written.

Another great read by Lisa jewell! I love her writing style, the twists and suspense. She is such a great author. I recommend her to many of my reader friends. This book was suspenseful, and kept you wondering and guessing how the story would go. Nice character build and storyline.

I had such high hopes for this one, especially after the trip that was None of This is True. I found this to be too predictable and a little silly at times. Not quite a thriller, more a drama. Though once I was in it, I needed to know how it played out.

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.

4.25 ⭐ woah! Lisa Jewell is the master of a domestic suspense. This is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish! The only thing keeping me from a perfect 5 star score is I wish there was a bit more backstory/lore/etc. explained about some of the main characters. And a few I just felt were written as if they were going to end up quite differently but it was alas a red herring in the writing - but I cannot determine if that was purposeful or not. Either way - I was highly entertained!

Thus was just a great read! I think one of her best and doesn’t THAT say enough? Toxic men are everywhere and this really hit hard in today’s world. Thanks to NBetGalley and the publisher for this treat!

Loved the storyline and plot! Just a bit of a slow burn for my liking but would absolutely recommend this book!

Lisa Jewell fans, are you ready for one of her best thrillers to date?! This domestic thriller creates many webs of one man's lies as he womanizes his way through life. What seems as a confusing timeline between the varying POVs, it all comes together for a satisfying ending that soared this new book by Lisa up to the top of my favorites list. I've been on the hunt for a good thriller for a few months now and this one fit the bill. Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for the chance to read Lisa's new thriller before its June release!

This review contains spoilers.
At first I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book. I was a few chapters in and I kept finding myself confused. There were alternating POVs and unnamed narrators and multiple names and people - I was a bit overwhelmed. I found myself going back to the beginning to see if I had read something and, because I was reading on a Kindle, that was also distracting. However. Wow. I kept going because I haven't found a Lisa Jewell novel that I haven't enjoyed and I knew my perseverance would be rewarded. Again, wow. This was such a page-turner full of twists and surprises. Just when you think you've gotten to the bottom of how nefarious and deceitful Al/Nick, etc. is, you are given yet another surprise. Yes, it was a lot. And there were times when I wondered how much we could possibly learn about this man and his many, many deceits and crimes. But instead of it causing a distraction, it made the story richer and more fast-paced. Not to mention it gave us a character that fit squarely in that "love to hate" category. Rooting for his comeuppance became a motivator in turning the pages.
So, in spite of a confusing start (at least for me), this easily became one of Lisa Jewell's strongest thrillers. It was a bit more graphic than some of her others but the story was perfectly twisty and thrilling.
This is an obvious purchase for my library's collection. Pass along to anyone looking for a thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 for this twisty and engaging new novel by Lisa Jewell. I had a difficult time moving on to other things because I kept wondering what would happen next. Each character was so well done, and it was a few chapters in before I could put it all together, but when I did, I was hooked. Then I just wanted it to keep going! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

It pains me to say this, but this might be my least favorite book by Lisa Jewell. I usually know what to expect from her novels, but this one was not what I anticipated. I didn't feel it was a true thriller. While I was invested in understanding why Nick was conning the three women, I found that there weren't any significant twists. The storyline felt more like a drama. Reading about how this con man deceived the women was entertaining, but I take away a caution to not trust anyone after reading this. Ultimately, I was not satisfied with the book.

Thank you to NetGallery and to Atria Books for my copy.

WOW WOW WOW
HUGE thanks to Net Galley & Lisa Jewel for this arc in exchange for my honest review!!!

I PHYSICALLY could not turn these pages fast enough! There were multiple times that my eyes were burninggg because I was trying to read so fast while not missing a single detail. It did take me a hot minute at the beginning to nail down the different POVs and timelines but once I did and things started to click… boy oh boy!!! I even went back and read the prologue because everything was falling into place so beautifully and mind blowing! This felt like true crime & honestly could be. I could go on and on about how the author will drag you in and keep you hooked and then staring at a blank wall when you’re done with this book, but I don’t have the time or energy to sing all the praises this book deserves because I am still REELING from this one.

Read it. Now.

I love Lisa Jewell. Her stories are kinda silly and unbelievable but she is just such a compelling writer I cannot put anything she writes down.

I thought it started off good and I like the premise but it got to be a little too much to keep up with

i ultimately decided to request this book because i have enjoyed a handful of lisa jewell’s previous books. however, i have decided to dnf at 53%. lisa writes books that always keep you on the edge of your seat and i was excited to get the opportunity for this book before publish date. i liked the pace of the short chapters, however i ultimately didn’t finish the book because of the complex characters and the pov changes. personally, it took me the entire part one to figure out who was who, and the switching between first person POV and third person POV really took me out of the book. i think this book would be really enjoyable to readers who can look past these elements and are in the mood for an exciting read!

I was so excited to receive this ARC and the description sounded great but then I began reading and I kept wishing it would end already but it kept on like the energizer bunny!!

Pros:
1. Description
2. It Ended

Cons:
1. Bounced around way too much and for no reason.
2. Why did gender dysphoria/identity have to be brought into it? There was no reason for it.
3. Overall just terrible

Lisa Jewell has an incredible flair for the unexpected. Though there are many characters to keep track of in this one, it only makes it more interesting.

It would be difficult to give a synopsis without giving away the plot, so I’ll just rant and rave about the superb writing, the great characterization and the jaw-dropping ending. This is a one-of-a-kind plot that renders the reader hopelessly attached to turning pages late into the night. Wow, is it good. Thank you, NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced reader copy.

Lisa Jewell has done is again! A page turner I didn't want to put down.

In this book Nick Radcliff (or is it??) invades the life of Nina and Aisling Swann after their husband and father Paddy Swann dies a tragic death. Nick seems too good to be true and Ash doesn't believe he is.

In a second story line Martha is a florist who is trying to give her husband Alistair the benefit of the doubt, raise her teenage sons and her toddler daughter, and run a successful floral business with a busband who is either over the top caring or absent and unavailable.

The storylines collide in a way that could be true and that is when all is revealed.

Positives:
Fast paced with short chapters
Told from different povs and timelines
The characterization was well developed and made you root for or AGAINST each character
The thriller was so well written you could easily see it happening

Negatives:
Because of the nature of the storyline, there were a lot of characters to keep track of. I kept notes.

This is one of my favorites by an author I will always read. Will recommend this one to readers of thrillers as soon as it comes out! Shocking, full of twists and turns, and immersive. So well done!

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and the author, Lisa Jewell for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It is hard to say much about this book without giving too much away.

You have multiple POVs. Nina, a recently widowed woman living with her adult daughter, Ash who has had her own personal trauma. Enter Nick Radcliffe, a charming man who claims to have known Paddy, Nina’s deceased husband. As he begins to date Nina, Ash becomes suspicious of him and begins to investigate.

Martha who owns a flower shop is married to Al. She lives with her two sons and their young daughter, Nala. Al is not reliable and tends to disappear for days at a time. He always returns with excuses and more promises to do better.

There is also a pov told from yers ago. Somehow they all intertwine.

This was a twisty and fun read. I loved all parts of the story/all of the main characters. And it all tied together nicely. I would definitely read more books by Lisa Jewell.

Lisa Jewell is such an amazing writer. Don’t Let Him In was a great read. So many twists and turns and connections, very suspenseful!
