Goodreads
The Perfect Stranger was actually my very first ever adult thriller. I was expecting a fast-paced mystery, but instead, was disappointed with a very slow, drawn-out plot. The story is about this girl that moves into the country with her roommate, she eventually realizes that her roommate has not been home for a while.
By a while, I mean it took her about 5 days to realize her roommate was missing. In a way I kind of understand this, because obviously they have their own lives and jobs and everything, but at the same time, if you haven't heard from your roommate for several days, when you both normally keep in touch, you'd think it would have taken her a little less time to finally think "hey, I think something may have happened to my roommate"...
Basically, it took almost half the book just for the main character to realize her roommate was missing. Once we move past the whole missing roommate, we finally start to see things happening. Honestly, I think things could have been a little more exciting and faster-paced.
I have to admit that the ending really surprised me. The whole book, I thought I had it all figured out, but was very surprised how it actually turned out. It's mostly because of this that I ended up giving it 3 out of 5 stars, considering I almost DNF'D it halfway through. I just couldn't connect to the main character and the first half of the book was slow, but closer to the ending is when I started enjoying it.
I hope you enjoyed this review, and don't forget to check out my social media for more bookish fun! :)
