by Ingrid Alexandra 4 stars for this thriller! thank you to the publisher and author for the e-book in enhance for my honest review.

first of all thank you for the chance to read this before it hits shelves later this year in return for an honest review. At first I was kind of confused on what was going on I wont lie, but the further I read, it started to make sense to me, I didn't have the ending figured out yet. I really liked her friend Cat, and was a little worried about Rachel for sure, I mean she just gave off that vibe. The diary entries is what made me confused, but I liked it in the end. I liked the ending it made all the ties and connections I needed for the book to make sense to me.

A good psychological thriller which soon pulls you in to the story. As a fan of these type of books it was an overall gripping read.

I went into this blind just based off the cover and enjoyed it. I would recommend this to any other fans of thrillers, it was a intense and interesting read.

Started off to be quite an interesting read. But slowly went down hill. Totally lost all interest which was sad as the description to the book had sounded fantastic

Thank you Avon Books and Net Galley for an early release of The New Girl. Spellbinding, couldn't put it down, I needed to get to the ending to find out exactly what happened. Loved this book.

2.5stars rounded down.
I found this book hard to dive in to. The first 30% was not very captivating at all. It picked up a little after that but overall I was not impressed. Sorry. I was really hopeful because the description was really great and I had high expectations.

I blew through this over the weekend and loved it! I enjoy the character and how real they seem. I've known or heard about a few Rachels before and this story was told wonderfully. I loved the writing which in turn made the story that more enjoyable.

Book Description
You’ve only just met.
But she already knows you so well.
When Rachel moves into the spare room in Mary’s flat, everyone is quick to jump to the conclusion that there’s something strange about her. Everyone apart from Mary.

My Thoughts
There is something about the central character Mary that just isn't quite right. There are hints of things that happened in her past that continue to haunt her. She is close to her roommates Cat and Ben and they are actively seeking a fourth roommate(Rachel), though, for some reason, strangers tend to make Mary quite uncomfortable. Mary writes in a journal and mentions her therapist so we know something happened that caused her to seek professional help. The what and why are slowly exposed as The New Girl heads toward a twisty and surprising conclusion.
This wasn't a book that grabbed my attention on the first page. Once I had read about 35%, what I thought was going on and what actually occurred were polar opposites. I wasn't anywhere close in my guess on how it would end, but overall I felt there were quite a few highs and lows in the story. I would certainly try the author's next book since for me this was a good but not great read.
Thank you, Ingrid Alexandra, Avon Books UK and NetGalley for the complimentary digital ARC.

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, I was a little bit anxious about starting this book after reading mixed reviews, I found it a bit confusing at times sadly it wasn't for me.

first book that i am reading from this author and i have mixed feelings about it! Started reading it and having in mind that it was a psychological thriller, but i believe it wasnt exactly that - having said that though, it was a good book! ..., and i really liked the ending!!

Interesting way of writing, so i will check out the books of this author in the future!

Sorry but couldn't get into this book. Gave up after just 29%. I may come back to it again sometime in the future but not for me at this time.

Hmmmm not sure how I feel about this one. It wasn't in my opinion a psychological thriller but it was good.

Thank you Net Galley for a ARC
honestly I was convinced I had this figured out. I thought is was a little more of psychological thriller that I enjoyed. The ending took my breath away!

How do you know who you can trust? And who do you trust enough to share your apartment with? Mary has let Rachel move into her flat, and while others find Rachel odd, even disturbing, Mary finds herself confiding more and more to her new roommate. Her bitter break-up has destroyed her and it’s so nice to have someone to talk to. Rachel seems to know everything Mary needs, she’s always there. This book started off a little slowly and then I found it took off in a direction I never anticipated. Worth the read for the surprise you’re sure to get

Couldn't get into this storyline at all so unfortunately I gave up on it.

Based on this I don't think I would read more from this author.

Hmmmm not sure how I feel about this one. It wasn't in my option a psychological thriller but it was good. Mary lives in an apartment with two roommates Ben and Cat. While she is trying to get over her ex boyfriend and the abuse she endured from him. A new girl Rachel moves into their flat. Cat automatically distrusts her and warns her against Mary but Mary likes her. Senses a kindred spirit in her. Little does she know that trusting this new girl will change her life forever and not necessarily in a good way. Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for the oppurtunity to read this book.

The New Girl started of really well, it was quite a gripping read at times but towards the end it sort of lost the way and got quite confusing.
