A good thriller about a recovering alcoholic with a faulty memory who feels responsible for her boyfriend's suicide. While Astrid's self-flagellation and critical self-talk got to be a bit repetitive, I did commiserate with her constant yearning for a drink and fighting off the impulses. It was a painful reflection of how difficult it must be for a recovering addict.

The last section of the book left me with a bit of OCD as I questioned whether all the revealing details made sense in terms of characterization and previous scenes. I'm not sure I bought into the resolution of all the red herrings. That is to say, when a writer attempts to tie up all the loose ends of the story, believability can be stretched a little too far. At least that was the feeling for me when I finished this book.

Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

This was an enjoyable read even if I guessed who the stalker was. A recovering alcoholic in her thirties moves back in with her mother in a small seaside town in England. She attends AA meetings and tries to get her life back on track. All seems to be getting better slowly but then she realizes she is being followed and receives horrible messages reminding her of the things she did while drunk. The temptation to turn back to alcohol is very strong and not everyone turns out to be who they seem to be. A good book dealing with the many aspects of alcoholism with a good plot.

This book was not I could get through. That being said, for those who like dark mysteries, it might be a good read. I hope to read more by this author to see if perhaps I might enjoy her writing. It does appear that she knows her craft, and the characters are written with a knowledge of knowing how they are thinking...I just don't like the darkness and the subject.

Thank you #netgalley for the advanced copy.

Astrid is a recovering alcoholic who moves back in with her mother in a small beach town. While there, the struggles with the demons of her past while trying to move forward. Astrid meets a unique group at her local AA meetings along with a nice young man who ends up finding her a job. Though she was taking steps in the right direction, her ex Simon still continues to play havoc on her life.

This is a very depressing book. What a sad girl. She is chased by her demons. Both inside of her and from the outside world

Psychological thriller. Biographical portrayal of the life of a recovering alcoholic. A story of human passions. In the eye of the reader it can be many things to many people. All action and moves quickly. Carefully crafted it has a well developed plot and believable characters. Well worth reading.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.
Again Thank you for giving me an opportunity to review this book. I throughly enjoyed the book. I am going to be going back to this book for years to come. Can’t wait to recommend to my bookstagram pals. Thank you again for the chance to read and review this book.

The one thing that bothered me the most about this book is the title: "Who Did You Tell?" It should be "WHOM Did You Tell?", and I had to read the bad grammar every time I turned the page, causing me to shudder each time!
This book seemed to have two main themes. First, Astrid was carrying secrets that the reader wasn't supposed to learn for awhile. Second, she always sensed that she was being followed. Maybe she was! She's an alcoholic whose mother has agreed to let her move home on the condition that she attend AA meetings. Besides a male friend and his father, her only associates are the fellow AA members. I guessed the ending early on but still enjoyed everything that led up to it.

This book was a rather slow read. As such, it was not a page turner. As I read the book there was nothing that I was looking forward to discovering. In addition, I found the abrupt ending too fairy tale like.

This book hooked me from the very start! Astrid is a going woman battling alcoholism and her demons. That’s hard enough but then someone starts tormenting her and wreaking havoc on her mind and life. Excellent story that will definitely keep you entertained!

I totally enjoyed this book! I was hooked from the very beginning to the crazy twisty ending. A great tale of life love and everything in between. A great lesson in just who we should trust, and just how much. Hard to put down. Highly recommend!
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

While this book has a good premise, I didn't really feel like it was complex enough- especially with the abundance of thrillers out there. I just really needed more going on, more tension, more drama, more character development. Overall, it's a fine, straightforward book, but a little too blah for me.

Almost every family has an addict in its corner. "Who Did You Tell" has an alcoholic as the main character.
Astrid, a recovering addict, reluctantly moves back in with her mother. There's no other place to go. She has some demons in her past, which continue to plague her in this beach town. Her mother constantly watches her to make sure she stays rehabilitated.
A great portion of this book tells about the life and desires of an alcoholic. Once an alcoholic, an alcoholic for life. Drinks are described in a sensual way -- oh, so very sensual! The bad aspects of drinking too much is also described vividly. And the AA meetings with bad-tasting coffee!
There wasn't much of a mystery or suspense in the book; yes, some stalking. The real focus was on what wine does.
Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for the priviledge of reading this book.

I received this book "Who Did You Tell?" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. I was unable to get into this book. I could not wait to finish it. I didn't connect with the characters at all. Slow, slow, slow. I don't know why I finished this book.

I really like this novel, which at its core is about alcoholism and the devastation it can create in any number of lives. The book centers on an alcoholic just out of rehab who is struggling to stay sober, but who is haunted by ghosts of her past and things she did while drinking.

At first I wished the book would move a bit faster on the suspense angle, but later on (about halfway through) I realized the earlier part of the book was necessary to show us Astrid’s progress in beating the disease. This makes the last half of the book all the more devastating and suspenseful. I really liked the ending of the book - though you might see it coming, the reveal was done so well, and there’s one final very rewarding twist.

If you have any personal experience with alcoholics in your life, so much of this book will ring true. Stick with it through the slow build in the beginning - it’s worth it.

Thanks to NetGalley, Lesley Kara and Ballantine for ARC of this deeper-than-usual suspense novel.

Astrid is a recovering alcoholic, who has had more than one setback, and is now staying with her mom while she attends AA meetings and tries to get her life back together. Only her past and her deceased ex Simon, also a former alcoholic, still haunt her.

Astrid is not a very like-able character to me. She loathes a little too much on herself and is somewhat repetitive, but it was still interesting to read about her most of the time. We’re taken into her story through 3 ways: her past mistakes, her current AA relationships and her new blooming relationship with a man she has just met. There are also creepy background chapters thrown in from someone who is out to get her for her past, and I LOVE creepy background chapters from a stalkers POV! No one that she has met in her new town is reliable or trustworthy and the twists in this one were good!

Thanks to NetGalley, Lesley Kara and Ballantine Books for this ARC!

The true value of the book was in describing the life of an alcoholic – not just her own demons and her own struggles, but the way her poor choices affect everyone who loves her. This aspect of the story was very real and very painful.

This darkness coupled with the early sexual frivolity with a new acquaintance made me close the book. I was not able to read beyond the first 25%.

I appreciate this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, Ballantine Books, in exchange for an honest review. I’m sorry I couldn’t finish.

The twists and turns will keep you hooked until the very end of this psychological thriller about a recovering alcoholic and the secrets that haunt her.

This was an ok read, I especially enjoyed the recovering alcoholic perspective. The thriller/mystery part was fairly obvious though. Nice final twist though.

I received an Arc from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

Astrid, a recovering alcoholic, has moved home to live with her mom while she tries to get her life together. She hasn’t had a drink in 6 months but somebody is doing there best to sabotage that. While Astrid is trying to move on from the past somebody is intent on making sure she doesn’t forget.

I liked this book although I wouldn’t consider it a “thriller”. It gives a little insight into the struggles an addict faces once sober. I thought the storyline was great as well as the writing.
