Imagine if you can go and work at the house of the object of your obsession... even if you were told not too. Then something happens, and you are the police's prime suspect. This sets the tone of a very entertaining read that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Recommended.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* This was pretty good. took me awhile to get to it and i have been slaking on my reviews but this was well worth the read!

Catchy YA where smart young girl with hurtful past fights her being accused of murder of her music idol.
While the plot is not over complicated, I liked the human aspect and how Jessie´s difficult past helps her to have an unique point in seeing and reflecting the reality and, finally, the truth. As reader I both had fun and enjoyed some good psychological points - and these are always the plus points in my book.

This started of well but as I approached the halfway mark it was hard to stay engaged. The story was okay and while I ding have a problem with reading in likeable characters I wasn’t invested in what happened to them. I had to push myself to finish this.

Sorry I had this ages ago and have only just read it and wish I'd read it sooner. Great opening, well written, great characters and a real psychological thriller for once. Please more by R J Jacobs I'm ready and waiting!

What an opening descriptor on the back of the book!!
"Do the mistakes of the past mark us as guilty for life?"

A phenomenal psychological thriller (if that's what this would be? I never get the genres right)
It messes with your mind and gives you goosebumps - whichever classification that is, and if that draws you in - GET THIS BOOK!

Twisty, creepy, with a bit of heartfelt sympathy and you have a best seller right here!

Thank you to RJ Jacobs, the publisher and NetGalley for my complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review. Please excuse my tardiness in posting my review as my TBR continuously grows and I keep finding so many book with so little time!

So much gratitude for this copy shared with me, always xo

Thank you netgalley and publisher for opportunity to read and review this arc honestly.

This book kinda got stuck in my queue and I wish I had read it sooner. Fast paced and pulls you in from the beginning. I enjoyed the characters and felt interested in their life and well-being. Overall I was invested in the story and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

This psychological thriller starts with a shock and follows that up with an interesting premise and plot.

This book was a great psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of every page. It was a fast paced read from beginning to end. A little of the story was unbelievable but I don't think that took away from the story as a whole.

Jessie is written as a character you are going to root for from the start. Her backstory is so traumatic that you would feel terrible if anything else happened s to her. Like a murder charge. Enjoyable read, some good twists and overall a good novel with a great premise.

I was really intrigued by the premise of this book and I enjoyed it for the most part; however, I found some parts really hard to believe which led to my three star review.
Jessie is trying to start fresh after being released from prison for stalking and trying to harm a country music group. She is working as a caterer when her company gets the job of catering for the very couple Jessie had previously stalked. She knows she should not work the gig but a series of events leads her to the party. A serious crime is committed and Jessie becomes the prime suspect. Up until this point I was enjoying the book.
Jessie had a difficult childhood and experienced some horrors that have led to have some social challenges as an adult. These social challenges are described early on as severely limiting issues but yet Jessie is able to overcome them to evade capture by the police multiple times. I felt that the last quarter of the book was very hard to connect with because it seemed too implausible.
The book wrapped up neatly and there were no loose ends which I appreciate. Overall I enjoyed this book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The synopsis sounded really interesting but as I began reading I found it too slow and lacked interest. I wouldn’t recommend this one.

I really tried to get into this book. I even picked it up a second time. But I just could not connect with the main character at all and therefore couldn’t finish it.

Thank you to the publisher for my copy of this one - all opinions are my own.

Just when I think I've read so many thrillers I've guessed all the twists, RJ Jacobs comes along with a psychological thriller so unique, with a lead character so interesting that I have to eat my words.

I LOVED this book - I loved Jessie as a character, the complexity of her backstory and the struggles of her present. I loved that she was unique and messy and yet so empathetic and lovable, I spent the whole book rooting for her, and admiring her unwavering strength in spite of every single hurdle she has faced.

I loved the setting and the backdrop of the Nashville country music scene (one of my all time favorite cities). I loved that this book is set at a rocket pace, and I had no chance of stopping once I started it, I HAD TO see how it would turn out.

The twists are perfectly devious and paced out exceptionally well. I have to say I was NOT expecting where this one went.

100% the perfect kind of thriller ride that I love to dive into. A must for thriller lovers this year!

Entertaining and fast pace, this is a solid addition to the thriller genre. A recommended purchase for collections where similar titles are popular.

Jessie Duval is not your typical teenager. She suffered severe trauma (abuse and neglect) as a child. She tries to work through her trauma, builds a life and leads a relatively successful life doing so. That is, until her catering job takes on a celebrity party. There's one celebrity in particular that Jessie must avoid as part of her recovery and the next thing Jessie knew her life was crumbling down around her. Her favorite celebrity winds up dead and Jessie finds herself as the number one suspect.

If you're looking for a new psychological thriller this one is very unique in it's plot and R. J Jacobs does an amazing job keeping you on edge.

Hi, I lost the eARC of this book so I won't be able to review this book. I hope you understand. I really wanted to read it but unfortunately my phone got formatted and I lost the copy.

I liked this book but I couldnt say I loved it. It was enjoyable but I didnt feel that wow factor. It took a long time to get to the crunch of the story. I found it hard to connect to the characters which is very important to me.

Quite an enjoyable story where Jesse with a dark childhood slowly tried to better her life. Soon she found herself in the home of a celebrity Shelby whom she had followed/stalked long time ago.

The story took a leap when Shelby was found murdered and Jessie was forefront as the prime suspect. She had to find the real killer else she was going away for a long, long time.

The story was good in parts. There were few things that didn't go well with her characterization. I focused on the murder mystery aspect and got to the end.

An interesting afternoon with this book.

I enjoyed this book. The main character is sympathetic and you find yourself rooting for her. I would recommend this book to patrons.
