The Publisher recommends this new thriller to fans of Lisa Jewell and Mary Kubica, and I coulnd't agree more. The Woman Outside My Door is fast-paced, creepy and mysterious, dealing with sanity and mental health., which are some of my favorite topics in this genre of literature. And it's done really well.

The novel follows Georgina, a young mom who's not really at her peak. Her husband might be cheating on her, definitely something fishy going on, and her son Cody has a new imaginary friend from the park - only that the friend seems more real than imaginary. Georgina is confused, and her husband accuses her of losing her mind based on a true precedent.

I loved so many things about this book: the quick pace, action, plot, a terrible husband. At the same time, I didn't love Georgina as much as I would have liked to, so I think that character development could have been better in the case of the main character. However, I still honestly recommend this book to any fans of psychological thrillers because it's definitely a haunting one with a highly intimate narrative.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

While the plot and description sounded very intriguing to me-I just was not impressed. I found it to be very cliche. There were no unique qualities that stood out to me. In all I was just disappointed and didn't really enjoy the reading experience unfortunately.

Georgina isn’t sure what to believe. Her seven year old son, Cody has told her all about his new friend, New Granny, whom he met in the park. Georgina’s mother has recently died, so maybe Cody is pretending he has an imaginary grandmother to take her place. Still, something about the whole thing makes Georgina uneasy, even if her husband believes she’s overreacting. What if Cody isn’t imagining his new friend? This book had me wrapping myself up in a blanket and chewing my nails while I read. Be prepared to seriously creeped out
