Thanks Netgalley for my copy.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the claustrophobic feel. And the twists. I felt so sorry the the MCs and I was glad to turned out the way it did.

Looking forward to reading more by Harrow.

I’ve been enjoying my popcorn thrillers🍿 recently, and this one caught my eye because of the title.

“The Guilty Girl” was a great hook and promised an interesting story, and it didn’t disappoint.

This was a quick read that kept its pacing throughout the story, which was the strength of this story. I really enjoyed the way the author explored what it might be like to be so isolated from the world.

Chloe had an innocence about her, which I am guessing is because she was so sheltered from the outside world, but something in the way she spoke didn’t seem true to her age and she was a bit too willing to accept everything her father said.

Thank you to Netgalley, Inkubator Books and the Author for an advanced reader copy!
Opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a quick read with twists and turns that made it hard to put down. While predictable at times, I enjoyed the plot and trying to figure out what was going on.

The beginning is a bit slow and repetitive but power through, it’s worth the read!

This is a really great read that I can heartily recommend to anyone who enjoys reading psychological thrillers. The protagonist is likeable and believable, and the plot is twisty enough to keep you engaged without being fantastical. With thanks to the publisher for access to this ARC in return for an honest review!

In my opinion, the story was very well written. I got hooked from the start. Yes, it could be a bit boring for some especially at the start but strangely, Harrow drew me in right from the 1st chapter. The plot doesn't have a shocking twist but at the same time, I was curious to read on and find out why and who and how.

I think this book is worth picking up to read.

Absolutely loved this novel, it was well written and I really felt for Chloe.
A perfect setting for what was going on which set the scene and allowed the story to unravel to the surprising end.
There was only one way it could it end though and I was glad it happened the way it did.
Definitely worth a read.

Pretty good! Story kept me hooked. One of those books that was hard to put down. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

i think the plot was definitely predictable but and it felt flat here often times and it was slightly underwhelming. Was waiting on the twist and turns like in thriller books but there wasn’t anything shocking.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I devoured this in one sitting. Harrow had me engaged from the start. The first person narration worked well, and the story was well-paced and interesting right until the last page. I'd like to read more by this author.

Ooh wee.. This month its just book after book giving me all the feels. The Guilty Girl by Ruth Harrow was no different. This thriller had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I was extremely invested on what happen, who did what, and why. Harrow has a way of pulling you in and having you speculate theories from the very first sentence, I of course was thinking one thing and then for that thing to be revealed early on I knew that it had to be something else. Well that something else is a twist that I never even speculated. When twists like that just gut punch you it really makes for a quality book. There was only one aspect of the book that I did not enjoy and it was the intimate tone of the dad toward the daughter. There was nothing written implying such thing, just an underlying tone that had me feeling a ted bit uncomfortable. 8/10 I would recommend to all you psychological thriller lovers.

The guilty girl: Chloe’s life is anything but normal. Her father has kept her prisoner for 12 years in her own home, not allowed to have friends, go outside or go to school.
As she gets older, she starts questioning her dad’s obsessive behavior.
She broke one of her dad’s rules & went outside where she met their new teenage neighbor. He causes her to realize that her father is controlling her every moment & keeping her from having a normal life.
Will she risk it all to gain her freedom?
I really enjoyed this thriller! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this in return for an honest review.

The Guilty Girl is not for readers sensitive to gaslighting or being held captive.
Dad and his daughter live together in a cottage on the outskirts of town. Dad goes to work daily and leaves his teenage daughter home alone. She is under strict instruction not to talk to anyone, not to look strangers in the eyes, and stay hidden. She keeps busy cleaning the house, doing schoolwork provided by her Dad, and preparing dinner for them (which on a good night comes from cans).
They live like this for 12 years without incident. But then developers begin taking some trees down and all Chloe knows begins to fall around her too.
Chloe is like most sixteen-year olds seeking her independence, but as she does so, she questions if it is worth the risk. Her father in his anger tells her everything is her fault. She is the reason they have to hide, have to run.
Her struggle to defy her father and carry the guilt he puts on her had me flipping fast through the pages. Every time I thought she could escape him, something else came up. I became very invested in Chloe's story. Right up to the ending I hoped she'd get her happily-ever-after.
Grab a copy of this today if you're looking for a page-turner, a psychological thriller, or a book with some weight to read.

I received this book from NetGalley. In my opinion the book was just ok. I was hoping for more twists than it actually had. There was a few that I was like okay here we go to only be disappointed when the surprises didn’t just keep coming. For me personally it was a very forgettable book. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. #TheGuiltyGirl #NetGalley

This one was a fast paced and very excellent book. I was hooked from the start . Hard to put down .

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this in advance

Ruth Harrow had be hooked SO quick! I love a book that I just don't want to put down. I felt engaged and didn't feel like there was any dull moments or moments where I felt bored.

I was new to this author but I’m so happy that I had a chance to read this book. This book had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the twists and turns that have me wanting more. Great book!!

Chloe had been locked away in her father’s cottage for 12 years. She believes her father murdered her mother. After escaping to the outside for the first time, Chloe is met with new curiosities and an interest in her neighbor Matt. Her father discovers her escape and makes it harder for her to leave. More and more questions arise until Chloe finds different versions of the truth.

The Guilty Girl, by Ruth Harrow is a captivating thriller. I enjoyed it for the most part, though the repetitiveness in the beginning used to remind us how sheltered Chloe is was a bit much. That being said, I think Chloe could have been written a bit more innocent and sheltered. It felt like she already knew so much about the world.

The ending is a bit fast. I would have liked to see more. I can’t really say what I mean without giving spoilers haha.

Loved the plot twists. I think they are what really made the story for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

In summary, Ruth Harrow's electrifying and fast-paced thriller, with its stunning ending and addictive short chapters, kept me engrossed and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book to fans of Frieda McFadden. Hats off to Ruth Harrow for delivering such a great read!

I’ve read a lot of thrillers in my time and unfortunately i just didn’t glue with this one! i found it similar to other previous reads and guessed the ending however it was incredibly well written and did keep me guessing throughout

This was such a captivating thriller which had me hooked from start to finish. There was many twists and turns some I really wasn’t expecting.
