I just love Lisa Jewell! No book ever disappoints and is always a struggle to put down. Although this book is not my absolute favourite I still highly rate it and really enjoyed it. I thought “Watching You” was such a good title as there is so much of it going on. I particularly really enjoyed Freddie’s character, and Jenna’s mother was another really interesting one. I did get some of the main plot reasonably early on, but it still had me on the edge of my seat desperate to find out more and if I’d got it right. Although brilliantly there were still a few other revelations in there I hadn’t expected. I only have good things to say about this book! I would recommend a read
I enjoyed this book, and the mystery had me going till the very end. A lot of twists and turns, I like how we get to know each character.
