About the book
Kate used to be good at recognising people. So good, she worked for the police, identifying criminals in crowds of thousands. But six months ago, a devastating car accident led to a brain injury. Now the woman who never forgot a face can barely recognise herself in the mirror.
At least she has Rob.
Young, rich, handsome and successful, Rob runs a tech company on the idyllic
Cornish coast. Kate met him just after her accident, and he nursed her back to
health. When she's with him, in his luxury modernist house, the nightmares of
the accident fade, and she feels safe and loved.
Until, one day, she
looks at Rob anew. And knows, with absolute certainty, that the man before her
has been replaced by an impostor.
Is Rob who he says he is? Or is it all in Kate's damaged mind?
My Review:
Thrilled to be able to review this new release from JS
Monroe. As a fan of his previous book, Forget My Name, I couldn’t wait to get
stuck in and see what this had it store. I was not disappointed in the
slightest, Monroe has completely given us another smash.
I was absolutely engaged from the off, imagining all sorts of possible twists and turns. I was so captivated by the story being told I was getting through the pages in no time at all, which to my own annoyance meant towards the end I had to slow myself right down to ensure I didn’t miss anything and I fully understood it all – I get far too excited for my own good when a book is this exciting!
I’m not going to lie the doppelganger theme is something that I’ve thought about (I’ve been told by so many people I have one they’ve been certain they saw me when I was no where near!) so it was actually quite scary at times. I was on the edge of my seat, certain that this could all quite easily take place. It was so exciting and really got me thinking, I was completely intrigued.
I don’t want to reveal too much about the storyline here as I think it’s best to get the full affect first hand. I enjoyed the narrative being told from the three viewpoints – Kate, Jake and Silas. It is full of red herrings that lead you to thinking one thing, whilst surprising you with something else.
The characters are great, my favourite is Silas and I’d love to see more of him in future books. JS Monroe is a master at creating a tension filled, rollercoaster of a thriller that will have you on edge throughout.
The Other You is an original, gripping thriller that I cannot recommend enough. JS Monroe is definitely going to be one of my go to authors and I look forward to what comes next.
