Book Review: The Woman in the Window

I like to read about one or two of these thrillers each year. I can’t read more than that because I get so stressed out and I can’t seem to put this genre down. 

I purchased The Woman in the Window from my school’s book fair. They have a table with adult novels and one of my teacher friends recommended it to me. To be honest, back then I didn’t know they were turning it into a movie. I actually found out while I was reading it and was surprised to find out its release had been moved back due to the pandemic. At least I got some extra time to read it.

The books contains the typical unreliable narrator, this time in the person of Dr. Anna Fox, who is agoraphobic and can’t bring herself out of the house. This, for one, was so interesting to me. I learned a few things about the condition. I definitely didn’t expect the first twist in the story, either.

The last reveal was a little more predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway. I saw the signs and I interpreted them correctly and was basically just waiting for the reveal to happen… and it did.

Overall, it was a great book and I enjoyed it a lot. I loved how it’s written in first person but sounding as if the main character were just talking to me as her friend. She sounded so relaxed, somehow. Very human.

I now can’t wait for the movie to be released! Now, to move onto something else before starting my next unreliable narrator thriller.

Cheers!
