The Girl Before You by Nicola Rayner
3.0

3.5 stars
I wanted to like this book much but unfortunately, i just couldn't.
Something was missing in my opinion, not sure what but i just felt like the story wasn't the fast-paced thriller that i was expected and the story overall felt a bit odd to say at least.
I liked the idea of multiple pov because we can always find more and i think it adds to the characters to see what they think and how they see the events. Unfortunately, I couldn't relate to any character. It felt a bit forced everything. I understand that sometimes a pregnant woman can get obsessed with something and some may blame it on the hormones but the mysterious disappearance of her husband's ex and what we get to find about their past it felt a bit unnecessary. Maybe i just got the wrong idea of what i wanted from the book and what i got, but that it's all upon me.
