Someone Else's Life by Lyn Liao Butler
3.0

Thanks to Thomas & Mercer for the copy of this book!

Someone Else’s Life is a twisty thriller with an unknown visitor who seems familiar, a tropical storm, and family drama. While this was fast-paced at the end, the conversation was a little dragged out in the beginning in the middle - it was pretty repetitive. I liked the journal entry element and how that was used toward the plot of the whole story, and I thought the ending was good in general. While this was twisty and I wasn’t sure what was going on at first, there were lots of red flags, and eventually what I felt like were some pretty major clues to figure out the plot twists. Overall, this was a quick read and the idea was really great, but the execution maybe needed a little more editing.
