As soon as I read the synopsis, my mind was immediately intrigued. In fact, as soon as I saw the cover I was totally drawn in. The Other You is essentially a domestic based psychological thriller at heart, but it's also so much more than that. The premise itself is original, utterly plausible and just downright creepy. It also brought up the subject of doppelgangers; something that's never really crossed my mind. But after reading this, I think I'll be dwelling on the possibility A LOT more frequently.

The only real downfall for me was the lack of connection and empathy I felt for Kate. There wasn't really anything about her to evoke any feelings of warmth or concern for her well-being. I did however respect her greatly, what with everything she'd been through, was going through as I turned the pages + her amazing recognition skills. I just didn't really like her all that much...
