BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  The first thing I thought when I picked this up was okay who is the girl before and how are Emma and Jane connected to her. This oddly enough starts with a flat, One Folgate Street seems to be the perfect place for those wanting a decent home, yet can't afford one. But how far are people willing to go to have the perfect and affordable place to live? What will you give up and how simplistic can you be? The house is designed to measure everything that the tenants have to do and how they live. This computer system, called Housekeeper had several beneficial aspects to the home owner...recognizing who was in the shower, and their water preferences, noticing the amount of REM sleep they got, checking their stress levels. This system is also in my opinion a way of a Punishment inflicted by the narcistic over obsessive landlord Edward who by the end of this whiplash rollercoaster of a book you will Love to hate yet still connect to by the time you get off the ride. Each Possible Tenant is put through a vigrious application process designed to enhance Edwards odd tendencies. First you meet Emma a broken shattered soul who moves into the flat with the supposed love of her life Simon. Their story is short lived and Emma is swept up in the persona of Edward just the way years later Jane will be. I refuse to go into this any further then I already have but I will say if you choose to spend money on a book in 2017 this is the book to do it on! Hands down a 5 Star read. The only thing I wish I knew was who the author is behind the pseudonym so I could read more books form them! I can’t wait to see this one unfold as a MOTION PICTURE!

This book had me absolutely reeling with excitement from the first chapter. I was all over the place guessing what was going to happen, if there was a bad guy, who it was if there was, what the characters were going to do next... absolutely everything had me completely involved in this book. I read the first couple of chapters before sleeping and realized I was going to have to empty my schedule for the next day to binge read it. I was kind of worried that everything would play out in an entirely obvious fashion, but this twisted and turned and kept me on my toes just when I thought I had figured everything out. I realised that I like thrillers a lot more than I think I do sometime while reading this; I'm always a little hesitant to pick up a book with the tag. I loved the psychological aspects of this though and how drastically different each character was from each other. Emma and Jane weren't the simple damsels in distress that I thought they were going to be, and the romances involved were complex and muddy just like real life. I hated people I wanted to love and loved people I ultimately detested. Smaller characters like a psychologist and a detective were probably my favourites because of how well drawn they were. Everyone had their own backstory and agenda and it was fabulous. Lots of minor details in this book are incredibly well thought out and add to the story by providing more interest without detracting from the main plot. The entire concept of minimalist living is really intriguing and I loved hearing about the architecture. Medical malpractice played a small element, and there was another element of law I learned about. I so recommend this one. It'll keep you on your toes, that's for sure, and it'll have a diverse group of characters to keep you thinking afterwards. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

HTML:THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER • Soon to be a BBC One and HBO Max limited four-part series, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw (The Morning Show; Misbehaviour) and multiple Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Emmy-nominated actor David Oyelowo (Selma; Les Misérables) “A pitch-perfect novel of psychological suspense” (Lee Child) that spins one woman’s seemingly good fortune, and another woman’s mysterious fate, through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive—and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. EMMA Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant—and it does. JANE After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space—and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before. Praise for The Girl Before “Dazzling, startling, and above all cunning—a pitch-perfect novel of psychological suspense.”—Lee Child “The Girl Before generates a fast pace. . . . [J. P.] Delaney intersperses ethics questions on stand-alone pages throughout the book. . . . The single most ingenious touch is that we’re not provided either woman’s answers.”—The New York Times “J. P. Delaney builds the suspense.”—Vanity Fair “Immediate guarantee: You will not be able to put this book down. . . . Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will realize that there’s not only more where that came from, but it’s also more thrilling.”—American Booksellers Association.
