While this book didn’t carry the “the next Gone Girl” endorsement, I did see some reviews that compared it to other darker psychological books like those listed above. She’s had to leave the UK behind her, for reasons which rankle but also influenced how much I trust her version of events, while also making me wonder how mentally robust she is for the biggest role of her life.

The inspiration for this book is the work of Baudelaire, and to capture that essence of his writing for an audience that has less knowledge of him is incredible. Delaney showcases this power in his book, both through Baudelaire’s life and poetry, and through the story of the novel itself.The reader is never quite sure if what is happening in Claire’s life is real or simply played out in her head as a movie script as so much of the novel is written as a script narrative. The plot is excellent but this might be a book to avoid if you're averse to some graphic descriptions of horror.

I loved this plot so much, I could feel the energy from the pages and each sentence radiating away, just waiting to draw you in and be read. Indeed, the novel does double duty as a survival manual, packed full of good advice—for instance, try not to get wounded, for “injury turns you from a giver to a taker. How this book made me feel: I read the first book – The Girl Before ( review here) and was really impressed with this author’s writing and imagination, so it was a no-brainer when this book appeared on Net Galley.He tells me, with a hint of emphasis, how much money there is to be made doing what he does, drawing up contracts for those who are temperamentally unlikely to abide by them, requiring the services of people like him at both ends, the making of the contract and its eventual dissolution.

Having worked in psychological profiling before, I found the parts based upon behavioural analysis good fun. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Dedicated to the approach of deeply immersing herself into the roles she plays until they become part of her, Claire’s intent is not to act, but to really become. I read this in one sitting and I’m not even mad that, when I got out of bed to walk around, I had pins and needles and patterns etched into my skin from sitting in one place for too long.Is it just me who does this—who feels they’re constantly watching themselves in the movie of their own life? The performance aspect of her personality is a refreshingly innovative way to style an unreliable narrator! Her ability to transform into different characters was absolutely stunning, and I really loved that she shared how these transformations made her feel. Something I loved about this story was that it intertwined Claire's real life and her love of acting. Like a cat and mouse book where one often questions just who the good guy is and who is the bad guy.

Out of the corner of my eye I can sense him taking me in, running his eyes over Jess’s Donna Karan jacket, the expensive one she keeps for auditions, the soft dark cashmere that sets off my pale skin and dark hair.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). I don’t want to spoil anything about the plot, but I will say that the characters of Claire and Patrick are so perfectly crafted to mirror the feelings that Baudelaire’s evokes in readers.
