5 Stars from me!
I absolutely loved Can’t Let Go.
I’ve seen quite a few negative reviews for it and would have to say I think it’s a book best enjoyed by reading quickly over as few sittings as possible as that way you get fully engaged with the story.
I found Beth’s character utterly compelling and believable and I really enjoyed the quirks and traits of her personality. Her relationships within the book were great, maybe the situation with Danny was a little far fetched but I loved the budding friendship with Zoe.
I thought the sense of paranoia and the ever tightening fear were brilliantly executed – for me, this was psychological suspense at it’s best!
I saw some of the twists and turns coming but not others and I loved the way the book kept me guessing right the way through as it revealed little snippets about Lizzie/Beth and also about the other characters, with each new bit of information making you trust or distrust them more.
Don’t believe the negative reviews, if you like a well written book that will mess with your head then give it a go!
