My review

Don’t Trust Her by Adriane Leigh was a gripping read that held my attention throughout. 

The story’s alternating POV structure worked brilliantly, giving me insight into both perspectives. This back-and-forth storytelling style kept the tension high and allowed the characters to develop in interesting ways. Each chapter added new layers, making me question who to believe and what was really happening.

The characters were well-established, and I felt their emotions and motivations were clearly defined. The mother’s struggles, her vulnerability, and her desperate attempt to manage her family life felt realistic, while the nanny’s calculating and sinister presence added an unsettling edge.

I must admit that some parts of the plot initially felt stretched beyond belief. Certain details and situations had me questioning their plausibility. At first, I attributed this to cultural differences between UK and USA lifestyles, but once the plot twist was revealed, it all suddenly made much more sense. The twist was cleverly executed, tying together those seemingly exaggerated moments in a way that felt satisfying.

The finale was particularly intriguing, with a conclusion that almost had me flipping back through the pages to spot the clues I had missed. The story’s pacing and structure kept me engaged, and while some plot points pushed the limits of believability, the clever resolution made it worthwhile.

Overall, Don’t Trust Her is a well-written, suspenseful read with strong character development and a cleverly woven plot. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with alternating perspectives and twists that make you question everything, this is one to add to your list!
