Thank you to NetGalley, Lisa Jewell, and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
It Could Have Been Her follows a woman whose pretty normal life is flipped upside down when a missing person’s case hits a little too close to home, forcing her to confront secrets from the past and question how well she really knows the people around her.
This is a psychological thriller filled with mystery, suspicion, and some pretty weird characters. For me, it just didn’t fully come together. The pacing was very slow, and there were a lot of characters which made it hard to keep track of who was who. Because of that, I struggled to connect with them or really care about what happened.
I needed more suspense. I wanted to feel the thrill and be pulled into the mystery, but it just never came. While it wasn’t a bad book, it doesn’t top “None of This Is True”, which is my favorite from her. If you enjoy slower, more character driven thrillers, you might like this one more than I did, but it didn’t pull me in the way I had hoped.
