Someone Else’s Life

⭐⭐ – This cover was the best part of the book!

I recently read Someone Else's Life by Lyn Liao Butler and, unfortunately, I have to give it a 2-star review. The book tells the story of Annie Lin, who moves to Kauai with her husband and son after suffering some traumatic events in their past. However, instead of finding peace and quiet, things start to unravel for Annie when, during a storm, a mysterious woman appears at her house looking for shelter.

While I did enjoy the cover art and loved the setting of the book, I found the writing to be quite repetitive, which made it difficult for me to stay engaged in the story. Additionally, I had a hard time believing some of Annie's choices, given what she had gone through prior to moving.

The twist at the end did shock me, but it wasn't enough to save the book for me. Overall, Someone Else's Life was just an okay read that fell short in some areas.
