The Girl in 6E

I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book because it has very mixed opinions and reviews but in all honesty- I really loved it! I have been legit in a reading slump since my kids started school last year and this is the first book in a long time that I couldn't put down. I read this book in a record time for me and had already ordered the second book in the series, when I was only halfway done with the first one. It will definitely not be everyone's cup of tea but it's important to keep an open mind when going into this book.

To begin with, The Girl in 6E is about a woman named Deanna, who keeps herself locked inside her apartment because of her strong urge to kill. This urge developed in her childhood and in order to support herself she works as a cam girl, working remotely from home. When she suspects that one of her clients might commit a crime, she has to decide if she will risk everything in order to save an innocent. I thought this was one of the most unique premises I have ever seen in a book and even though it contains a lot of sexual talk and topics, I found it didn't take away from the main storyline and I didn't mind it one bit. I thought the plot moved at a pretty fast pace and the chapters were short and to the point and I couldn't get enough. I would say that the first half of this book is mainly character driven and the last half is plot driven but I really liked the main heroine so I didn't mind that first half one bit.

Further on, the characterization in this book was superb. We really got to see into Deanna's psyche and I was able to fully understand why she is the complicated individual that she is. I was afraid I wouldn't buy the psychological reason for why she keeps herself locked in her apartment and never comes out but I really found the reason believable and it made me feel sympathy for her that much more. I also loved the character development that Deanna undergoes through the whole book and the romance in this book I couldn't get enough of, even though romance isn't a favorite genre of mine by any means. I loved how many layers the main character had and I can't wait to dive back into her story really soon!

Finally, the writing style contributed greatly to the reason why this book was so hard for me to put down. Even with a really early wakeup time, I found I couldn't stop reading the book and even though it's on the bigger side, the pages flipped by. I love when the author is able to affect me so deeply with precise sentences to the point writing style. I am not obsessed with her as an author and she is definitely now an auto buy author for me.

In conclusion, I would recommend this book to thriller/suspense lovers that are open to cringy topics such as weird sexual premises and sexual cam girl stuff. It didn't bother me but it's definitely not for the faint of heart, so look up the trigger warnings before diving into this novel. It will not be everyone's cup of tea but I think that the right audience will really enjoy it and take away a lot of good things from it as well.
