The Other People

On reflection and balance, this is another winner from Tudor with the same rich narrative and creepy undertone. I didn't enjoy it quite like I did her previous books and found myself drifting off at points. I didn't feel much of a connection with the characters until the latter part of the story, which is a shame. But the pace did pick up and I ultimately enjoyed how things came together.

2/5 stars

Overall this thriller was underwhelming. I was intrigued and hooked in the beginning but it was very slow paced in the middle. I wasn't really thrilled with the ending but I think it could have been a lot worse of a twist. At some parts I was also a bit confusing with the different storylines but they connected quite well. The “is it supernatural or not” aspect was really intriguing in the beginning. I listened to the audiobook and it was mediocre.

This thriller was a fine one but it is very forgettable in my opinion and I doubt I'll remember the twist in a couple of weeks from now.

likes:
- I loved the “is it supernatural/is it not” aspect
- was super engaging at first
- the Other People concept is really interesting & different

dislikes:
- although I really liked the supernatural aspect at first, I didn't love where this storyline went
- this hooked me from the beginning but as it went on it felt really slow to me
- I wish the Other People concept was explored more - I think it could have went darker & more in depth to it
- the ending felt a bit messy to me, like it wasn't really well thought out and some things I'm still confused by. somehow at the same time everything was wrapped up a little tooo neatly.

overall, this was just okay!
