This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

This book mad me cry, it made me angry, and it surprised me SEVERAL times. The characters were realistic, and its rare I can praise a man for writing from the perspective of a female character so well.

I cheered for Anna, I doubted Anna, and I was surprised by Anna. Overall, I enjoyed The Woman in the Window and connected with the characters just enough.

Unreliable narrator being gaslit for a large portion of the book. Several twists - I thought I had it figured out but things kept changing, it really picked up in pace for the last 100 pages or so. Things wrapped up nicely at the end. I don’t know that I would ever reread this, so I am not giving it five stars, but it was quite entertaining.

It was okay. There’s a lot happening and it happens fast. The twists are pretty good overall. Mostly, I just wanted more by the end. More character development, better explain actions, etc.
