Finally the movie adaptation of this delicious thriller has a releasing date from Netflix! Check out your calendars for May 14th ! Yayyyy! So curious to see Amy Adams�� performance!🥳

Oh boy! This was a real nail biter, hair splitter, stomach churner, mind number, soul disturber product should be consumed with lots of popcorn and quarantine cocktails!

Funny thing is I wanted to check the film adaptation status because since December 2019 I was waiting to watch Amy Adams�� Anna Fox performance excitedly but they postponed the realizing date and now I wonder if I will watch it till 2021! (At least the producers insist not to share on VODs!)

And another funny thing after watching trailer, I found out, I forgot some important details about the book so I decided to have a fast re-reading time to remember what I liked about it so much!
At my first reading I gave five stars and now I dropped it to 4 because becoming long time thriller reader make you cocky and tough grader and of course when you read so many amazing thriller stories (I weekly consume at least 5 of them!) you’d better learn to be picky!

The story’s claustrophobic building, being trapped in a house because of suffering from agoraphobia and you’re a child psychologist at the same time is unique plot. The fast pacing, high tensioned progression and Anna Fox’s character development is also brilliant. You want to know more about Anna’s story: Why she cannot leave the house? Why her husband and her own child live in another house? What kind of traumatic experience turned her into an alcoholic!

And wait a second! Rear Window vibes added into story’s tensed equation. Anna always watching the neighbors every day because she cannot leave her place: Not like physical problem like Jimmie Stewart had, she is fighting with her own inner not so little demanding evils. She saw something very dangerous, lethal! She calls the authorities to inform them but did she really witness to a murder? Did she create all of it in her head? We don’t know that because we have unreliable narrator. Don’t get me wrong! I love her from the beginning! I root for her and I wanted to know what kind of events put her in so much pain.

This book hooks you op from the beginning and you start to flip the pages nonstop, resume your reading till the words get blurry and your eyes protest you to stop for having goodnight sleep but you cannot stop because even though you go to bed, the story stay at your head and haunt you in your sweet nightmares.

Overall: The final is predictable but it is still riveting, intriguing, entertaining reading. I wish we may see its movie adaption in this year. I’m lowering my stars to four at my second reading but I still enjoy this book so much. Bring it your snacks and drinks! Get your precious ass on your seat and get lost in this alternative highly gripping reality!
