Read Me

First of all, big thanks to NetGalley for the chance to review this ARC.

I love a good psychological thriller and Read Me seemed to fall into that category. Read Me follows a man who believes that he is doing studies in people but in reality he is a totally creepy stalker. Over the last 4 years since he has been unemployed, it seems he has stalked around 85 people at least. He gives bits and pieces of information about these people but presently focuses on one woman, Frances.


I had a lot of expectations for this book and some of them were fulfilled while some of them were completely unaddressed. It was totally creepy and made me feel like this could happen to anyone, it's so simple in this age of technology and gave me that uneasy feeling of omg has this happened to me? But otherwise, it was just mediocre. One scene in particular dropped an entire star in my review for this book. It was unnecessarily and unexpectedly descriptively gory. I felt like it was out of the blue and had nothing to do with the plot. It was disappointing and gross, honestly.

The ending fell flat for me, as well. It had SO MUCH potential to be totally creepy but ended up just being eh.
If you're in the market for a stalker novel, go ahead and pick it up. But if you're just out here looking for a gripping psychological thriller, I'd pass on this one.
