Review: The Other You by J. S. Monroe


Image result for the other you

Kate was a super-recognizer for the police, identifying dangerous criminals with perfect reliability. But after a car accident that caused a serious head injury, Kate is unable to recognize people anymore... not like she used to. She finds solace in Rob, who has nursed her back to health and makes her feel safe. But one day, she looks at Rob and she just knows, with absolute certainty, that it's not him. Has her ability to recognize people come back? And who is this person living in her house?

This was just okay. The blurb sounded really good and I was excited to read it, but the 'big twist' is revealed in the first chapter, and the rest of the story was just quite slow. It's a particularly long book too, and so much of it was unnecessary. The story-line with the detective's son, for example - no relevance whatsoever, and ultimately unresolved. The ending was better, much more exciting, but it doesn't save the rest of the story.
