In this “wicked slow burn” (Entertainment Weekly) of psychological suspense from the author of How Can I Help You, a woman becomes fixated on her neighbor—the actress.

Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with a charmed career, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and stuck in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband’s cat.

As her fascination with her famous neighbor grows, the narrator’s hold on reality begins to slip. Before long, she’s collecting cast-off items from the actress’s stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actress’s husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunning—and irrevocable—unraveling.

A riveting portrait of obsession, Looker is “a sugarcoated poison pill of psychological terror” (The Wall Street Journal) and an immersive and darkly entertaining read—“by the end you’ll be gasping” (People).

This started out strong and basically went nowhere until a couple of uninteresting events at the end. Not sure what the point was. The premise was so promising. The writing was good but edged over into poetic sometimes - and not in a good way. I liked the narrator but she imbued the character with BITING. SARCASM. IN. ALMOST. EVERY. SENTENCE. which got old after awhile; I know the character is hostile and angry but it would have been good if the character had developed more or if we occasionally saw her vulnerability.. If you are looking for a thriller I would definitely not recommend.

So disappointing

With so many novels out there about stalkers or about women whose life unravels, this one was a waste of time. The main character was unlikable, which would have been OK, but she was also boring (as was the story). The secondary characters are mere shadows (none come to life). Was skeptical about a novel that could be read in only five hours (seemed like ten). Was right. Would only consider another novel by this author if it gets raving reviews.

Was this going somewhere?

Do not know what the purpose of this story was. It was a depressing, angry, sick book. I only read because it was a book club selection. If I could un-read it, I would.

I think this book had a ton of potential, especially with a troubled narrator; however, the story was flat and boring.

When I first started this book I struggled to get into the story. I decided to try again a few weeks later and found that I couldn't stop listening. The way the author writes this character's narrative is captivating and haunting. I found myself despising the main character, but also sympathizing for her as well as empathizing with the pain and torment she must feel. Some of her negative thoughts are just cognitive distortions about peoples' intentions, something I struggle with. But good Lord, what a warning to evaluate yourself and not spiral into madness!! I'd love to read a version from the others' POV, how life isn't perfect for the actress and then she starts noticing the strange neighbor creeping around her. How Bernardo felt manipulated into sleeping with her, the other students' and school boards thoughts, Nathan's side of their marriage, and Mrs H trying to help her.

Captivating and haunting - well written POV
