"It's Not What You Think" by Clare Mackintosh is an excellent book. I couldn’t put it down. It's he kind of book where you tell yourself one more chapter and suddenly it’s well past midnight.
I went in expecting a fairly straightforward psychological thriller. Instead, I got something a bit sharper, a bit more self-aware. The story keeps nudging you into forming opinions. About what’s happening, about who to trust. And then quietly pulls the rug.
I loved Nadeeka and Lauren. They’re not perfect characters, which is exactly why they work. There were moments I didn’t agree with them, moments I questioned them, but I never disengaged.
What stayed with me is the sense of unease running under everything. It’s a clever reminder that perspective is slippery, and that we’re often far more certain than we should be.
I read it quickly, but it’s the kind of book that lingers a little afterwards, making you replay moments and wonder what you missed the first time.
Smart, addictive, and just a bit unsettling in the best way.
