“Let me ask you. Are you worried that someone is watching you, or are you worried that you think someone is watching you?”

Sophie Portman has lost her husband, and she thinks she may be losing her mind.

She seeks the help of psychiatrist Andrew Thacker, but as she starts to open up, the truth begins to unravel and nothing is quite as it seems.

My Opinion

Other People’s Lives by J. E. Rowney** is a fast-paced psychological thriller that makes for an easy, entertaining read, especially if you’re not usually a thriller reader. The plot moves quickly and keeps you turning the pages, although I could predict the direction of the story once I reached the halfway point.

Where the book really stood out for me was its **characters**, particularly **Dr. Thacker**, who I found fascinating.

If you enjoy **unreliable narrators, psychological suspense, unexpected revelations, and _The Silent Patient_ vibes**, this could be a fun addition to your TBR. A solid thriller, though not quite unpredictable enough for me.
