Review
Alice Feeney has done it again!She has quickly become my favourite thriller author. She knows how to capture the reader's attention and keep it. I always finish her books within two hours because they're just so fast paced and it just sucks you in, you have to read it in one sitting. His & Hers is quite creepy, but it could be because I read it at like 2am and I usually don't get creeped out by books. I really thought I figured out who the killer was, but she came in with her usual plot twists that you don't see coming. I absolutely love Feeney's writing style, it's very captivating and the way she ends off each chapter in a cliffhanger.
All the narrators in the book are unreliable, which makes the mystery even more juicy because you don't know who to believe. The killer's POV phrases things in a way that is very similar to both of the MCs, because of this, you constantly keep changing your opinion on who the killer is.
Overall, I highly recommend His & Hers however please keep the trigger warnings in mind!

I really thought I had it figured out with this one, but boy was I wrong! I was a little disappointed that the mom was the killer because I felt it didn't make sense and was random. Also, how did an elderly lady pull off all of that by herself? The math wasn't really mathing. I really didn't understand why she wanted to ruin Cat's life who literally did everything to rebuild her life after her SA and bullying. I think it was unfair because she suffered so much as a child and as a teenager, if anything, she was a bigger victim than Anna. Anna was just as much as a bully as Rachel, Helen and Zoe. She cared more about fitting in with the popular girls than standing up for someone who was being bullied by them. A bystander is also a bully. Anna didn't even help Cat when she was being SA'ed. That scene broke my heart and made me sick to my stomach. The mom saying that Cat stole Anna's job was crazy because Anna was only filling in for Cat while she was on maternity leave, Cat didn't quit or say she wasn't coming back. Anna was just entitled. It really annoyed me thatAnna had an affair with Cat's husband, because she just kept screwing Cat over. The real victim was Cat. The mom killing people because she felt that her daughter was a victim was weird, also this stuff happened like twenty years ago and everyone moved on. It felt like that mom was blaming everyone else for her shortcomings as a mother. I would've preferred if the killer was Robert, that would've made some sense.
