Surprised Face with Open Mouth“S. J. Watson does such a great job with creating twists in his stories. I again enjoyed his characters and he managed to suck me in. Great read!”
“"Second Life" by S.J. Watson is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The story follows Julia, a woman who becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind her sister's murder. Watson's writing is taut and suspenseful, making it hard to put the book down. However, the plot takes some improbable twists, straining credibility. Despite this, the exploration of online identity and the dark secrets of the internet adds depth to the narrative. If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller with a thought-provoking theme, "Second Life" is worth a read, though it may leave you with some unanswered questions.”
