Megan Collins writes “stalker” really well! I don’t want to give too much away but it’s about a woman, Rosie, who is a recipient of a heart transplant and starts falling hard for the donor’s husband. It’s a fast-paced psychological thriller about female obsession and murder.

Rosie is a bit unlikable in the beginning. Obsessed. Naive. Not in touch with reality. But her character develops really well throughout the book and I found myself rooting for her. 

And just when I think I suspect who the murderer there’s a twist!  I did not know which character to trust. Well developed conclusion!

There’s also some Taylor Swift references sprinkled in which I really appreciated. Sorry, 47 year old Swiftie here!
