My Review:

This story really catches anyone’s heart by its twists and turns. I myself experienced a thrill while reading this book. Both Emma and Jane gone through some rough days and wanted to start a new life at a new place. They never expected that their new lives become mysterious at One Folgate Street. The Author beautifully scripted the plot. The story was in the form of NOW and THEN, where the previous tenant Emma’s life shown as a repetition of the current tenant Jane’s life. He crafted Emma and Jane’s characters in such a way, sometimes we assume ourselves in their characters.

Ok!! I can’t wait to say the name Edward Monkford. He is a British architect and founder of Monkford Partnership. He is handsome- not breathtaking so, sexy and very simple like a normal person. But there is an other part, He’s mysterious and sometimes dangerous too. While reading about him, I was in a situation, whether he will become my new book boyfriend or not😛😉. But when I finished the story, I came to a decision that he probably be one my book boyfriends but not the obsessive one.

I enjoyed that’choose the option’ in between the story. This made me remember choices game. But this is a book unfortunately😂. The suspense in the story makes us thrill and never wants to turn the page and end the story. In order to experience the twist, wait till the end of the story.

Coming to Jane and Emma, Jane is very calm, thoughtful and give more importance to commitment and happy life. When I read about Emma, I came to a conclusion that, she’s a narcissist and a bit confusing personality. She’s completely different from Jane. But when I came to know about the mystery behind Emma’s death, I cried a bit and I pity her for her innocence and her chaotic behaviour.

I learned one thing from this story, never ever wait for or beg someone to be with you. If they wants you that badly they will never leave you behind even in your good/bad times. This book also taught me how to stay stubborn when a terrible situation enter our life. Ok, I will leave you all to taste the story directly from the book with your eyes. I don’t want to spoil the suspense & mystery of this book.😜

PS: Hey I forgot to mention, this is my first book from this author and I would like to give 5/5 stars❤😍
