I stumbled upon 'He Said/She Said' while browsing thrillers, and it hooked me instantly. The novel revolves around a solar eclipse festival where Laura witnesses a sexual assault and intervenes, altering her life forever. The story flips between past and present, showing how that single moment fractures relationships and trust. What’s fascinating is how the author, Erin Kelly, plays with unreliable narration—you’re never entirely sure who’s telling the truth. The tension builds so subtly that by the climax, I was gripping the pages like a lifeline.
Beyond the crime itself, the book digs into obsession, guilt, and how trauma reshapes identity. Laura and her boyfriend Kit become entangled in the victim’s life, and the consequences spiral in ways I didn’t expect. The atmospheric writing made me feel the weight of their paranoia, especially during the eclipse scenes. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that make you question every character’s motives, this one’s a gem. It left me staring at the ceiling for hours, replaying the twists.
