Mini Review:

Didn't enjoy this one at all unfortunately. It really fell short for me.


The tag line is incredibly intriguing

"You don't remember her-but she remembers you"

Her is supposed to be a psychological thriller but it's about as thrilling as a puddle really. It lacks any sort of suspense and I really didn't care about either of the women. I found Nina to be petty and pathetic rather than threatening. Same with Emma.

The events in the book are told separately by each woman. This had potential. The author should have delved deep into each psyche to find out what makes each woman tick. This didn't happen. Reading the same event twice turned out to be just boring and drawn out. I kept waiting for something significant to happen but it never did.


As for the ending. I found it to be poorly written and predictable.

All in all Her was just to tame for me.
