I See You: The addictive Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Although," I went on, "last summer, one night I tripped over this massive tree root on the beach and it ripped up my thigh, which was crazy, because I didn't think a tree root could be so, you know, dangerous. I probably should've got stitches but I was with my friends and we just … anyway, it's okay now. You can hardly even see the scar." Kelly takes an interest in the classified ads after Zoe alerts her to a possible connection to the case she's been working on. Finding a connection between the classified ads and other crimes could help her redeem herself. Four years ago, she was demoted from the Sexual Offenses Team to the Neighborhood Policing Team. I loved Kelly's passion for her profession and her protectiveness of her twin sister. She has a victim-focused approach to police work, but she also has issues getting too close to her cases. I was rooting for her! I wish Zoe and Kelly interacted more, because I would have liked to spend more time with her. and a minor point, but zoe's boss getting angry about her terrified reaction when he reaches across her sleeping body to undo her seat belt when he is driving her home, knowing what she's been going through, is completely baffling. even if she wasn't already in a state of fear over the threats she'd been experiencing, it's completely bananas that a man she's not even particularly close to would think it was okay to do that. and to then get offended at her outrage and confusion. that's a pretty intimate gesture, and a hell of a thing to wake up to. a grown-ass woman can unhook her own seat belt, and it was an invasive and unnecessary gesture. was it meant to be a time-saver? bizarre. this is the kind of thing that bothers me as a reader - the only reason it's in there is to cast suspicion on him, and it's an inauthentic situation in any real-world scenario. So, the nurse was dead wrong; I could feel things, all sorts of things, and none of them were pleasant.

Throughout the year a child notices a homeless person in their neighborhood, notices them being ignored or actively scorned. On a snowy day, the child decides they're tired of just noticing and decides to do something as well so they give the homeless person their snuggly blanket.

The protagonist, Zoe Walker, is a forty-something divorcee who works as a bookkeeper in central London. She hates her job, but it pays the bills, and she has two teenagers to bring up. For Zoe, life is monotonous. She takes the same route to work every day and faces the same overcrowded platforms every morning for her commute, thinking that no one notices her in the crowd. Zoe is wrong; someone is always watching her. I'm not a fan of dual-POVs where the characters aren't narrated in the same POV—Zoe's chapters were in first person and Kelly's in third person. For me, I would have enjoyed the story more if both characters were in third person. Zoe's internal thinkings slowed the book down, making it a bit monotonous in a few areas where the tension could have been ramped up. Bezemer, J., & Jewitt, C. (2010).

Book Summary

I swallowed hard to keep myself from crying. If blinking annoyed her this much, imagine how apoplectic she'd be if I broke down in tears. It occurred to me that it probably wasn't the smartest idea to apply mascara that morning. Then again, I'd expected a few drops and some flashlights, not electrodes. I liked Kelly. She reminded me a bit of Havers in Elizabeth George's Linley and Havers series -- well meaning and smart, but often overly eager. Taylor, F. (2003). Content analysis and gender stereotypes in children’s books. Teaching Sociology, 31(3), 300–311. There's diversity of personalities in the characters. Kelly is an interesting police officer - with he own set of issues-on the London transport. It doesn't take many trips to the doctor to learn you can't believe them when they feed you that line. The electrodes didn't hurt exactly, but they were bulky and heavy and caused me to blink involuntarily. This was unfortunate—and a serious design flaw, I decided—because every time I blinked, the electrodes would pop out. Then the nurse would sigh in a castigating way and reinsert them, first covering the lenses with goop, whose purpose, I guessed, was to help transmit the electricity from my retinas. This goop made my eyes tear incessantly, which made me blink, which started the process all over again.
