Book Overview
*Featured on Best of Lists in Vogue, People, Entertainment Weekly, Real Simple, Southern Living, and more* In this "wicked slow burn" (Entertainment Weekly) of psychological suspense from the author of How Can I Help You, a woman becomes fixated on her neighbor--the actress. Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with a charmed career, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and stuck in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband's cat. As her fascination with her famous neighbor grows, the narrator's hold on reality begins to slip. Before long, she's collecting cast-off items from the actress's stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actress's husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunning--and irrevocable--unraveling. A riveting portrait of obsession, Looker is "a sugarcoated poison pill of psychological terror" (The Wall Street Journal) and an immersive and darkly entertaining read--"by the end you'll be gasping" (People).

Different but good

Reading this book was like driving down the road and seeing a car accident. I shouldn’t look. I don’t want to look. I can’t stop looking. That was like every turn of the page in this story. Every page, every chapter, the unnamed character hit a new rock bottom, then another, and another. The things this woman said and did made me cringe as a reader, but also drew me in deeper to the story. A quick read, I knocked this book out on a rainy afternoon. Very engaging writing style, I will be reading more books by Laura Sims in the future.
