Clarissa has a stalker and she spends the book trying hard to gather a book of evidence to help present her case to the police. At the same time as she is gathering her things, she is called as a juror on a case where a woman was brutally beaten and raped and her validity is called into question, a coincidence but a stunning one at that!
I am not a literary person, so I am going to try to explain something here - the author wrote parts of this book from the mouth of Clarissa, the victim writing to her stalker (you) and these parts were so powerful, but the narration would switch at times and it made it a little confusing and hard to read. Because of this, it took me awhile to read the book, but I loved the "you" parts so much and found them to be utterly unique that they made up for some of the confusion.
I liked this book for its uniqueness and the ending was more than satisfying. I just wish the middle had picked up a little more speed.

Clarissa is being stalked by a man named Rafe who also happens to be a co-worker. Being the smart woman she is, she starts a journal of every time he follows her, talks to her, calls her, leaves her gifts. She's waiting until she has enough to take it to the police.
It starts as a routine stalking (if there is such a thing) and the suspense builds page by page by page. You see and feel the escalation of Clarissa's fright and of Rafe's obsession. The ending is quite explosive.
I read this one in less than one day. Any book that can keep me that interested deserves 5 stars!
This is the author's debut novel ... I can hardly wait to see what's next from her.

This is a scary, terrifying novel about a psychopath stalker which I read non stop until finished with just short breaks when absolutely needed!
SPOILER
You can read the plot from all the reviews, so I won't go there. I'll just say, it's a pulse-raising, anxiety driven, frightening picture of a man stalking a woman until she is so terrified she turns into a killer.
I didn't like the ending, it was happy and sad at the same time.
