Watch How You Go by bestselling author Tim Hill is a diagnosis of friendship and betrayal written in a very creative and unique style. It explores the intertwined stories of three couples, through their everyday interactions and secrets.
Three couples, spending time together and knowing each other well. Or pretending they do. There are dark and dirty secrets between them; temptations and betrayals. Human, oh so human. Nevertheless, Tim Hill creates a special web of interactions and relationships where the author feels like invited to spy and make his or her own opinion about it.
I particularly liked the right balance between the descriptions and author´s interventions and the dialogues, creating a diversity of perspectives and points of views.
The book belongs to a new category of novels exploring the sides of everyday relationships and the story hidden behind them. You don´t necessarily need to build up a crime-plot to sell your story. Relaying on simple, everyday life experiences can be equally a source of literary inspiration. Sometimes, even more exciting to read about than a crime-driven novel.
Personally, I was curious to see where everything leads to, with the same high alert and interest as when I am reading my beloved mysteries and thrillers. The writing was an intellectual delight and so were the intricacies of the story.
The ending is exceptionally unexpected but mostly because we expect easy, superficial ways to survive with guilt. Sometimes, a big step towards nothing is the only possible answer.
