A struggling student, Francesca is trying slowly to reach her dream of being a writer and independent woman, one ghostwriting at a time. After the death of her parents, she desperately tried to put her past aside, and start anew. For a while, the illusion of safety persisted. Until everything changed, after being offered a generous contract by a bizarre client with a secret identity. He communicates with her via a distorted voice on an app, but there is something else that is worrying her more and more: his ideas do match her own life stories and secrets. Again, who is this person? And is Francesca in any danger that this time she may not escape.
The Student by H.M.Lynn is a gripping fast paced and page turner of a psychological thriller. The tension builds up step by step, one shocking revelation at a time, completely confusing the reader about the possible outcome. Would she survive? Does she have any power to avoid the unavoidable?
As a character, Francesca is human, oh so human, nevertheless very relatable as a character and human being. Personally, I expected the end of the story to really make my own idea about herself and it was a good decision as helped me to give her a chance for reconsider her actions.
The Student is the book waiting for you for the first February weekend. Too catchy to forget too fast, an emotional roller coaster with a story that may keep you awake late at night. Recommended to lovers of psychological thrillers interested in stories with a main woman character.
Rating: 4 stars
