Jess Kitching and 2 other people liked Josh Hortinela's review of The Secrets of Strangers: "This book is exactly what you want from a thriller..... it keeps you hooked with this unnerving sense of unease with all the secrets, lies and tension, where you don't know what to believe. It's like the best kind of puzzle. For fans of Gone Girl or " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Jess Kitching (?)

“So, Layla became a lawyer. And not just any lawyer, but a corporate lawyer living in the capital. Sure, Layla once pictured herself defending the rights of refugees or victims of crime, not helping millionaires hoard their wealth, but still, she had made her childhood dream come true.”
― Jess Kitching, The Life Experiment

“Layla had learned to accept it for what it was – her choice to leave had put her on the edge of Cannon family life. Now, she watched from afar. The photos of days out posted in the group chat, the events she heard about long after they happened, the in-jokes she wasn’t part of. Even when she was in the same room as them, she felt separate.”
― Jess Kitching, The Life Experiment
