Gripping read

Even her best friend isn't aware of her less than prefect life, but then you have to keep your friends close but your enemies even closer.

How to Begin

Let me preface my review by admitting that, after chapter nine, I skimmed through the book. I did want to see how it ended; hence the rating of 2 stars. The skimming was still painful. The villain was predictable, the relationship between the so-called best friends was not believable and there was entirely too much inner dialogue from the main character. The writing was choppy and there were too many plot twists. In addition, the ending was abrupt and not enough explanation was provided. A real disappointment.

Heather’s entire life is her job. As an interior designer, she’s trying her hardest to be the best she can be. Everything in her house has to be a particular way. Every aspect of her life is scripted. The drawback? In reality, her life is falling apart. What starts as a few things out of place turns into a downward spiral of sabotage and betrayal.


As a workaholic, I found myself relating to Heather on a personal level. She was crafted in a way that made her feel very real, and that was what drew me to keep listening to the story. I really wanted her to succeed, to prevail. The suspense was another aspect of the story that I thought was particularly well done. Every time I thought I had the story figured out, the author would throw in another wrench, and I’d be left just as clueless as before.

If you’re looking for a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I recommend this one. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author in the future.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Heather is famous in her field, and to all her followers on social media. But Heather only lets them see what she wants them to see. If they knew about the things that happen in her own home they would be shocked! When she is forced to work with the school bully that made things unbearable for her in school, this may be the turning point where there is no return. The writer will keep you reading well past your bedtime with this book!!! Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book from Booksprout.

I spent most of the book feeling confused. I couldn't tell if scenes were in the present or flashbacks. But most of my confusion stemmed from the blurb being slightly misleading. I didn't really feel the tension that a suspense novel usually envokes. If you like the domestic thrillers of B.A. Paris then I recommend trying this book. Read my full review at Girl Who Reads.

This was a very good read. This is a very well planned and written psychological thriller. It keeps you guessing right until the end.
It felt realistic and the characters in the novel felt like real people. The novel is wrapped up very cleverly and doesn't leave you hanging, which I love.
It only took me a couple of days to read it, admittedly because I was so engrossed I found that I had stayed up until 2am reading it on the first night - it was a real page-turner and I found it hard to put it down once I started.
I was very delighted that I chose to read this novel and would highly recommend it to readers who love a well written psychological thriller that gets you thinking.

Despite figuring out exactly who the ‘culprit’ was very early on in this book, I still enjoyed the story. As a successful interior designer, Heather has a huge following on Instagram and keeps her followers up to speed on a variety of decorating trends from creating light to setting the mood. Her marriage to James is struggling but she is so intent on keeping her successful career going that she often gets her priorities wrong. The other things she does wrong are a) lying about her past and b) befriending the wrong people. When someone starts stalking her on social media with unkind messages and things are rearranged in her home she suspects a competitor in interior design with whom she has had a run in back at school.
The book lost a star because I found myself disliking the main character but it did bring to the fore the effects of social media when one allows the effects of other peoples’ opinions to guide one. Not gripping, nor thrilling but sufficiently interesting to engage the reader. 4 stars.

Once I noticed that characters kept saying each other’s names in conversation over and over and over again, even when it was just two people talking, it was pretty much all I could focus on. Did anyone edit this? Doesn’t seem like it.

This is such a dumb story. The protagonist has so many weird things happening but does nothing about them at all. The person it turns out to be has the lamest reason ever for doing it. It’s just really amateurish and badly written, and I regret the time I wasted reading it.

Good But Errors

This was a great book but I almost stopped reading about a quarter of the way through. The author used the wrong name. The character’s name is ‘Heather’ but at one point she is referred to as ‘Harriet’. The next book advertised has a character named Harriet so I guess that’s why there was a mix up. I just can’t stand when books are not edited thoroughly though. Several grammatical errors and extra spaces as well. I don’t typically give books 5 stars but I would have given it to this book if it weren’t for the errors.

This rarely happens, but got to 45% and couldn't finish. The book was just dragging, and the characters are pretty annoying. Unfortunately, I realized I didn't care what happened to them.

You're All Mine is touted as a psychological thriller, but I would add the word domestic to that. So, a domestic psychological thriller. It definitely has some mess with your mind moments, but it is also very much a domestic thriller. The story relies heavily on the unreliable narrator, and with as many secrets as Heather has, she’s about as unreliable as it gets.
And that brings me to Heather. Now, I’m just gonna say it. Heather nearly drove me to distraction. This woman had all this crazy happening to her, yet she just keeps right on going, and she made some terrible decisions. She’s so caught up in perception, in what people see and think of her, that she reacts rather strangely. I’m sure that was intentional on the author’s part. If it wasn’t, she couldn’t have done it better if she tried. The above-mentioned unreliable narrator has been done a lot, so I’m probably a bit over-critical of it, but it works for this story and this character.
We do get a good selection of characters to be the villain, plus there’s Heather, herself, and every single one of them could’ve very easily been that villain. Now, here’s where I’ll tell you that I did have it figured out pretty early. That said, I still second guessed myself a few times, so Ruth Harrow did a solid job of dangling carrots that led in the wrong direction—something any good psychological thriller should do.
The narrator, Amanda Parrott, was new to me, and I’ll admit that I wasn’t quite sure about her style for this book, but she grew on me. She has a sweet-sounding voice that worked perfectly for a big part of the dialogue. I especially liked it when someone was being sarcastic or contrary because Parrott did it exactly as I’d expect from those characters.
The story does jump back and forth in the timeline, and sometimes those jumps can be a bit jarring, but I finally noticed little differences in past and present, and it all started to fall into place. I will say that the ending for this one wasn’t what I thought it would be, especially with knowing the identity of the villain. I expected part of the reason for it all, but the rest of it was not at all where I expected it to go. Oddly, that wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. I will say that when you find out who the villain is, you can look back at some of the conversations, and it clicks.
Unreliable narrator, predictable villain, timeline jumps—yes, this one has all of those, but what it comes down to whether I kept listening all the way through. I did, and I’m not sure if it was Heather’s bad decisions or the narration or the story itself. Or maybe it was a bit of everything. Whatever it was, I wanted to see if Heather would finally make some good choices. I wanted to see how it would all play out, so it’s certainly worth the listen. These characters are the kind that get under your skin, and even when you want to shake the daylights out of them, you still want to see where things go for them. I’d say this one would appeal to anyone who enjoys domestic thrillers.

"All by yourself, Heather? Stop pretending."
Heather has been nurturing a solo interior design career, heavily aided by posting frequent Instagram posts and online classes. She is on the verge of being catapulted into the big time with the job offer which will secure her future. But her husband, who also has to work away frequently, is unhappy at how little time they are able to spend together. When the story begins, Heather and James haven't seen each other for a month when she returns from an assignment in Milan by which time her husband has already left for his next project. Alone in the perfect house she has built around herself, which, in turn is fairly isolated, strange little things start to happen disturbing to Heather, both in the house and at work.

it is a clever concept but the trouble with this book is the unbelievable silliness of the character, keeping 'secrets' which no same adult would continue to be concerned to keep, the failure to contact her 'perfect husband' for weeks in her time of stress even though they used to talk every day and the generally vacant thought processes she has and are expressed in her first person narrative. Yes, you have it, I couldn't stand the main protagonist, nor her 'bestie', or anyone really, and certainly not enough to care about any of them. Sadly, it felt too contrived, unrealistic and, if culprit there was, logic determined it could only be one person from very early into the story.

Amanda Harriett narrates You're All Mine with skill and good timing, her rather girlie timbre being most appropriate for the voice of Heather as well as that of her equally annoying friend, Nicole. She manages to maintain interest to the predictably foolish end. Her skill does not run to male voicings, however, but fortunately these are infrequent.

This is an easy, if irritating, read which does have the element of mystery in the earlier parts. And it fills the time whilst the reader is occupied on another tedious task. but it is not a book that I would recommend to a friend. My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom..

Oh Heather… girl, you really thought you won the jackpot.

In You’re All Mine by Ruth Harrow, we meet Heather — a polished socialite, social media darling, and interior design queen — who is married to finance.

But you know what they say… if it looks too perfect, it probably is.

As Heather’s carefully curated life starts to unravel, secrets come crawling out of the designer woodwork. The kind of secrets that make you question everything — her marriage, her friendships, and even her own choices. The tension builds beautifully. I was absolutely glued to the pages, sitting on the edge of my seat, whispering “no way” more than once.

And that ending?
Oh. It ended.

The paranoia. The manipulation. The slow realization that maybe “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” doesn’t work when you can’t even tell who’s who? Chef’s kiss.

Now let’s talk about why this isn’t a full five stars.

The baby daddy drama? Completely unnecessary. It felt like an extra twist tossed in for spice when the dish was already seasoned perfectly. The core storyline was strong enough without it, and it slightly muddied an otherwise sharp narrative.

But overall? Gripping. Addictive. Messy in the best way.

Final Verdict:
If you love glamorous chaos, unraveling secrets, and watching a seemingly perfect life implode in dramatic fashion, this one is absolutely worth the ride. Just be prepared to side-eye every character — and maybe your own Instagram feed while you’re at it.

With everything going on in the world right now I have to admit my reading has somewhat slowed down and found it harder for books to really grab me. Well You’re All Mine thankfully gave my reading mojo a much needed boost and I read it in two sittings.

Heather is a woman who has it all. Her career is sky rocketing and she is very much sought after. She has a dream house as well as a dream husband. It doesn’t take long for the reader to realise that things are not quite as rosy and perfect as she portrays on social media.

This is one of those stories where Heather herself is a bit of an unreliable narrator at times. With so many strange and weird things happening, it’s hard not to only doubt every one but even Heather herself at times. I felt empathy for this woman who has put her career over everything and all that she has worked hard for is now under jeopardy. As to who is behind it all. I had fleetingly thought that it might be a certain person but then I had suspicions about them all!

You’re All Mine was a compulsive story that kept me hooked within its pages. It’s what I call an easy read, as I flew through this novel in no time as I was enjoying the suspense that much. I have read a couple of the authors other books and have to say this one has to be my favourite so far. Perfect for lovers of gripping psychological thrillers.

*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.*

Heather is a successful woman who seems to have everything. She suddenly starts noticing small unexplainable events that seem to indicate somebody is stalking her and wants her either dead or destroyed.

I found characters other than Heather were underdeveloped, which would not allow the reader to make any assumptions about who might want her dead. The story makes sense until we get to what feels like a rushed ending of the "some time later" type that is made happy with no explanation as to why or how they got there. We also never find out why other characters like her husband were behaving the way they did.

The story was quite intriguing and kept me hanging until the stalker is unveiled.

If you're plot driven and enjoy not knowing who the culprit is, this book may be for you.

This book took more twists and turns than anything I have read in a really long time. It was gripping from the word go, and it was almost impossible to stop listening to.
The central character, Heather, well to be fair I thought many things about her. From thinking she was a murderer, thinking she was going insane, thinking she was lying to everyone including herself, and as it turned out some of that was true! Although I won't say which bits! Her husband James, to be honest I thought he was a bit of a wet lettuce. And Nicole was a wonderful best friend to Heather, always there for her and not really being very demanding for support herself.

This book was like a giant curve ball that just kept going. And the narrator was absolutely spot on with delivery.

This domestic psychological thriller was engaging and the narrator made it a pleasant listen. I was intrigued by the prologue and had to know more!

I didn’t particularly become attached to any of the characters—especially Heather. I didn’t understand some of her actions and at times I questioned if she was an unreliable narrator. I was happy to see a thoughtful conclusion to Heather’s ordeal in You’re All Mine. While this story wasn’t exactly the “gripping page-turner” I expected, I did want to see who was behind it all and was surprised by the reveal!

I enjoyed Amanda Parrott as the narrator. Her interpretation of the different voices, I thought, were excellent.

This book just didn’t do it for me at all. The friendship between Heather and Nicole was just awful from the beginning which gave a huge clue to who was doing all the spiteful things to Heather. Couldn’t connect with any of the characters at all and I finished the book feeling quite deflated and disappointed. The reason for Nicole being so hateful was really immature and petty as well. I couldn’t understand why Heather literally did nothing at all about what was happening to her. The whole storyline just didn’t gel very well

Guessing game

Throughout this story I felt like I was at a ping pong match. Back and forth, back and forth. I could never decide. Was Heather going crazy. Was she doing everything to her self. Was someone out to get her. Maybe just a forgetful overwork mind. Maybe the drugs or stress that caused blanks in her life. Who or why kept things interesting throughout. Need a real psychological puzzle? Then this is a good recommendation.

It's 7:05 a.m. and I just finished this book . I think I got about two hours sleep last night, but couldn't stop reading for the rest of the night . Ms. Harrow has created a tension filled psychological thriller . Believable characters , well-drawn incidents, and great descriptions keep you turning the pages anxiously awaiting exclamations and conclusions . Highly recommended

I love a great psychological thriller and this one is perfect! The plot is intriguing and full of suspense, I kept re-evaluating my thoughts of where the author was going next with these wonderfully described characters. A real page-turner, I didn’t want to put the book down for anything, it gripped me from the beginning and never let me go till I had read the final word!

I really enjoyed this book. I found myself feeling sorry for Heather and all the bad things that were happening to her. I could completely understand that her actions were driven by her need to grow her career. I never felt she was ego-driven, but focused. I figured out who the evil one was almost immediately, but will admit I flipped once or twice when the author threw a curveball in. Excellent read!

Held my attention, but kind of went on and then had a super abrupt ending. Main character is an interior designer whose husband has just (temporarily) left her because she’s obsessed w her job. Her high school bully goes up against her for a big job opportunity and sabotages her, but it ends up being her best friend Nicole that is behind all of it.

Also odd that they didn’t do a good job explaining why she didn’t talk to her parents for 16 years. Nothing big happened she just moved out.

I received a free audio version of this book for review. All opinions are my own.
You're All Mine really takes time to get started. But stick with it. Ruth Harrow creates a taut thriller where the main character wrestles with the idea she may not be perfectly sane when a variety of bad events happen to her on all fronts. The twists and turns and even surprised me in the end.
The vocal performance was great. I really like the main character's voice; it suited her perfectly.

This author never disappoints.
Believable characters? Check!
Suspenseful build-up? Check!
Multiple protagonists? Check!
In the beginning, I didn't like Heather one iota. I felt her to be very selfish and domineering. It was her way, or no way. By the end, I kinda felt sorry for her. Heather really needed to get her priorities right, but she didn't deserve to have her sanity threatened and her career ruined.

Social media queen

Wow this book was really good, Heather is an interior designer and she posts everything on social media, from everything she's doing client wise, and pictures from what she is doing with her clients to what she is having for breakfast. Her life seems to be perfect. But everything is never as it seems is it? Happy reading everyone 😉

Great Read

This is the first novel I’ve read by this author & I’m so glad the blurb caught my eye. The ending will shock you...
I love the authors use of Instagram to help shape the story ... is an Instagram/ Twitter/ Facebook/ Snap Chat etc life really real or do we use to depict & define our perfect moments into perfect lives?
