Off the Deep End: A Thriller

Product Information

Eh, it’s not keeping my attention, I had higher hopes going in to this because of the narrators, but it was kinda bland. I also wanted to add that the plot was well thought-through, and the ending was surprising for sure!

I will definitely be recommending to friends and family and if you’re into psychological thrillers, make sure to read this! After Jules leaves the facility, where she spends more than a month, Isaac goes missing and the police fear he’s the latest victim of a serial killer targeting teenage boys; Isaac’s mother thinks Jules is responsible, given her insistence in the accident’s aftermath on seeing and talking to Isaac and bonding with him over their shared near-death experience. That is normally something I enjoy, but halfway through this book, Jules’ character took a turn that was not authentic to the story. Ten months after Jules rescued Gabe's friend Isaac Greer from their car crash, he vanished without a trace. To these concrete five might be added a vaguer sixth, having to do with maintaining a chemical purity in the reaction between product and appraiser.

If you've read any of Lucinda Berry's previous work it's no secret that she refuses to skirt around the darker issues in life and just nose dives straight into them, and Off The Deep End was no different.

Considering how it ended, it should've focused on how bullying pushed Isaac to find comfort in an online world where he could be the bullier, and then drove him to commit awful violent crimes IRL. She shows her knowledge when she manages to get inside the head of people with mental health issues.
