I think I'll bump it up a bit next year. :-)<br /><br />I liked Behind Closed Doors enough, but I didn't like it as much as many others seem to. I read it quickly, though, and I really wanted to know how everything played out. I really liked the ending, but, like you, I think I overanalyzed some of the less believable aspects. I think that made it less enjoyable for me overall.<br /><br />I liked In a Dark, Dark Wood quite a bit, and The Couple Next Door has been on my list for a while. Everything We Keep sounds intriguing ... I'm adding it!

That being said, Behind Closed Doors and a Dark Dark Wood are already on my TBR. Life Changing Magic is also on my TBR - can't wait to read that one.

I read the entire thing and it definitely didn't really ever get better or more interesting- such a bummer! I still haven't read One True Loves, but I'm intrigued by Everything We Keep now!
