My Review
The Tenant is a psychological thriller that will make your head spin. Trust me, this one is a bit of a doozy. I felt like I was a victim of gaslighting while reading this. Seriously, it's a wild ride that will make you wonder if you're going crazy right along with Kate, the main character.
The story follows Kate, a woman who has decided to start her life over in a new location. She's determined to become a music teacher, so she enrolls in a college program and finds a room to rent with Amy, nice enough woman who had posted an ad. Amy has lost her mom and is trying to erase her memory by renting out the room to Kate. But things soon take a turn, and Kate starts questioning everything. Is her alcohol consumption and sleepwalking causing her to black out? Is she suffering from DID? Is Amy's mom haunting the house? Or is something more sinister going on?
I definitely wasn't sure what to expect going in to this book, but I have to say, it definitely made me start to question my own sanity.
I don't want to give too much away, but I will say this is definitely an intriguing rollercoaster ride.
I think the only thing that irked me was none of Kate's friends/colleagues tried to intervene or get her help. They offered advice and suggestions, but I felt like at some point, they should have done more if they thought she was becoming too reliant on alcohol and having blank spots in her memory. That was the only negative thing for me about the book.
If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, give The Tenant a go.
4 stars!
