I really enjoyed this book. Juliette stalks Nate, his family and friends relentlessly after he ends their brief relationship. There is no limit to what she will do to be with him which she believes is her right, and their destiny. It's a gripping read and just when you think she's got the message she ups her plan of action.
Definitely recommended.

Juliette wants nothing more than to be with the love of her life, Nate and will stop at nothing until she gets exactly what she wants.
her plan to inject herself into his life, a plan driven by obsession, Nate is a Pilot and now Juliette is an air hostess. He said he needed space,
she thinks that time is up and fate has brought them together and no one will stand in the way of that. Even more so Bella, Nate's sister whom Juliette has an unfortunate past with
that has lead to all the makings of her current plan.

It's a tale of Obsession, love and vengeance combined and how far one woman will go to get what she wants.

I really enjoyed this, it was page turning right from the get go and i found the main character very witty.
Throughout much of this story i found myself laughing, even though some of what she was doing was crazy, it was the writing it has a certain charm and witt that really did make
the character likeable. As for Nate, i have mixed feeling what i feel about him, what happened back when they were much younger was wrong in so manys, he shouldn't have ignored her and also he should
have made sure she wasn't underage but i do believe she should have told him about that night. His character wasn't likeable and as for Bella she was a complete bully and i just really disliked her.

As a debut this was great and i'd look forward to reading more from this author

This was yet another brilliantly realistic psychological thriller! Again, because this is a thriller there’s not too much I can say about the plot without ruining it, so sorry! It follows Juliette who is sure that she is the perfect girlfriend and will stop at literally nothing to show that she is the perfect girlfriend and win back her ex-boyfriend no matter what the cost. The things she does at first are slightly creepy but very realistic and could actually happen if you put enough thought into it and that’s what makes this so creepy! As Juliette escalates in the things she does to prove that she’s so perfect they escalate again in creepy, realistic ways and that’s what makes this so great!

Again, one of the best things about this was that the story was told from the psychotic side and not the victims side. This gave us so much more insight into her reasonings behind her actions and it’s so fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes. Juliette truly believes that she is in the right and is doing everything to prove that she’s the best girlfriend and the ex-boyfriend is just being temporarily blind to how great she is, and people are dragging him in the wrong direction and he’ll soon see how perfect she is. Using the Airline jobs as a pilot and air hostess really helped make this book come together and was a new and interesting setting for a book that worked so so well!

This another one of those books where you’re not really sure what to make of the main character; you feel sorry for Juliette at first, especially since the book starts with some of Juliette’s background and what happened to her brother. But to me she was obviously delusional and one of the things that got me the most, was that I was sort of rooting for Juliette to be back together with her ex, Nate despite all that she was doing and most of it, if she hadn’t taken it that one step too far, I could see a lot of people doing in normal everyday life which is crazy!

I figured out the twist literally a few pages before it was revealed and it was a well thought-out a rounded twist that made sense and wasn’t ridiculous which again, was great. It didn’t have a solid ending but in a way, it sort of made sense and I wasn’t mad at it!

Remember that old film Fatal Attraction where Glenn Close was the hook-up from hell? Well, this book has a heroine who is Glenn Close on a double-dose of steroids! Juliette is utterly determined to prove to her ex, Nate, that he should never have dumped her and how perfect they are together - but sneaking into his flat to leave him chocolate muffins and his favourite bottle of wine while he's away probably isn't the way to his heart... So Juliette takes a job as an airline hostess for the same company for whom Nate is a pilot - and unweaves one of the most demented plots ever to get her man...

Ok, there's lots about this that is silly (how can Nate never realise someone's repeatedly in his flat, rummaging through his wardrobe, taking pictures off his fridge etc.?) BUT Juliette's so insanely manic in her single-mindedness that I couldn't help but get drawn into her demented plots - and there's a development about halfway through that is just jaw-dropping in its craziness!

With my sensible, feminist hat on, I'd have to say that this plays to so many gender stereotypes that are just plain wrong - but, then, this is a book for which it's best to abandon sense and just go with it because Hamilton has pulled off a story which is addictive precisely because of its demented heroine. And its central show-off scenario of that trip to Vegas is just genius!

The perfect girlfriend kind of has a <I> gone girl </i> vibe.. Both women are psycho, you feel sorry for both the men.. and both endings made we want to rip my hair out!!!!

So Juliette.. Or Elizabeth.. Is determined that her an Nate are ment to be. He asked for space and she gave it. Except her definition of space was to change her name, stalk his every move and become a cabin crew member to get closer to him..

It was obvious from the first few pages that this girl was <b> BATSHIT CRAZY </b> and it was obvious there was gonna be all sorts of psycho stalker crazy shit going on!!

Really good book, definitely worth a read 💜

There’s crazy and there is Juliette crazy - that’s all I can say! I love a good psycho ex - they make for really good reading - and if we are being honest there is a little bit of Juliette in all of us.... or maybe not! It is well written and I was pretty gripped at the lengths Juliette will go to to win Nate back, and seek revenge on those who have done her wrong! I loved the creepiness of her popping over to feed his fish, or staying at someone’s flat and organising their towels, and she genuinely doesn’t think she is doing anything wrong! There were parts that I felt may have been a bit far fetched but on the whole it was a pretty good read! I can imagine the movie will be out in a few years, and sadly will take place in upstate New York, and United airlines rather than keeping true to the book. Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this.

This psychological thriller combines elements of Highsmith’s Talented Mr.Ripley and the film Fatal Attraction, with obsession, envy and vengeance as recurring motifs in a tale of unrequited passion.
Elizabeth (AKA Lily/ Aka Juliette) is the narrator - a manipulative fantasist, stalking her ex-boyfriend Nate in an effort to win him back. The detailed account of her meticulous schemes to insinuate herself into every aspect of his life (taking on a new persona is the least of it) draws us in to her delusional world, which is initially entertaining, but becomes increasingly disturbing and cringeworthy to imagine. A compelling sense of dread permeates the novel, whilst the fascinating insights into the work of a flight attendant are as authentic as only someone who has done this job could depict.

She is not.........The Perfect Girlfriend.....anything but...you have dated her once....you will regret it forever

Many of the books I read have characters in who stalk, even are obsessive stalkers.......Juliette is like no other I have read......100% obsessive, determined, hell bent on revenge, cold, hot, clever and manipulative.....she has you in her sights...shes getting you!!!!’

The story is narrated by Juliette and the author manages very quickly to conjure a picture of her that sticks and is built on page by page

The main players are all deliciously described and as Juliette jump out of the book at you as you join in this rampage of a story

Its an addictive read and one that doesn’t let up, nor does Juliette

The one big twist I didnt see coming at all.....and was very clever

A fantastic read that will shock and surprise and make you go ‘NOOOOOO, she cant be doing this’....but she is

You will be careful who you date and get involved with after this book and wonder ‘do I REALLY know this person’

The authors first book and I really look forward to reading more of her work
10/10 5 stars,

A darkly disturbing yet sad story of obsession, manipulation, revenge, love and hate.

What a rollercoaster of a book this is. It kept me hooked from the first page. I couldn’t put it down. Excellent book. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Karen Hamilton for the copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.
