An unusual story of a couple who become involved following an assault on a woman. Following the court case she becomes involved in their lives until they have to escape her. 15 years later events come to a head with an unexpected ending. An enjoyable read but i found the ending unbelievable which spoiled the rest of the book for me.

Don't start this book late at night or you will be up all night reading it. This is a very thought provoking novel. What would you do? How far would you go? The book starts in the present and alternates from the present to the past. From the points of view of Laura and Kit. Laura and Kit are eclipse chasers, who travel all over the globe to witness eclipses. Life is good until they witness something horrific in Cornwall. Beth being raped by Jamie. Laura insists on calling the police, as she is the only eye witness to the attack she is called upon as a witness. While being interrogated on the stand. Laura makes the mistake of saying she heard Beth say no. Which she didn't and wasn't mentioned on her witness statement. Jamie is finally convicted, you would think that would be the end of it, and life could go back to normal.Its never as simple as that though is it?
Beth and Laura strike up a friendship,something Kit isn't happy about. Beth is a little intense but apart from that, things are going well. Until they get talking about Cornwall and something Beth says makes Laura question whether she told the truth. When she questions her Beth storms out the flat.This is where things turn tense, first its broken glass through the letter box then its arson. Kit and Laura are scared for their lives. The stress of it all makes Laura ill.
They get married and change names, move to a different area. All the while living in fear of Beth turning up. She does manage to track them down at an eclipse, luckily they manage to get away.
Twists and turns abound in this book. Right up to the last page. Highly recommended for fans of psychological thrillers.

This was a good book, good story but in my opinion it was too long and drawn out. There were moments of dark mystery, the evil within but it took so long to get going that I was losing interest. I really enjoyed the ending

A really good read. They story is written from Kit and Laura's prespective of accounts leading up to meeting Beth, a victim of rape. It is based around their love of attending eclipse festivals. It draws you into their life always keeping you wondering if Beth really is this destructive, lying girl who has ingrained herself into their perfect life or whether she is telling the truth.
The story unfolds as Kit goes off to watch an eclipse leaving a pregnant Laura at home. Laura is left scared for Kit and what could happen if Beth also attends the eclipse.
This book gripped me from the beginning and left me shocked when it ended not how I expected it to. I would highly recommend this book. It was hrad to put down.

I found he said/she said to be quite slow going to begin with, I wasn't sure I was actually going to like it, however I carried on, and while I still found the pacing wasn't as fluid as other books I've read, the content was enough to keep me drawn in.
There were some interesting turns along the way, and I enjoyed waiting for the next snippet of information

This was as twisty as it gets, first book I've read by this author but they certainly know how to spin a good tale,it was full of misdirection and the writing was very clever .I didn't know what was going to happen and that is what I like.I can't give anything away, I don't want to spoil it for other readers, but this book is well worth a read.Thanks to the publishers and netgalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

One of the best psychological fiction books of this year. Twisty and gripping, had me hooked from page one and didn't let go!

Thank you for and ARC of this book. He said/ she said is a psychological thriller about a couple Laura and Kit who are eclipse chasers. Firstly set in 1999 at Lizard festival in Cornwall. When the eclipse they come to see is cloud covered. on the way back to their tent. they witness a man raping a woman. When Laura tries to talk to her the woman beth is in shock and doesnt speak. The man is arrested an Laura and kit are witnesses at the trial. For the next 15 years they live in fear of their lives as the man go released early.

I thought this book was well written, the description of the rape was sensitively done. But I found that there was no likeable characters in this story. I struggled with this. It didnt grab me. Sorry not my type of book.

Gripping with lots of twists and turns and a final sentence that will leave you shocked!

This book held my interest from the start. The idea of perception of a situation being down to an individuals interpretation is one which interests me and is the premise for the book. It is a case of her word/thoughts and against his. Who to believe, who is right. The book explores this and the relationship between all those effected and the knock on effect of a single action. The book did not end in the way I imagined and liked the fact it twisted and turned along the way. Would read another book by the author.

I really enjoyed this, although I didn't feel like Laura and Kit had distinctive enough voices. I liked the story, and the way that everyone had secrets to keep. I'd definitely read something else by the author.

From the very start I was gripped. I wanted to turn the pages more quickly to find out more! The complexity of the relationship between Laura, Kit and Beth was so involving. I would highly recommend this book.

Rather topical subject matter.....girl witnesses rape. Or did she?
The way this was split, with the device of the eclipse was effective.
I couldn't decide whether I actually liked the main characters, Laura and Kit, but I did find them convincing. Some of the peripheral characters were interesting, but slightly one-dimensional.
Gripping stuff, and cleverly plotted.

This book starts with a palpable air of menace.
Who is Beth that they are both so afraid of? What did she do to them that they changed their names and have hidden from the digital world? Why is ... so anxious? What caused it?
A different style of writing that causes psychological shivers down your spine.

Very gripping plot, with lots of twists and turns. Would definitely recommend.

okay i'm going to be honest in my review of HE SAID/ SHE SAID this is the story of Laura and her boyfriend kit told in the past and present in both there narratives about how they have had to go in to hiding and change there name due to something that happened in the past and because of a women that they meet over 15 years ago called Beth, one of the things i like about this book is that the back ground of this story is set around eclipse i found that a refreshing touch... going back on to the bast Laura and Kit and newly in love and Kit being a huge lover and follower of The eclipse they set out to go along with KIT's twin brother Mac and Mac's girlfriend and also Laura's best friend Ling to go and watch an eclipse,

what was meant to be a fun trip and a way of making some fast cash to pay for the trip selling tea on there stall turns out to be a nightmare and the repercussions that will and have carried on into there future, while Laura is at the festival she witnesses a women who we find out is called Beth being Raped or well what she the thinks is Rape as Beth is to shocked to even talk at this point and the man Called Jamie saying it was just a being of fun and asking Beth to confirm that, it leads to a shocking trial... the story continues to go back to the past taking you trough the court case and a friendship develops between Laura and Beth That Kit doesn't like this new friendship as its not really a way to make a friend through a situation like this but is that really why he doesn't want them to be friends or is there more to it? it did take me sometime to warm to Laura and Kit, but i did enjoy the book its filled with lots of twist and turns that i did not see coming i felt apart of the story, each have there secrets each have told lies but who do you trust? who's side are you on? who do you believe? HE SAID/ SHE SAID is a truly addictive and unputdownable book that will have you guessing till the very end and an ending that you won't see coming!!

He Said She Said is a very clever name for this book as there's several ways it could be interpreted. It is told from his and hers POV but there are other undercurrent meanings that I can't mention in fear of spoilers. I loved how the title of each part of the book was connected to the total eclipse stages and little Suns at the start of every chapter. I think the whole theme of the total eclipse that runs through the story, added a certain charm and set this book apart from so many others in the genre. It was well written, with plenty of twists but I'll remember it for the total eclipse theme..
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC.

A gripping story stemming from an attack upon a young woman at a festival during a lunar eclipse. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book very much and I couldn't put it down reading it in one sitting. It was unusual and I didn't guess the outcome. Not all stories have happy endings and the past usually comes back to haunt you! Recommended to thriller fans.
