Wow! Natasha Boydell took us on a ride with this one! The Doll's House is a suspenseful page-turner, packed with several jaw-dropping moments. It's twisted and intense, and I loved every minute of it!

Our main character, Naomi, decides to put her home up for sale as she and her family are outgrowing it. After her initial buyer drops out, Naomi is uncertain of what to do and whether her family will be able to move into the house of their dreams. Along comes Summer. Summer is beautiful, Summer is perfect, but most importantly, Summer is ready to buy Naomi's home. Naomi accepts Summer's offer, packs her family up, and moves into their new home. Everything seems great, until it is not. Things start getting a little weird with Summer, and Naomi gets the feeling that something is up. But what is it?

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It was impossible for me to put down! Summer is delulu and I loved it! The revelation/ twist at the end- huge shocker! There were points where I found myself questioning the title choice (The Doll's House) but it all came together perfectly by the end. Boydell did a great job with this one! 4 stars!

Thank you NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and Natasha Boydell for this captivating read!

I enjoyed this one it was intense full of super brilliant twists unable to put it down.
I liked Naomi and felt connected to her story from the start
Gripping fantastic story line brilliant characters

Naomi is devastated when the sale of the apartment falls through, her dreams of moving to an amazing ‘forever home’ nearby with her family are momentarily dashed. But then a sweet-natured single mother named Summer appears, announcing her intention to buy Naomi’s old apartment. And all of a sudden, it looks like Naomi might get her new house after all.

At first, it feels like Summer’s saved her life. But as soon as the sale goes through, Summer starts turning up at Naomi’s new house. She’s enrolled her child in Naomi’s daughter’s class. She’s dressing like Naomi. She’s suddenly best friends with all her friends… And then Naomi discovers she’s got a pretty little doll’s house. One that looks just like Naomi’s new home.

This is one of the best psychological thrillers of the year for me. I don't like the stalker trope generally, but it was done really well here. I highly recommend this one! 5⭐

I received an advanced complimentary digital copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood books for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Naomi has everything she wished from her life that is until Summer bought her apartment. And then things start getting weird, Summer dresses like Naomi, changes hair colour to match Naomi. Then suspicious things happen which makes Naomi doubt Summer but she can't ever prove it.

Pro:
The book is very well written and you can feel the dread that Naomi feels.

Con:
The book could have been shorter.

I wish I would not have read this immediately after The Ends of Things. The Ends of Things had an obsessive character that drove me insane, and this book ALSO had an obsessive character. I feel like this component made me dislike this book because I was tired of reading about obsession. I will say, about 75% into the book it did start to get good and I really enjoyed the twists! The main character had a reason to be suspicious for sure!

The more I read, the more I was starting to question my own sanity.

This 5/5 stars easily. Everything I want in a thriller. So many twists, right to the end. I wish I could go back and read The Dolls House for the first time again.

This was the first book of Natasha Boydell's that I've read, and I can't wait to read her other work.

A nice easy read that kept me interested and had a few unexpected plot twists. I really enjoyed this book because it’s a thriller that’s not so outlandish that it couldn’t actually happen. I did get a bit irritated at how clueless the main character was at strategically proving her suspicions.

Yes, yes, yes!
The Doll's House by Natasha Boydell is a brilliant psychological thriller that will mess with your mind and make you question everything. This story creates so many emotions that you want to explode! And this is what I like! I like emotions, I like to be confused with what the hell is happening, I like it when my heart pounds and I can't see how this story will wrap up.
This book was unique in the fact that I became annoyed with most of the characters, literally, nearly every single one deserved to be hated. That's mad!

Naomi and Oliver sold their flat to finally have a house and more space. They are staying in the same village so same friends, schools, and daily life. Problems start when Summer, the new owner of the flat tries to become Naomi!

There is a lot in this story and you will question everyone!

Thank you, NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this copy!

I just finished this one, what a twisty thriller! Although i think there are sections of the story that are way too drawn out (the book could easily be 75 pages shorter), once it got some momentum it had my full attention! Naomi was a good lead character, although she did seem a little paranoid/jumping to conclusions from the jump. Not sure if the ending was a little too abrupt in the main story, but the epilogue! Good stuff! This was a solid 4 star read, and I would normally read something like this with an audiobook. Good read!

It is a slow paced psychological thriller. Storyline is predictable with unreliable characters and selfish people. Naomi is confused about the true intentions of Summer, who is trying to take Naomi's place among her friends and family. It's just that there are other domestic thrillers where one unhinged woman tried to take place of other woman. There's not something new or exciting. There are some twists and revelations, and the ending is okay. Overall, it was an easy-to-read book. Recommended to domestic thriller fans. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Naomi is devasted when her plans to sell her apartment falls thru and she is not able to buy her forever home. but then summer appears and buys the apartment, but summer seems to be taking over Naomi's life. good thriller

The reviews on the promotion are pretty misleading and I soon realised that this was not my genre of choice. It ones under a chic lit drama type heading and was a rather predictable read. Characters you wouldn’t want to mix with in real life in fact hopefully they wouldn’t even exist in the real world. Sorry not one for me.

Loved this. Typical single white female type scenario but done in a fresh, interesting way with
plot twist after plot twist then another plot twist! Let’s say Summer is definitely not who she claims she is. Natasha Boydell did a great job with this one. It’s my first time reading a story written by her and won’t l be the last.

The Doll's House was overall predictable and underwhelming. None of the characters were likeable or interesting, the plot was evident from the very beginning, it took too long for the title to make sense, and I was generally unimpressed. Some parts were rushed while others were too slow. I don't believe I would pick up anything by Natasha Boydell in the future.

Do people like this exist? People who hang around at the school gates and gossip? I've been teaching for 30 years and parent just as long and I've never seen this. It's in all of the books, though. I think if I did see it I would put my eyes straight ahead and pretend I didn't. Since I don't want to join these people I had trouble relating to their issues. I had trouble caring about their issues. I had trouble liking or caring for them. Even the kids weren't nice. The ending closes all of the doors, sometimes more than once, and brought everything back to where it should be.

This was a twisty physiological thriller that keeps the reader engaged from page one. When Naomi sells her flat to Summer, she looking forward to having a new friend, but all is not as it seems. When things starts going wrong, Naomi knows Summer has lies to tell, but can she unearth them.

This was an intense read, a quick and easy read though that I read in one sitting. The main characters are intriguing and great for this storyline, the book is well written with plenty of suspense moments. A thrilling 5 star read.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

A riveting psychological thriller with single-white-female/Motherland vibes. A page-turner that’s definitely worth a read!

The book was full on suspense thriller. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop at any point. The twists were unexpected and I quite enjoyed it despite normally not enjoying such books. I must say the less you know going in, the better. It’s truly a unique and creepy story. The only downside for me, and the 4 stars was the slowness of it all. It builds up for quite a while before the big reveals that makes everything just fit.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of this book. The Doll's House is a must-read for fans of psychological dramas with a touch of gothic intrigue. I look forward to reading more from Natasha Boydell in the future!

Remember the movie “Single White Female”? Well that’s the vibes this book was giving. A really tense read I read in one sitting and stayed up till 4am to finish.

Naomi and Oliver sell their first flat to move to the house of their dreams with their two young daughters. Summer, the buyer of the flat has soon infiltrated the friendship group and begins dressing like Naomi. She is a mysterious character and Naomi is sure she has some kind of vendetta against her.

Suspenseful and tense with a surprising ending, this is a great thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Many thanks to author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for my honest review

This is my kind of book! I got lost in this story and couldn't put the book down!!!

Though I didn't feel any real connection to Naomi I felt sorry for her as Summer began isolating her and taking her friends and causing trouble for her. Summer is the perfect villian in this story and the author did an excellent job of writing her.

This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last. I love her writing style and the way she kept my interest in the story. I liked that this was a fast paced story that kept me reading for hours without stopping.

I definitely recommend this book to people who enjoy thrillers. This was a great book and one I would read again.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion which I have given.
