What do you do when your friend disappears? Even (especially) if you haven't known her that long. Well, you try to find her, obviously!

The thing is, you may discover - when you begin going down that rabbit hole - rather more than you expect. For example, that it was not a coincidence that brought her into your life. Or even that the fact that you apparently share name is no coincidence either! All of which leaves you wondering what, if anything, you really know about your namesake...

This is a tale with plenty of twists and turns, delivered with in a fast-paced piece of storytelling. It gets 3.5 stars.

The Other Miss Jones by Sophie Flynn is a quick and twisty thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Sally Jones is not the type of person to let things go easily. When she befriends a woman online with the same name as her, Sally is excited to have a friend that she can trust and who will be there for her even from across the computer screen. But when the other Sally disappears, Sally Jones is worried that her friend is in danger. What started out as simple correspondence with a woman who had the same name turns into a tangled web of secrets and lies. Who is the other Sally Jones? Was anything she said actually true?

The Other Miss Jones is divided up into five parts. The first half somewhat felt like it dragged a bit but then it quickly picks up as more as revealed. Our main character Sally was somewhat frustrating, I was yelling at her to just look at what was glaringly obvious! Overall I liked this novel, it was a quick and easy read that I could get lost into for a day. I would definitely be interested in checking out more by Sophie Flynn!

Thank you to NetGalley, Sophie Flynn, and Hera Books for this ARC! Publication date is April 24th 2025.

Loved the premise of this book because, I too, have been in a situation where someone with the same name was getting my emails. From there, the book really takes off and moves along quickly. Told from multiple perspectives, this is an engaging story that is fast paced and impossible to put down. Tons of twists and turns! 5 stars!

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

This story is about Sally Jones, who is virtual friends with another Sally Jones. When the other Sally Jones goes missing, our Sally becomes consumed with finding out what happened to her. Turns out everything Sally thought that she knew about the other Sally was a complete lie.

This was a quick and easy read. It is a bit slow to start but picks up pretty quickly. There are some good twists and turns, I guessed some but I was surprised by others. It was fun to connect the dots to figure out what was happening. Overall, I enjoyed this one

Thank you Hera Books and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very intense read that had me hooked right away and wondering where it was going to go next.

This book dragged me in from the very start and didn't release me from its clutches until I finished a couple of hours later. Full of tension and twists that kept me guessing. I really enjoyed it

I picked up this book because the premise was very promising. The story about two women with the same name sounded twisty and interesting.

This book was ok, the beginning sort of dragged on and some of the twists were pretty predictable, but after you get through the first half the book read really fast. I liked the characters enough, but they didn't stand out to me all that much.

I received this book as a digital ARC through NetGalley and Hera Books. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, but I didn’t want to reach the end of the story either. The plot was jam- packed with tension and OMG moments in fact there is nothing not to like and for me it’s the best book I have read so far this month!

I was gripped the story was well-plotted, twisty, unputdownable and twists and turns aplenty! This book is definitely for psychological thriller fans and you will not be disappointed! I was dying to know what would happen and how it would unfold for the ‘Other Miss Jones’

Wow what an ending I really wasn’t expecting it! This is the first book I’ve read from this author and now I’m a firm fan! Everyone needs to purchase this book when it comes out as it’s a must read! This book deserves more than 5 stars I would give it 10 as I really loved it! 😊

Okay so I figured out the first twist less than 10% of the way into the book. Or maybe it was the first two twists? Either way, it made for a slow start. I tried to decide whether the author intended the reader to know these things so early, but I am not really sure. Finally things started moving along and more twists were revealed and then we got to the end and the rest of the twists were revealed, but even at that point they still felt somewhat predictable. Through it all, I really struggled with the idea that this was taking place two weeks prior to Sally's wedding day. This would be a good read for the beach or a vacation where you need to be able to put it down and pick back up and remember what was happening, but I wouldn't pick it up expecting big shocking twists and surprises.

A novel for readers who want a slightly different crime thriller. The story was unbelievable and the first person present tense was jarring rather than intimate.

3.5 ⭐️

The Other Miss Jones takes us on the journey of Sally Jones, a dispatcher, with a lot of life situations that she’s dealing with at the same time. Sally has a propensity for getting involved, or not letting go, of the problems of others.

She’s been emailing someone that shares her name for 5 years. Is the person that she’s befriended just someone that shares her name? Does the online Sally match up to the Sally she envisions?

When Sally starts looking for the online Sally, she begins realizing that she might have it all wrong. Instead of walking away, she gets more and more involved and only then, does she conclude that fantasy and reality are very different worlds. Even if you predict part of the story, you won’t likely guess all of the twists!

im not sure on this one. i think i wasnt in the mood to put everything aside so my cynical head was still in situ. its plot need to be a bit more believable to me. i didnt quite understand the decision the characters made. and i didnt quite get how they would ever believably ever keep happening.
but again maybe i came to this book at the wrong time. because i did keep reading and i did want to know what happened at the end. so its got to have been good in its own right. and i think it was a unique plot. i just wasnt buzzing for the next page like i like to be when im reading a thriller. ive also just been spoilt rotten with my previous thriller read so maybe this book suffered for that! sorry.

I liked the premise so dove right in.

At first I was asked to believe someone who works with the police was stupid enough to take on an investigation on their own, fair enough I thought. A little bit of artistic license. But then I was asked to believe that this person was also unaware of any danger and hardly capable of thinking for herself.

There isn’t a single “reveal” in this book is pointless, you will have worked it out and you’ll be surprised that this information is given to you as if it’s new.

This is not a book for those that like a bare minimum amount of sense and believability in their books BUT it may well satisfy those who like a very quirky novel for a quick read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for sending me this eARC, in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a little unrealistic for me. The idea that someone would instantly befriend another person just because they share a name? That felt like a stretch. And the characters kept making wild decisions with zero hesitation—who actually does that?

Would I recommend it? Maybe to someone who enjoys fast-paced thrillers and doesn’t mind suspending disbelief. But if you’re looking for a story with depth and realism, this might not be your cup of tea.

This is a quirky little read with twists and turns all along the way. Sally Jones starts up a friendship by email due to her mail being sent to another Sally Jones. The two Sallies stay in touch by email for five years before actually meeting in person. (Who does that?) Everything starts going South when they meet. This is an interesting situation because it is an unusual way to get to know someone. Lots of drama here! I recommend this to everyone who likes a suspenseful slow burn.
Thanks to Net Galley for allowing me to read this ARC.

This book was a good one it will be a great page turner once it’s released thank you for allowing me into these crazy characters world I enjoy this book

A Tangled Web..
The discovery of a doppelgänger in name only - so begins a somewhat strange friendship and bond which suddenly disintegrates with a disappearance. As shocking secrets and possible truths come to light, it may well be that nothing was real from the start. Slow burn suspense, where nothing is quite as it first appears, littered with twists and turns and a cast of credible and well drawn characters. A tangled web indeed.

A quick read, with fast-paced action all regarding two women with the same name.

Sally Jones is a kinda dumb girl next door. One day, she stumbles onto a small problem but soon digs herself deeper and deeper into something incredibly dangerous. Secrets! Betrayal! Lies!

I did enjoy the quick pace of this story, but did find that I could already guess what was going to happen. BUT, some of the twists were excellent.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Sally Jones receives emails that were accidentally sent to the wrong “Sally Jones.” When the other Sally Jones goes missing it unravels a mystery from the past.

This book is divided into 5 parts. At first I was very engaged with the story, but then it seemed obvious what was going to happen. By part three or four it got more interesting again. I did feel like much of the story was predictable, but it kept me interested enough to keep reading. It was a decent read if you’re looking for something quick and easy.

This was an interesting read and did keep me gripped. I am rating it 4 stars though as I figured out the main twist within the first few chapters so wasn't super engaged after that.
