Summary

From the author of Tell Me Lies and Too Good to Be True comes Carola Lovering's Can't Look Away, a sexy suspense novel about the kind of addictive, obsessive love that keeps you coming back—no matter how hard you try to look away.

In 2013, 23-year old Molly Diamond is a barista, dreaming of becoming a writer. One night at a concert in East Williamsburg, she locks eyes with the lead singer, Jake Danner, and can’t look away. Molly and Jake fall quickly and deeply in love, especially after he writes a hit song about her that puts his band on the map.

Nearly a decade later, Molly has given up writing and is living in Flynn Cove, Connecticut with her young daughter and her husband Hunter—who is decidedly not Jake Danner. Their life looks picture-perfect, but Molly is lonely; she feels out of place with the other women in their wealthy suburb, and is struggling to conceive their second child. When Sabrina, a newcomer in town, walks into the yoga studio where Molly teaches and confesses her own fertility struggles, Molly believes she's finally found a friend.

But Sabrina has her own reasons for moving to Flynn Cove and befriending Molly. And as Sabrina’s secrets are slowly unspooled, her connection to Molly becomes clearer—as do secrets of Molly's own, which she’s worked hard to keep buried.

Meanwhile, a new version of Jake's hit song is on the radio, forcing Molly to confront her past and ask the ultimate questions: What happens when life turns out nothing like we thought it would, when we were young and dreaming big? Does growing up mean choosing with your head, rather than your heart? And do we ever truly get over our first love?

Caught between genres but a very enjoyable read

If you come to Can’t Look Away as a thriller lover I think you may come away a little bit disappointed. There is a thriller element but to buy into it you have to really buy into the love stories, so it is probably one more for fans of contemporary romance than thriller lovers as there is a lot of relationship drama in the flashbacks in particular. It is a weird mash up of Daisy Jones and the Six (a band with issues trying to make it and the long suffering girlfriend) and something like Gone Girl but set in 2010s and 2020s. The sense of place is well drawn contrasting Brooklyn with suburban Connecticut. Sabrina is wonderfully unhinged and kudos to the voice actress for conveying that. I think Molly was a good character who could have done with a bit more development and the same goes for Jake. I liked Hunter a lot as the book went on but he had no real personality until half way through the book - he was there from the start and I understand why there was a wait for him to be completely fleshed out but having him as basically a mannequin for half the book before becoming one of the more likeable characters was disappointing. I could see this becoming a great film or limited TV series. Actually the meshing of genres would really bring in more viewers. Books are different, so just be aware that if you love all thrills and aren’t into complex love triangles - it may not be completely up your street. I love romance, so this suited me. I think Carola Lovering deserves more recognition as this was better than Verity by Colleen Hoover which sits in that thriller/romance space. This is maybe less shocking but I much preferred the characters to those in Verity and this stood out because of the different directions Lovering took from the thriller.
