Everyone Is Watching by Heather Gudenkauf Review

 

When I started Everyone Is Watching, I was genuinely excited—I've read and enjoyed several of Heather Gudenkauf’s previous books, and I was hoping for another gripping read. The premise was intriguing, and it definitely had potential.

However, once I got into the story, I found myself struggling to keep up with the many characters and shifting points of view. The frequent changes in perspective made it hard to stay engaged, and I found it difficult to connect with any one character. Unfortunately, that confusion led to a loss of interest, and I ended up skimming through most of the book just to see how it ended.

While the writing was solid and the idea compelling, the execution just didn’t land for me this time. That said, I’m still a fan of Gudenkauf’s work and will continue to check out her future releases.

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing for my digital ARC via NetGalley. As always, my reviews are my own and unbiased opinions.

Synopsis:

The Best Friend. The Confidant. The Senator. The Boyfriend. The Executive.

Five contestants have been chosen to compete for ten million dollars on the game show One Lucky Winner. The catch? None of them knows what (or who) to expect, and it will be live streamed all over the world. Completely secluded in an estate in Northern California, with strict instructions not to leave the property and zero contact with the outside world, the competitors start to feel a little too isolated.

When long-kept secrets begin to rise to the surface, the contestants realize this is no longer just a reality show—someone is out for blood. And the game can’t end until the world knows who the contestants really are…

Happy Reading!
