Just One Look: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
A young woman’s escalating obsession with a seemingly perfect man leads her down a dangerous path in this “delicious and marvelously controlled” (The New York Times Book Review) novel of suspense.
“Bitingly modern and totally addictive, Lindsay Cameron’s suspense debut is the freshest take on stalker fiction since You.”—Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SHE READS
Eyes aren’t the windows to the soul. Emails are.
Cassie Woodson is adrift. After suffering an epic tumble down the corporate ladder, Cassie finds the only way she can pay her bills is to take a thankless temp job reviewing correspondence for a large-scale fraud suit. The daily drudgery amplifies all that her life is lacking—love, friends, stability—and leaves her with too much time on her hands, which she spends fixating on the mistakes that brought her to this point.
While sorting through a relentless deluge of emails, something catches her eye: the tender (and totally private) exchanges between a partner at the firm, Forest Watts, and his enchanting wife, Annabelle. Cassie knows she shouldn’t read them. But it’s just one look. And once that door opens, she finds she can’t look away.
Every day, twenty floors below Forest’s corner office, Cassie dissects their emails from her dingy workstation. A few clicks of her mouse and she can see every adoring word they write to each other. By peeking into their apparently perfect life, Cassie finds renewed purpose and happiness, reveling in their penchant for vintage wines, morning juice presses, and lavish dinner parties thrown in their stately Westchester home. There are no secrets from her. Or so she thinks.
Her admiration quickly escalates into all-out mimicry, because she wants this life more than anything. Maybe if she plays make-believe long enough, it will become real for her. But when Cassie orchestrates a “chance” meeting with Forest in the real world and sees something that throws the state of his marriage into question, the fantasy she’s been carefully cultivating shatters. Suddenly, she doesn’t simply admire Annabelle—she wants to take her place. And she’s armed with the tools to make that happen.

May 31, 2021
Cassie Woodson, the narrator of this entertaining, seamless story about obsession, stalking, and revenge from Cameron (Biglaw), ended her promising law career and the relationship with her boyfriend in a workplace act of violence that went viral. Now, the friendless, mentally unstable Cassie ekes out a living as a temp reviewing correspondence for a Manhattan legal firm’s large-scale fraud suit. The claustrophobic, crowded office matches her mood, as she fixates on her mistakes. Then she reads a personal, loving email from Forest Watts, a partner at the firm, to his wife, Annabelle. The couple’s revealing emails, which suggest a perfect life and love, soon become Cassie’s lifeline and give her hope about solid relationships. Consumed with Forest, Cassie follows him and Annabelle on social media and in real life as her tenuous grip on sanity continues to slip. Cameron skillfully makes the unlikable Cassie sympathetic, even as her propensity for anger and violent fantasies grows. The twist-filled plot contains myriad surprises. Psychological thriller fans will be more than satisfied. Agent: Alexa Stark, Trident Media Group.

Starred review from June 1, 2021
""Just one look . . . I fell so hard . . . just one look, that's all it took."" Cassandra Woodson's fall from grace as a successful law-firm associate was spectacular, and it was captured on a colleague's phone and broadcast on social media. The only legal work available to her these days is absolute drudgery, temping as a correspondence reviewer for a large-scale fraud suit at a high-end firm. Somehow, in a seemingly endless dump of corporate emails, Cassie finds a personal message from one of the senior partners to his wife. She knows she should send it to the discard file, but it is so charming that she finds herself intrigued by the email's author, Forest Watts, eventually developing an all-consuming interest in him. Cassie decides she has found the perfect man and will go to any lengths to have him for her own, but her obsession leads her into some dangerous situations that, blinded by ambition, she never sees coming. Although this sounds like a grim read, it is actually a highly entertaining narrative that positively sparkles with wit and insight into the mind of a young woman with much promise, hobbled by self-doubt yet insanely pursuing an impossible dream. This is the author's suspense debut, and it succeeds wildly. Highly recommended for all collections.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
