Envy is about this woman called Erica who gets obsessed with Faye, a beautiful woman/model who crosses in front of her apartment everyday in her way to take her children to school. Erica will start stalking her and wanting to become Faye at all costs.

This book is narrated from four different perspectives and Faye is the only one who narrates what happens to her, the rest of them talk about Faye using "you" so for example they would say something like "You look so good today, who are you going to see?". I really liked that fact because it felt really eerie to read but sometimes it got confusing because you couldn't tell whose POV where we on (but that may be because I received an e-arc, hopefully that will be fixed in the finished copies).

I think I mentioned it in one of my reading updates but this book really got inside my head, it was scary how everyone was obsessed with Faye, everyone watching what she was doing, acting as if nothing was happening when in reality those people were so different from what they decided to show in front of other people. I even started thinking "What if I'm being watched and followed all the time without noticing like Faye?", it was a really bad thought to have late at night lol.

There was a little romance thrown inside this book which I didn't enjoy, especially how it ended.

It felt so random how Mause asked Erica to marry him out of the blue, I guess I'm not the one to criticise because of the mental issues they both had but it still felt weird.

. I also think is important to mention that this book makes references about suicide and rape as well as mental issues without getting too specific or graphic.

Moreover, after the 60% mark everything started to feel rushed and I didn't particularly like the ending in general. I don't want to spoiled it but I was hoping for something darker.

Oh and I really didn't like how for the ending to be happy Faye had to be with her doctor, that relationship was wrong and she could have taken a break from relationships for a while.
