The first thing you should know, dear reader, is that I am dead…
This is not a love story. But love stories often start like this. With a knock at the door, and a woman opening it to see the man of her dreams.
The man standing outside my house is not someone I would ever dream of. He is down on his luck, going door to door, just trying to make ends meet. But there’s something about him: the weight of the past he carries, his secretive smile, his story. No one else would have invited him in. But I did.
I just didn’t realise how hard it would be to make him leave…
From Amazon chart bestseller S.E. Lynes, The Proposal is a page-turning and utterly gripping thriller about the lengths we will go to for someone we love. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Woman in the Window and The Wife Between Us.

Customer Reviews
Compelling read
This author sure can write! A wordsmith.
A psychopathic fantasy with dark distorted conclusions.
A relatable conversational style directed at the reader, until we are obliged to part company to preserve our own boundaries.
I had the feeling that much had been edited or modified to be less traumatic. Insanity has no filter.
The Proposal
An interesting relationship is revealed as the plot develops.
The attention to detail is enough to make you question your own relationship. Surely we can identify with how Pippa is emotionally involved or has desires to be involved with the other characters.
A completely absorbing book.
This was my first read of this author and I look forward to the next novel.
The first thing you should know, dear reader, is that I am dead…
As the opening sentence of this intriguing thriller it is sure to pulled you in and will have you gripped until the final page!
The story is told through Pippa’s journal entries and blog posts. The story begins slowly, all the best psychological thrillers do! However you should pay attention!it makes up for that as it gathers pace and builds up to an excellently written conclusion.
Overall, if you like dark psychological thrillers then you will enjoy this dark and twisted story.
Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and the SE Lynes for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
