At first I was afraid "Behind Her Eyes" was going to be a "Gone Girl" ripoff, it kind of seemed like it was going in that direction, but it surprised me, and the twist at the very end was really shocking. Louise is a divorced single mom who meets a very charming, handsome man in a bar one night. Nothing happens, because he's married. She goes into work the next day and guess who is her new boss? She's horrified, especially when she sees how beautiful his wife is. A few days later, Louise runs into Adele, David's wife, as she's dropping her son off at school and Adele invites her out for coffee. Despite her reservations, Louise takes her up on it and they end up becoming friends. Adele is very lonely, and Louise is beginning to suspect David is an abusive husband, he's very controlling and then one day Adele sports a black eye that she makes feeble excuses for. To further complicate matters, Louise and David start having an affair. Louise is horribly guilty for betraying her new friend, but she finds herself irresistibly drawn to David. The lies pile up until we're not sure who we can trust, and like I said, the ending was great. I enjoyed it.
