I wasn't expecting this book to be as good as it ended up being. This is definitely more of a cerebral thriller. There are no thrilling chase scenes or nail-biting moments, but the story still pulled me in, and the deeper I got into it, the harder it was to put down. Korelitz does a great job of exploring how one person's world can be completely turned upside down when the truth suddenly rears its ugly head. I felt so frustrated for Grace because she was so clueless at times, but I imagine when everyone thinks you ought to know the truth already than that's how it goes. Watching her find her two feet again after discovering that the life she had lead for nearly 20 years was a lie, was refreshing. All-in-all, "You Should Have Known" is a solid 4 stars for me. My only complaint was that the book was a bit wordy at times, and I do prefer books with either shorter chapters or more breaks throughout a chapter. Although this read was one that I didn't want to put down the farther I got into, so I didn't mind not having those breaks as
