If you were asked to put your name to a novel you didn’t write, would you?Meet Emma Fern, celebrated author of a literary best-seller, adored by legions of fans everywhere, shortlisted for the prestigious Poulton Prize. But it wasn’t always this way, a year earlier you would have met Emma Fern, unremarkable beige wife, running a small housewares store, thinking of starting a family.

Then Beatrice asks for a favor. She wants to write in a different genre, something more literary, but not under her own name. She needs someone to be ‘the author’ of her yet to be published novel. Would Emma be willing? It sounds like fun, and for a while it is, until Emma makes a shocking discovery. Then it’s not fun anymore. It’s deadly.If you love psychological thrillers, then you don’t want to miss this gripping read that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Loved this book and went on to read 3 mire of her books. The tone is lively and the characters are so relatable. The plot is like a cocktail, shaken not stirred and just twisted enough to surprise the reader!

The plot was very different and very interesting. The way the book was put together was also very interesting. The book started with a flashboard, and then settled back to start the story from the beginning. And all the way through I was thinking that the flash forward told me that she got out of the mess she was in but how? My only problem with the book was that it drug a few times.

Another great work. Is Emma a victim or the villain? I had a hard time deciding. Rooting for her, but at the same time despising her! Anxiety inducing trip, this one was!

This is a very different book. The storyline takes a young shop owner and shows her evolution to whom she becomes in the end. It's a very remarkable transformation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong novel by debut author
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
This debut novel was really well done. In fact, I found it difficult to believe that this WAS a debut novel...strong writing, fascinating plot, great pacing.

As I read it, at first I thought the premise was a bit far fetched, but I came to realize that I could surely picture some ardent fan being willing to go along with their idol's plot. Just because I wouldn't do it doesn't mean that it could not happen. And I'm not saying I wouldn't do it because I'm better than Emma...I wouldn't do it because there is no way I could begin to pull off what she did!

There is a thin line between ardent fan and conspirator. And between conspirator and criminal.

My only fault in the book was that I felt the last few chapters were a little too frantic at times.

I hope this author has a new book out soon. I'd give this one a 4.5 stars and recommend it as a fascinating character study. And, because her writing was so real, I wondered that since this was her debut novel if she hadn't met with a favorite author of hers........and.........you'll see what I mean when you read the book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2018

Emma Fern owned and ran an antique store, and the day Beatrice Johnson Green walked in to purchase an item as a gift for her mother-in-law was the day Emma’s life changed. Beatrice was a well-known author; plus she was also Emma’s favourite author, so she was completely awestruck that Beatrice was in her shop, let alone speaking to her. When Beatrice invited Emma out to lunch a few days later, Emma was at the stage of being willing to do anything that Beatrice asked.

With Emma’s friendship with Beatrice complete, she told her things she hadn’t even told Jim, her husband. She told Beatrice she’d written a novel – but when Beatrice asked Emma to do her a special favour, Emma initially refused. When she finally agreed to Beatrice’s request, once again, life changed for Emma. What would be the outcome of the deceit and lies that came from that one simple request?

Until I Met Her is the debut novel, and #1 in the Emma Fern series for Aussie author Natalie Barelli, and although we know who the murderer is at the beginning of the novel, we have no idea of the why or how. The twists, secrets and devious moves form a clever plot which Barelli has handled well. The characters aren’t particularly likeable – but that’s part of the attraction. Recommended.

A fantastic read from start to finish. The plot is fast paced and the characters realistic and well developed. The author takes you through Emma's first meeting with her idol, her fascination with her, her copy cat styling, to their pact and ultimate betrayal. I couldn't read this fast enough, but at the same time I didn't want it to end! I'm moving straight on to book number 2 in the series. Highly recommended

Wirklich spannend, leicht geschrieben, aber von der Geschichte mal etwas ganz anderes als sonstige Thriller.
Mir hat die Geschichte gefallen und auch die Art wie sie geschrieben ist. Ich konnte ich gut in die Hauptrolle hineinversetzen und ich fand sie bis zum Ende spannend.
