Behind Her Eyes is set to hit Netflix early next year

The original book is written by Sarah Pinborough, which was published in 2017 and became a bestseller.

What is Behind Her Eyes about?

Louise has been working hard to support herself and her son with the wages from her part-time job since her husband walked out.

Her son is her only focus – until David Young walks into her life. Successful and charming, Louise is tempted and the pair embark on an affair.

But then Louise meets his beautiful and elegant wife, Adele, and a friendship appears to blossom.
