![]() ![]() My lips were curdled into a sneer the whole time that ending unfolded. David and “Louise” drive off into the sunset together as newlyweds, and David’s none the wiser that he just married Rob a second time and has actually never been married to his first love, Adele. In the present day, Rob ultimately repeats that exact same stunt with Louise, whose spirit is killed inside Adele’s body. Before their experiment, he’d gotten himself just high enough on heroin to immobilize Adele once she entered his form (poor girl had no hard-core smack experience!) before then administering a fatal overdose on his former physical self. ![]() Rob’s spirit traveled into Adele’s body and has been in there ever since, while Adele’s spirit was killed inside Rob’s body because he had booby-trapped it. Back at the estate ten-ish years ago, Rob and Adele agreed to try swapping spirits. This whole time, we thought we were watching a Louise-David-Adele love triangle, but we were actually watching a Louise-David-Rob triangle. In other words, you can live in a body that wasn’t yours to begin with and just pretend to be that person, which is what Rob has been doing since his post-rehab visit to Adele’s estate. Once someone has mastered the art of astral projecting, like Adele and Rob and Louise have, apparently one can not only leave one’s body and go traveling around one can also inhabit someone else’s physical being and stay in there in perpetuity, so long as that corporeal shell you’re hermit-crabbing doesn’t die. Next, SPOILER ALERT, just to have us all on the literal and figurative same page SPOILER ALERT, I’m now going to SPOILER ALERT spell out exactly what Behind Her Eyes’ twist endings MAJOR SPOILER ALERTS turned out to be SPOILERS AHEAAAAAADDDDD … I’m guessing nobody’s hands are still up. Let’s start with a show of hands: Who figured out Behind Her Eyes’ twists (credit due there were indeed two of them!) before they were revealed? Okay, now keep your hands up if you managed to figure it all out without having read the book?
