Marissa and Matthew, a married couple, have hit a huge snag in their relationship. Marissa seeks out professional counselling from Avery. Avery’s counselling methods are not traditional. She becomes very involved in Marissa and Matthew’s lives.
Throughout the book, it seems like everyone is guilty. As I read on, I had no idea what they were guilty of, they just seemed that they were. This is a very busy book, lots going on. It’s like a “whodunnit” but it takes a long time to figure out what IT is.
The chapters alternated between Marissa and Avery. Oddly, Avery’s chapters are in the first person. Marissa’s are third person. If there is a specific reason for this, I do not know what it is. I just find it odd.
This is definitely a plot-driven book. I don’t find any of the characters particularly likeable. It’s the plot that kept this reader turning pages.
Then, there was the ending! I did not see that coming! At all!!! I love it when the twist at the end truly surprises me.
This was the right book for me, at the right time. I had just finished a heavy, emotional book and was suffering a book hangover. This is a great palette cleanser. It is easy to get into, fast-paced and keeps the reader guessing at every turn of the page. Very entertaining.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an Advance Readers Copy to me.
