I’m obviously not the correct target audience for this one. Although it’s labeled under mystery/thriller, in my opinion it reads more like a harlequin romance attempting to be a thriller. The writing wavered between almost reading like YA voice to over the top romantic attempts. It just wasn’t for me at all, but maybe someone else will appreciate the writing style.

I honestly tried to like it, because the premise did interest me. But I could tell from the first few pages that it was going to be a struggle. To be honest, after the first four chapters, I did a lot of skimming hoping it would get better.

It’s written in first person POV of the main character, Carrie. She goes in one breath from a bunch of different “oh gosh” utterances to paragraphs later swearing like an adult. Just completely confusing. I was honestly starting to wonder if eventually the book was going to reveal that she had a split personality—one side a young teenager who fawned ceaselessly over her sooo romantic, handsome husband, who literally (at least in her memory) says how he thinks her hands are far too beautiful to ever have to work again, and who falls at her feet holding her thighs professing his love for her for no good reason. Then we see the other side of her, who sneers and grits her teeth and gets overly anxious before anything has even happened yet.

I found the ending predictable yet written strangely. All of a sudden the epilogue is also written first person POV by a side character., revealing the “big twist”.

I wouldn’t recommend this one, and don’t have any interest in reading more by this author. I’m giving it 3 stars only because I think someone who regularly reads and enjoys this type of genre may like it more than I did. So I’d suggest reading other reviews to see if this book is for you.
