This book started off really strong for me and was an overall fast read. I think I struggled because ALL of the characters were such terrible people. Even the kid, Charlie. Maybe that was the point, but it made me lose interest a little. I loved the concept that both husband and wife were just terrible and kept awful secrets, but when everyone is unlikeable, it’s a little more difficult for me to stay invested. Great first psych thriller from this author and I’ll definitely keep an eye out if she does another

I wanted to love this one, but it was confusing, none of the characters were likable, and the ending wasn’t satisfying. I felt like the Sadie character’s perspective was unnecessary and then she faked her death, but nothing happened after that. There were no consequences or reveal. Victoria Parker vanished from the narrative. Madeline’s motives were fairly flimsy and if I heard Tyler complain about how much he hated his wife, but actually loved her one more time, I was going to throw this book across the room. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t do it for me.

Who Did I Marry? is a tense, emotional ride that slowly pulls you into the unraveling of a marriage built on secrets. Sara Pucci writes with such realism that I found myself constantly wondering, “What would I do in her shoes?”

The suspense builds naturally, and the main character feels incredibly real—strong, vulnerable, and relatable. This isn’t just a thriller; it’s a powerful look at trust, identity, and the shock of discovering you may not know your partner at all.

Highly recommend if you like domestic thrillers that stick with you long after you’ve finished.

Charlie's birthday party is in full swing in their upmarket townhouse, but why hasn't her dad shown up yet? Madeline, her mam, spots a strange mam staring in their windows. A man is found dead in front of their porch. The police arrive as Charlie's Dad, Tyler reappears, intoxicated, and unable to explain his whereabouts. Tyler is arrested, but did he commit the murder? who is the dead person? who was the strange man at the window? and did anyone at the party notice anything?

I really liked the storyline for this book. It sounded exciting, dramatic, and right up my street. I enjoyed trying to work out what had happened and must admit that I really didn't see the twist at the end coming! Although everything came together at the end of the book, there is potential for a follow-up story.
I did feel there were one or two side stories that didn't really add anything to the overall storyline. Some of the police procedures didnt follow true life, but I didnt let that get in the way of enjoying it. If you're looking for a 'lighter' murder mystery, then this could be the read for you.

Sara Pucci’s Who Did I Marry? is a gripping domestic thriller that starts with a child’s birthday party and ends with a murder — and a husband who claims he can’t remember a thing. As suspicion grows, the protagonist is forced to confront unsettling truths about the man she thought she knew.

Fast-paced and emotionally intense, this novel explores trust, betrayal, and the terrifying idea that the real danger might be in your own home. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell, this book will keep you guessing until the very end.

Who Did I Marry by Sara Pucci just fell completely flat for me. I didn’t feel a connection to any of the characters and the story just felt all over the place. Characters put in who really had no context or background. I found myself skipping over pages just to get to the end to see what happened.

Who Did I Marry? is a gripping 'whodunit' thriller told from multiple perspectives that will keep you guessing who the real killer is until the very end. Sara Pucci is poised to give Frieda McFadden and Jeneva Rose a serious run for their money.

I loved this book and I can’t wait to see the sequel or another book from this author! I felt like I was inside the book. I lived the story — with every chapter, I became Madeline, Detective Rynn, Tyler. And the finals chapters .. just soo good. I was expecting that turn
If you like this genre, you’ll love it. Even if it’s not your usual genre, you’ll still love it.

Another new author! A great physcological thriller. Charlie is enjoying her birthday party at home, when a body of a man is found outside on the front lawn, by their house keeper. Tyler, Charlie's dad cannot remember anything g about the day, so when he is questioned later by the police, he doesn't know what he is telling the detectives is the truth or not what is happening to the family will the truth come out? It was a rollercoaster of a read, twists and turns around every corner. I loved it

Pucci's debut thriller is deliciously fast paced and entertaining. I really connected to the protagonist, Madeline--likeable (and unlikeable in a good way)––and kept on reading until I was hit by that surprise ending. The other characters, like Sadie and Victoria, really added to the tension. Loved the story and how everything played out! Brava!

This easy-to-read who-done-it mystery is told from multiple perspectives, creating a trainwreck-like experience that you can’t put down. The characters are all shady, and you can easily see how each might have a motive for killing. It’s a house of cards built on lies and deception, and it all comes crashing down. You keep going back and forth between characters, trying to figure out who the actual murderer is and why they did it. However, I did feel like there was a bit missing. It was quite choppy, but you just want to keep reading to find the answers.

This is a fast paced read which automatically makes it a 4 star for me. There is no unnecessary descriptions which is turn off for me . In some places the plot feels a bit predictable and the actions of the one of the character is sometimes so questionable that you want to face-palm yourselves. But all in all this is good quick read if you're into domestic thrillers.

The people closest to us hurt us the most…

I was lucky enough to be chosen to ARC read this book, and had high expectations after all I had seen about it.

It did not disappoint, it gave me everything it promised.

Unlikeable characters that I didn't trust, unexpected twists and unreliable narrators all rolled into one. It kept me guessing until the end, and even when I thought I had it all figured out, there was still more to be revealed. It was fast paced and tense throughout, one I would definitely recommend for any thriller fan!

Who Did I Marry? is a fast-paced domestic thriller that immediately pulls you in with its layered plot and shifting perspectives. I was hooked by the alternating points of view and the constant tension—I truly couldn’t tell who to trust or what was coming next. The twists are plentiful and well-paced, making it a binge-worthy read.

While there were moments where I wished for a bit more detail or clarity in certain transitions, the overall storytelling was strong. Sara Pucci ties the threads together in a way that’s satisfying and thought-provoking, keeping the reader engaged until the very end. A great pick for fans of psychological suspense with complex dynamics and unpredictable turns.

It’s Charlie’s birthday party and her father is nowhere to be seen. What should have been a perfect family occasion soon turns into a crime scene.

The story was told through multiple viewpoints which added to the suspense and intrigue. Although it did get confusing at times.

I didn’t particularly like any of the characters and found them quite hard to relate to although considering the theme of the book this was probably a good thing.

This book was fast paced with plenty of twists and turns and an ending I wasn’t expecting.

Thanks to Storm Publishing, Sara Pucci and NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Who Did I Marry? is a fast paced psychological thriller filled with lots of twists and turns. I disliked all the characters, which made me want all of them to be guilty…. and maybe they were…?

I guessed the final few twists towards the end, but overall the book kept me on my toes and left me wanting more!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and Storm Publishing for access to this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read Who Did I Marry?

Unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me, and I was unable to finish it. I DNF’d at 44%. I found it difficult to connect with the characters, particularly Madeline and Tyler. Their relationship didn’t feel very believable, and the dialogue between them lacked the emotional depth I was hoping for. As a result, their dynamic didn’t really draw me in.

I also struggled with the structure and pacing of the plot. Some developments felt a bit abrupt or disconnected, which made it hard to stay engaged. The police procedural elements, in particular, didn’t feel entirely convincing, and at times came across as unrealistic — for example, I found it unlikely that a detective would communicate via text with someone involved in a murder investigation.

While the premise intrigued me, I couldn’t quite connect with the writing style, and overall, I didn’t feel invested enough to continue.

That said, I know reading is a very personal experience, and I’m sure this book will find its audience among readers who enjoy domestic thrillers with dramatic twists.

First I want to give my thanks to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and Sara Pucci for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This debut novel delivers a fast-paced and engaging plot that had me turning pages quickly. The story starts strong, pulling the reader in with its tension and momentum. While I found myself thoroughly enjoying the journey, the ending didn’t quite live up to the buildup of the earlier chapters—I was expecting more. Interestingly, I didn’t particularly connect with any of the characters (which is good), but that didn’t take away from the overall reading experience. Despite my mixed feelings about the conclusion, this is an impressive first novel, and I’m curious to see if a sequel is in the works.

When a dead body turns up in front of Madeline and Tyler’s house during their daughter’s birthday party it quickly becomes clear that something sinister is going on at this rich couples perfect home. Tyler can’t remember what happened that morning and seems like the likely suspect but a whole web of lies is exposed that will leave you gasping. This is a great, dark psychological thriller that had me hooked from beginning to end. The twists and turns in it were amazing and had me guessing until the very end. I liked the evilness of the characters and thought the storyline was great with so many unexpected turns. I highly recommend this to someone who likes a fast paced thriller with plenty of twists.
