This is my first thriller ever and I’m sad to say that I’m disappointed . I didn’t enjoy it one bit, it felt forced and unrealistic . The characters weren’t lovable, and I get that they’re not supposed to be, but to be honest I didn’t care what happened to any of them .

Madeline was a therapist that couldn’t even help herself . Tyler found out that the person his wife was accused of murdering was alive and faked her dead, and instead of going to the authorities he got in bed with her . At the end it kind of feels like there is going to be a sequel, I’m afraid to admit that I wont be reading it .

A quick whodunnit with despicable characters, rotating POVs and a pretty good twist ending.

We start at Madeline and Tyler’s lavish upper east side townhouse for their daughter, Charlie’s 14th birthday. Tyler’s still at work, Madeline is annoyed, she’s not familiar with her daughter’s friends’ parents, her housekeeper is rude, her in-laws are stuffy, and her only ally is her best friend, Rose. Then a dead body appears in their backyard.

I wish I could say I finished this one within 24hrs because it was so good, but it was simply a fast read and I have so many other books on deck I’m excited to get to. The dialogue was unnatural and included too much exposition early on. It’s a book, give us exposition, don’t make the mother-in-law appear and give a long monologue only to have everyone else respond in monologue exposition. So unnecessary. I also could have done without the daughter’s journal entries that sounded like haikus, and anyone who has watched a cop show knows that a detective doesn’t answer a 911 destress call to only appear and head straight for the couch to chat without checking the place for intruders. So yes, I had a few issues.

Overall, it was fine, and I hope a lot of this is cleaned up for the final version before release.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fast-paced thriller, but one-dimensional characters. It was difficult to really dive in and invest in any of the characters.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC.

This was a really good read! It was hard to put down and every time I thought I had the plot figured out, I was wrong. I love a good book that keeps me guessing and I love when the end wasn’t what I thought it would be! I definitely look forward to reading more from this author!

Great for mystery and thriller lovers!

Firstly, I’m very thankful for the opportunity to read this book and review it honestly.

Things I liked:

> the multiple perspectives, its interesting and adds a compelling aspect to the story.
> The first chapter

Things I didn’t like:

> the characters, I don’t mind unlikeable characters but these characters didn’t click with me at all, I felt like they were more one dimensional than not, and the dialogue didn’t always fit,

> The pacing, I’m normally a huge fan of fast paced thrillers but this book sometimes felt like whip lash and I felt lost and also like the gravity of some of the more shocking moments weren’t given room to breathe.


I am very thankful to have been allowed to read this book but it wasn’t for me personally.

Thank you Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC. Lots of twists and turns and lots of guessing games. Hard to put this one down.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a solid psychological thriller with some good twists and turns. This book kept my attention the entire time and kept me guessing. I really liked the storyline and the fact I couldn’t really trust anyone. Another thing I really liked was that it had the perspective of multiple characters. Definitely worth the read!

Madeline and Tyler are throwing their daughter Charlie a 14th birthday party at their home. The party was going along beautifully. Everybody seem to be having fun except Tyler was at home. He was still at work, but Madeline refused to ruin Charlie special day. Then justice the party was really getting going, there was a disturbance out in the backyard. Madeline and Rose who is her best friend find a dead body. Who is this person? What is he doing at Charlie’s birthday party? It wasn’t until they identified the man’s body that Madeline or should I call her Evelyn Was starting to get worried. Was her past catching up to her? Will she be able to keep ahead of this especially when she sees Tyler finally getting home and he doesn’t seem like he’s in any great shape.

Police try to figure out what went on there. We find many twists along the way. These people who they say they are what is everybody hiding? Why is Charlie so upset? How does Sadie fit into all of this? Well, these questions can be answered when you read this thriller and hope that your questions were all be answered. I love the twist and turns in this book. I thought I figured out the answer to the questions and I found out I was wrong. You find out that people are who they really are and there are people you really shouldn’t trust and how some people just pop up at the wrong time.

I enjoyed the characters of Maddie/Emlyn because she was really complex and you really never knew what she was going to do next. You know she loved her daughter and would do anything for her. With Tyler being so unstable will Madeline be able to hold it all together and get out of this whole situation without being thrown in jail? The writing was superb. It kept me guessing the whole time. I just truly enjoyed it, and I would recommend this to anybody who likes a real thriller.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm publishing for the advanced copy. I also would like to thank Miss Pucci for a very suspenseful and thrilling book. 4.5 stars.

This was such a good book. I loved the story and the writing so much. The characters were great and the story flowed smoothly. Will definitely read more books by this author in the future.

First, thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC!

A dead body at a party always does sort of ruin the fun, doesn't it? But that is exactly what is happening in tis book during the birthday party Tyler and Madeline are holding for her daughter.

The different POV's were a bit of a challenge again, but it was a good story with just the right pacing and twists and turns until the end, filled with a lot of chilling family secrets. Very recommended!

This is my first book by this author and I actually really enjoyed it. It had the perfect whodunnit feel to it that I really enjoy.

Here we have Madeline and Tyler the parents who are really excited about their 14 year old daughter Charlie’s birthday but things don’t go as planned when a dead body show up on their doorstep. No one knows what happened and how it happened. Madeline and Tyler both have things they don’t wanna reveal anything and they are not what they seem like.

When the investigation keeps them on their toes Madeline will do anything to hold her family together. It has lots of twist and turns and lots of drama that I liked. Highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for kindly providing me with this eARC.

This book was a whole entire mess and I loved every bit of it I thank you so much for allowing me this early read I will recommend

This starts off with a bang, with a dead body at a party, but I found it slow going at first. There are a lot of characters to meet and you start out in the dark, plot-wise. But once it got going, it was addictive! The short chapters and rotating POVs made it perfect for picking up in free moments and the “just one more” feeling kept me turning pages. It was a great book to carry around and sneak more chapters every chance I got. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened.

This family seems perfect from the outside but on the inside, it's far from perfect. While Who Did I Marry by Sara Pucci has an intriguing premise, the unlikable characters made it difficult to get emotionally invested in the story. The plot had potential, but without someone to root for, it fell a bit flat for me. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4!

This book definitely kept me guessing every chapter and changing my mind about who the true culprit was throughout! I love a book with different POVs and this one had the perfect number...I also loved the inclusion of the journal. My 2 dislikes were that I never found any of characters likable/worthy of me rooting for them and I felt the ending was a bit rushed. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and finished it in less than 24 hours!

First, I want to thank NetGalley, Storm Publishing, and the author, Sara Pucci, for the opportunity to review an early copy of this book.

I love a good thriller/mystery, and this might be one of my favorite reads of the year. I especially enjoyed the multiple points of view. It really allowed me to immerse myself in each character's perspective and made the story even more compelling. I also love when books incorporate communication through text messages between characters; it adds a layer of realism that pulls me in even more.

This book has twists—the kind that genuinely surprised me. I definitely gasped more than once! Each character processes the unfolding events differently, and that variety made me reflect on how our actions can deeply affect others,especially, those we might not expect. It’s also a powerful reminder that some emotional wounds may still be very much present. We tend to put band aids to those but that at the end, they will continue to hurt us and hurt those around us. Another takeaway from this book was that you never truly know someone. We all carry secrets; we’re all boxes full of surprises.

I liked the writing style and the length of the book. It was very engaging to the point I needed to know what the outcome was so I ended up reading it the same day I got it. The only reason I’m not giving it a full five stars is that a few characters were left hanging, and I was left with some unanswered questions. That said, if you’re looking for a fast-paced, fun, twisty read, this one is definitely recommended!

I’m really sorry, I don’t like giving negative reviews but there wasn’t one thing I enjoyed about this book. All the characters were dreadful, the plot was totally unbelievable, and I couldn’t finish it quick enough. I’ve given it two stars instead of the one I felt it deserved because the writing wasn’t bad. Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley, and I’m sorry again that I can’t find anything positive to say.

Thank you Storm Publishing and #Netgalley for the eArc in exchange for my review of 'Who Did I Marry?" by Sara Pucci.

A dead body is found at Charlie's 14th birthday party outside. Throughout the book, it is a "who done it" scenario that you think you have figured all out, but I assure you, you do not. Masterfully written, the plot is great and the characters are even better. They were all full of personality and very different.

I can honestly say, I was turning the pages as fast as I could from the very beginning! A gripping, psychological thriller, I could not put this book down, making it a quick read. I can't wait to read her next masterpiece. I highly recommend. 4.5 stars!!

Tyler and Madeline Johnson have a daughter Charlie and have been married for fifteen years – they live in a beautiful 8,000 square foot townhouse – in fact their live-in maid Sadie has her own quarters.

Tyler is very successful CEO and works long hours.
Madeline has been busy preparing for Charlie’s Fourteen Birthday party -Their home looks perfect and the decorations are the right touch for the party.
Charlie friends are in the pool and although Charlie has on her party dress it is no surprise that she is thrown into the pool. After the cake is cuts Madeline goes back into the house and hears a noise at the front of the house. She finds a man on the porch with red on his shirt.
Needless to say, the party is over and the house is a crime scene.

Tyler is accused of his murder - if the half-brother had been revealed Tyler would only earn half of the inheritance- thus giving a reason to hide knowledge of him.
Wow! It was hard to keep up with these characters. They were liars and it seems everyone has a secret.
The characters were unlikeable but I had to read on and find out what in the world was really going on.
The ending was a wild ride.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for granting me this great me this crazy ride!
