Schon bei 8% wird mir klar, dass ich mit der Geschichte und der Protagonistin nichts anfangen kann oder möchte. Nicht gut geschrieben überdies. Nope.

This isn’t a thriller. It’s soap opera garbage. Badly written, plot that’s drivel and characters that are totally unlikeable and lacking in any kind of substance.

And the consensual partner swap was a long way from being consensual.





Really interesting to see this unravel from all these different perspectives. Saw the first plot twist coming a mile away, but not the second or third one. Overall an enjoyable read!

The premise was interesting, but the execution? Meh. The story didn't seem to really go anywhere. I feel like this was a wasted opportunity, because the mystery in itself was really weak, despite, again, a great premise. But the good thing is the book was very fast-paced and it helped me get out of a reading slump.

Low is a teenage outsider with polyamorous parents who makes friends with Freya, a ceramic artist, who is new to town but when Jamie and her husband move to town she becomes besties with Freya. After Freya and Jamie swap husbands one drunken night Low sets about her revenge.

For the first quarter, I could have sworn I'd read this before but could find no record of it. Then after that point, it diverged from my expectations. (I wonder what book I'd confused it with.) A quick popcorn read. I bit different with all the polyamoury but otherwise your run-of-the-mill one-day-read thriller.
