The Bed I Made by Lucie Whitehouse

kingfan30's review against another edition

4.0

I really enjoyed the first half this book, the setting of the scenes around the Isle of Wight and the drip feeding of the story line and how Kate met Richard. It was obvious he was married, but the way his character was revealed had me hooked. About half way through the first email arrived and I expected the book to have a massive pick up of pace which just doesn't quite take off. I enjoyed the book overall but felt so much more could have been done to create more tension and the ending felt a little rushed. Would definitely searching out more by. This author though.

I would really struggle to tell you how this is diffent to Before We Met, other than the setting of course. Whitehouse *can* write, both books are very readable, but sadly the book as a whole entity is pointless.

The plot maps out exactly as you think it will from the first few pages, come on give the reader at least a little twist! A lot of the secondary characters are poorly developed and ultimately not required for the plot. Again the female character is unlikeable and ridiculously weak willed. And again the main male character is poorly developed beyond simplistic typical bad traits.

Whitehouse has potential as a writer so will keep an eye out for future books.

I liked this book because it was realistic, this does happen to people and people like Richard do exist!

I really enjoyed the writing style and descriptions, I was hooked from the beginning.

I wasn’t expecting the ending... not sure if I’m pleased with it or not!
