I have an unpopular opinion, but I felt like dragging my finishing the book integrity characteristic to finish reading this book because I absolutely was bored by the first half. I am glad that the second half was good. Though I still like His & Hers way more than this book, I don't know, but I just missed a genuine thriller in it. The ending was great, so I am satisfied.

⭐️ 3.5 rating. This book is indeed a SLOW burn. The first quarter of the book feels like a sneeze that never comes. But a little past half way through it gets good and you have to finish it! I’m glad I did. It gives a lot of twist and turns and reminds me of Verity as I had just finished reading that book. I once saw a review saying if you read Verity and liked it, read Rock, Paper, Scissors. I see the similarities with the letters from the character, although not as suspenseful, it was worth finishing!

Wait!! What!! What a sweet sentiment, the wife writing a secret letter to her husband on each year of their wedding anniversary about that year’s impact on their marriage, which she may or may not share with him later. But as her tone changes and the gifts they exchange paper, wood, silver, copper turn from sweet and thoughtful to spiteful or forgotten, you wonder what else is going on in this marriage that the husband just “doesn’t see”. I liked it!
