Wellllll this book was kind of all over the place! It started a little slow and sad. It started to pick up toward the middle. Everything I thought was going on was wrong! I don’t think I’ve ever had so many wrong theories! There was plenty of mystery and revelations to keep the story going at a decent pace toward the end of the book. This book is definitely one of the strangest books I’ve read. I really enjoyed it and the messages it conveyed. I would recommend giving it a try though, it was definitely a maze of a story!
Wild twists and turns, unpredictable, steamy scenes, and also a little…cringey? I think the main character’s obsessive, anxious personality is slightly relatable but almost overwhelming to a fault. Overall, the plot and suspenseful elements are great. A pandemic-based thriller offers a way to connect with the storyline. But there were times I wondered whether to continue reading.
Sadly, this was a no for me. It had such great plot potential but it didn’t turn around so it was a miss for me.
I expected a thriller/mystery, but it was more of just a psychological domestic drama, talking about break-ups and living in a threesome..
I will admit vs not DNF i skimmed through many parts that lost my interest.
It just didn’t seem realistic and I continued on hoping for a good ending.
Thank you to NetGalley for an arc of Spare Room in exchange for an honest review.
I HATE giving bad reviews – it just makes me feel so bad, because so much of a review is based on personal opinion.

I was very excited to get an egalley of this book, but unfortunately it just wasn’t for me.
I normally love thrillers! I had heard this one was a bit spicy, so obviously I thought it was a recipe for success! I even heard a lot of gossip about “THAT” scene. I think it occurs in the first half of the book, but…let’s just say that since I can’t even tell you when THAT scene happens, it definitely didn’t even register on my spice radar.
On top of it, the main character, Kelly, was over the top whiny and trusting. She gave Sabrina and Nathan so many chances. They put up with so much snooping and nosiness for Kelly. It was irritating rather than endearing - and I was rooting for their relationship!!! But with every misstep I began to like every character less and less. I think the true fault of this book was that the only likeable character was Virgo, the cat.
I was really excited for a sexy summer thriller, but this fell flat. 2.5 stars rounded up.

Reading about a Throuple is not my idea of a good book….. but I was interested the whole time. Some parts definitely didn’t seem plausible and at times the main character was an idiot, but I actually really like the book.
