Desperate by Daniel Palmer

wallflower11216's review against another edition

3.0

I took my time reading this book. If I hadn't, I don't think I would have ever finished it. It had its moments, but otherwise it was pretty boring and though Gage was right in his doubts and paranoia, I found him to be incredibly annoying and irritating.

It is great for fans of action and thrillers, but I thought the book was one thing, and it ended up being something different, if that makes sense.

I saw this book referred to as the "man's Gone Girl". I don't think that's an accurate description, but it was good. Flowed well with suspense. I'll definitely read others by this author. Recommended.

Daniel Palmer has become one of my go-to authors for unputdownable (shut up; it's a word if I want it to be) books. Because oh, this book.

So many twists and turns, so many things I didn't see coming, so many creepy and sad things.

I really felt for Gage. Horrible things had happened to him (his wife and son were killed in an accident involving a drunk driver) and so obviously he'd fallen apart for a little while. (In the normal way, not in a crazy, Charlie Sheen implosion.) But now things are looking better. He's remarried and he and his wife are considering adopting a baby. And then they meet Lily who is pregnant with a baby she doesn't want. Perfect, right?

Of course not.

This is an amazing, ridiculously fun book. I can't imagine you won't love it as much as I did.

Highly recommended.
