Good Story- nothing off the wall and standard story of girl falling madly in love to quick and realizing she didn't know the man at all. Would read another book by Nicci French
3.5 stars. The plot was thrilling, but the violence was a bit much...
So .... thrillers, romance, erotic, suspense with cheating .... not really my thing! Who knew!
So I’m only 26 pages in and I had to DNF it already. First you have a great boyfriend and a great career. Then you happen to see a dude on the street and all he says is “I’ve been waiting for you.” Instead of touching his face and looking at his features, you should of ran for the hills lady! Did you forget about your boyfriend Jake that fast??? She starts to take his shoe off and notices his right foot only has 3 toes along with other scars all over his body. Not sure if we find out what happened to him later on. Then she has sex with him and heads back to work like nothing happened. I have so many questions and this is supposed to be a thriller similar to Gone Girl. I can’t take it seriously at all.
My first and probably last Nicci French. Too generic for me.
Kind of a strange story. Alice meets Adam and immediately is obsessed with him, to the point of leaving her boyfriend and friends. They get married and at some point, out of jealousy, she starts to poke into his life before her. I found the story to be a bit unbelievable at times. I didn’t hate this book but I also didn’t love it, but I did want to finish it...

Not bad. It's thought provoking. Love and lust are not the same. Lust can lead to obsession.
We are all broken into two halves and we spend our lives looking for our other self. Every affair we have, however stupid or trivial, has a bit of that hope that this might be it, our other self.
We're not interested in each other's worlds, each other's life. All that matters is us here, in this bed.
Marriage is about ordinary things, chores, boring duties, work, squabbles, sorting out squabbles. Everything. Not just... burning desire.
