Would you want your partner to hear your every thought? Would you want to hear theirs? That's exactly the premise of this thriller meets sci fi novel.
The husband Elijah is a wealthy man all about technology, to the point of their whole home being digitised. All controlled by an app. Including doors and windows. Yet its mentioned several times throughout the book that His wife, Anna doesn't have the app which for me didn't make sense seeing as it controlled the front door. I just found that all a bit weird!! His latest obsession was with the Unity chip which he then buys them for their anniversary. It was clear Anna wasn't keen on the idea and it seemed she was hiding something from him.. but she goes ahead and gets it anyways. Again this is odd, and honestly made the storyline a little less believable as if you were hiding something from someone you wouldn't then let them have complete access to your thoughts.. hmm?!?
Honestly from the get go they seemed a rather strange match & Elijah didn't seem like a very nice person at all so why Anna was even with him ill never know.
The concept was highly intriguing but I just don't think some of the storyline itself added up or made sense and it definitely wasn't believable [ which is what I like about books ] Shame really as this had great potential.
