The New Couple by Alison James

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

The story definitely starts off slow. While reading Jane’s part i had to go back and make sure the book was a mystery/thriller. I didn’t know where the book was taking me and maybe i skipped over something. Once the other parts started coming together that’s when the big “WOW” “OMG” moment came out. The story came together rather nicely and having all povs at different times in the book to solely focus on that one character was a good touch. 

Jane behind has me cracking up. I wanted her to find a job and stop being nosy. However, I’m happy about her grown. Fergus and Liam ain’t ish. Liam is pretty psycho. I was rooting to Karen but then i gave up hope for her. 

Yea this was worth the read.
