Too Good To Be True
One of my favorite things about a mystery book is trying to figure out the plot. Just when I think I have it all figured out and I'm loving and hating the so called villain to only then be thrown a curveball, well that is the understatement of the year with this book.
Too Good To be True is told from 3 different Point of views that had me so hooked I couldn't just put it down, had it not been for sleep I would most likely have finished it in one sitting. This story is so unhinged full of horrible toxic types of relationship that at one point I was questioning my own marriage. If these are things you love in mystery books, I highly recommend. I know it is also listed as a thriller but it's not a jump out of your seat - Boo type of book so for me it falls more towards mystery.
⚠️There is a Sexual Assault scene, that I understand might have been meant to make the reader uncomfortable and believe me it made me want to hurl, so read with that in mind ⚠️
⚠️ Other warnings that may be triggering for some people:
- Substance Abuse
- Mental Illness
⚠️Death of a child ⚠️
over all this was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for me and I will look into reading more books by this author.
Also Thanks to Book of The Month for having this book in their Selection.
