The Couple in the Photo by Helen Cooper
3.0
This was an overall enjoyable read. There were a few twists I didn’t see coming, but I had a few issues with the story itself.
Have you ever seen a picture that you can’t let go of? It drives you crazy. You go down all the rabbit holes of what it could mean and if you saw it correctly. That is how this book starts.
Lucy is talking with her coworker who just got back from her honeymoon. She shows Lucy a picture and Lucy knows her whole life is about to change. In the picture is her best friend’s husband Scott but now with his wife Cora but with another woman. Lucy cannot let this go. She tries to talk herself down and rationalize what she sees, but then the women in the picture is reported as missing on the news. Things go from bad to much much worse.
Lucy’s life gets unraveled. There is distance between her and her husband and then their best friends and their kids best friends. They have purchased a cottage together. They have built a life around each other. Was any of it true?
I can’t pinpoint what it is yet that made me not give this book 4 stars, but as I said it was an overall easy read once I got into it. I can say there was something about it that didn’t make me want to sit and read it all in one setting like I have experienced with other thrillers. I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
