A review by wickedgrumpy
The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

1.75

As a palate cleanser I think it did it's job because I am feeling desperate to get back to some kind of fiction that isn't a thriller or horror.

It was very predictable and the characters were infuriating.
