The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen
3.0
Marissa and Matthew are known as a "golden couple" in D.C. -- they're rich, beautiful, and both successful in their own rites, Matthew with his law firm and Marissa with her upscale boutique. But even the perfect couples can have cracks... After a night she wish she could take back, Marissa enlists controversial therapist Avery to help her repair her marriage. Matthew is devastated by his wife's betrayal, but agrees to work with Avery to help keep their marriage together. But when strange things start happening -- cryptic messages, mysterious flower deliveries -- the situation begins escalating. Avery, Marissa, and Matthew all feel threatened, and from every angle. No life truly is perfect, and each one of them is keeping a secret that will shake even the most stable foundation.
Thoughts: Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have been an auto-buy for me since I read their first book, [b:The Wife Between Us|34189556|The Wife Between Us|Greer Hendricks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1496862122l/34189556._SY75_.jpg|55227731]. I enjoy the alternative POV and the twists always waiting to shock readers at the end, and The Golden Couple is full of the writing style and pattern that these authors are known for. There are a few really good surprises in this story, most of them waiting until the last few pages to make your eyebrows raise. But some surprises could be seen coming, to be honest. I also felt like the web they were weaving got a bit out of control and too much plot was beginning to weigh down the story. The authors tied everything together in the end - and in an interesting way, which I very much appreciate - but it almost felt exhausting to read at times. Maybe that was the point, though -- to lay stress onto the reader as if they were one of the main characters. The story was fast-paced given all of the plot points and I did appreciate the way everything is wrapped up.
