4.0

Another great thriller that I struggled to put down!


When Marissa takes her husband to see a therapist - who has lost her licence but that actually gives her free rein to practise her 10 step approach - she hopes that Avery can fix her marriage for the sake of her son.

Told from the dual POV of Marissa and Avery it’s certainly a thrilling ride!

I liked that introduction of characters in the background, who as the story progresses, slowly make their way into the foreground and the main body of the story.

Marissa and Matthew have the perfect relationship and one infidelity shouldn’t destroy that. 

Their young adulthood between them plays an important part to the story but I won’t say much more than that. 

Loved it!
