The Move by Felicity Everett

3.0

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The move follows Karen & Nick on their new start away from the busy lives they lived in London, throughout the book you discover the reason for their new start, and the book feels like you are following Karen on a 6 month journey of recovery from a mental health illness (this is my presumption as you are never told exactly what happened, just that she was on medication for some time) as well as a journey of self discovery and reevaluation of her marriage. It was an interesting read, and I did enjoy it, however for me it lacked any kind of plot twists and the ending just felt incomplete and kind of out of nowhere. I felt most of the time I was just reading the diary of a paranoid and insecure wife, but they may be on purpose depending on if she did have a mental health illness. However I also would of liked to find out if something was ever done about Nick's treatment of Ethan. Plus Nick and Ethan's sudden change felt a little too unbelievable to be honest.
My favourite character was easily Cath, she was such a likeable character and I found myself feeling more upset at her situation than the main characters. However the writing was engrossing and I did find myself very involved in the book, I'm just so frustrated with the unanswered questions, was Nick cheating? Was Karen right in being suspicious? Who left the dead crow? Who slashed the tyres? I just cannot deal with having so many unanswered questions.
