Alice Feeney has been on my tbr for a while now, especially because she's so liked by Sara Carolli and Destiny Sidster - now that I'm reading "Rock Paper Scissors" by her as well, I definitely have a better feel of her writing style and how she crafts her mystery books. I really enjoy this domestic thriller style because it takes its time to explore the character relationships, whether it be husband and wife or sister and sister.
Amber wakes up in a hospital in a coma, yet she can hear everyone around her (they have no idea though). She doesn't remember how she ended up there, only with an inkling that her husband had something to do with it. The timelines switch between the present, a week before accident and a number of diary entries from her childhood twenty years ago. It weaves psychological thrill, mystery and more into this really fun book that is exciting to unravel. The twist was super fun and I found it to be a pretty fast paced read.
