theknitterwithabook 's review for:
A Simple Favor
by Darcey Bell
When I read the reviews, most of the poor ones were because this book looked too much like Gone Girl and the reader did not like that book at all. So, right away, if you did NOT like Gone Girl or the style of that book, do NOT read A Simple Favor. Sorry if that comes as a spoiler but it's basically the same storyline.
Now that it's out of the way, I love those kind of books. You get Stephanie, Emily and Shawn 1st point of view. They all have weaknesses, they are all twisted in some way, they all have something to hide. Some more than others. I must admit that Stephanie was a bit annoyin at first. She is described as a Captain Mom, she wants to be perfect - to look perfect - and she has this phoney tone that you just want to slap in the face. She is manipulative and egoist. And then...
... you realise she's not the worst!
The book mainly spends half of the story with Stephanie as a narrator, you may want to skip some chapters and skim through her part, and then travels back and forth between the three main characters. I must admit that I love vilains and had a lot of feels for Emily.
