Rachel W, Reviewer
Rachel is on the way to pick up a cake as it is her wedding anniversary. While she is doing this she sees her husband David kissing another women. Rachel sets a plan in motion to get her revenge, while she is doing this she also discovers that her marriage isn’t official by law. I thought the book would about Rachel get even but it was more about how the characters felt and I thought it was very slow to build up to the story and then the story ended too quickly. Rachel is main our POV but do you get David’s POV occasionally in the book. Overall this book is about relationships and how we either make them work or move on. I received a ARC from Netgalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for an objection review. |
Honestly I was really excited about this book because it sounds interesting, fun with a slightly dark and vengeful side of taking revenge. But when I actually started reading, I was slowly losing interest and what I find was a boring story instead. I really wanted to enjoy this book but I really couldn't. I feel like the synopsis was a bit misleading since the story focuses more on their inner thoughts and monologues without actually having any action happening along the way. It only took a few pages instead of coursing throughout the entire story which is really anticlimactic. This book was also about forgiveness and realising the deep love that one feels within. Relationships are hard work and you must really commit in order to come out with a successful one with both parties that are equally happy and satisfaction. Love is a rollercoaster ride, one moment you're at its peak and later you're at the bottom but all in all, it is always going to be an eventful ride of a lifetime. |
I loved this book & couldn't put it down! I was given it as an ARC by Netgalley this morning in exchange for my honest review & was sucked straight into the tumultuous relationship between Rachel & David, they felt like two friends whom you'd known for a long time. Sad in places, laugh out loud in others & I found myself wanting to knock some sense into both of them in places. Definitely a 5 star read rating from me! |
*Book provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review* I really like the idea behind this book and I think the beginning is perfect. I was hooked from the start and was really curious about finding out what Rachel is going to do. It was fab to see all her thoughts and how she managed the sitation of an anniversary party and other things. Keeping up the act after seeing your husband kiss another woman is not easy. Then she wants out that their marriage wasn’t legal, it’s time to break his heart. She did a lot to make his life hard and that wasn’t easy to see, I even felt sorry for David. The great thing about this book: David got to share his perspective as well. Sometimes in bewteen some chapters were dedicated to him and we got to read everything from his point of view. That was really interesting and actually explained what really happened with this woman. I really enjoyed this book, the storyline is very exciting, funny and full of ups and downs. At times I felt it dragged a little bit and I wanted the story to move forward too quickly. The book is full of emotions and I think the authors captured them really well. I didn’t really like the way it was all resolved, I kind of expected more there, but I still liked this story very much, also the ending. A great story that will keep you hooked! |
