Wow, I would’ve not have guessed that ending! This book had multiple povs and took me on a ride from beginning to end.

Who Did I Marry is a dark, twisty domestic thriller where no one’s really likable—and honestly, that’s what makes it so addicting. Behind the glossy facade, money doesn’t buy happiness, just a whole lot of secrets and lies. The fast pace, short chapters, and multiple POVs keep you hooked, even if you want to shake some sense into these characters. A solid, messy ride that’s hard to put down—highly recommend if you’re into gritty suspense.

Thank you for letting me read this book - i did really enjoy it. It had me hooked for a lot of the book.
However, there was certian parts that seemed to drag on a little. Some parts felt not needed for the story.
Saying that, i did still really enjoy it and i did read it very quickly! I would still highly recommend for all thriller lovers!

I don’t like giving negative reviews but I really did find little positive about Who Did I Marry? The first chapter was fine, it engaged me and I settled into enjoying a psychological thriller. By the end of the third chapter I was starting to get annoyed by the unlikeable characters, the terrible dialogue and the unrealistic police interactions. Then came the funeral scene and by the end it all got a bit laughable. It’s frustrating because the premise of this book was interesting, it was just so very poorly executed. The daughter’s journal entries were ludicrous and most of the plot twists simply absurd.

Who Did I Marry? by Sara Pucci is an addictive psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. The story revolves around a seemingly perfect family whose lives are turned upside down when a dead body is discovered at their daughter's birthday party. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, the protagonist must navigate a web of lies to protect her daughter and uncover the truth.

Pucci's writing is sharp and engaging, with well-developed characters and a plot full of shocking twists. The suspense builds steadily, making it hard to put the book down. Compared to other thrillers in the genre, Who Did I Marry? stands out for its intricate plot and the depth of its psychological exploration.

I did occasionally find the shifting points of view and characters changing opinions of one another confusing, but at times, this added to the realism of the relationships. Madeline and Tyler have a toxic marriage, and this is clear in the way they profess their love for one another one moment and hatred the next.

Overall, this ebook is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. Sara Pucci has crafted a gripping story that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the characters.

Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC

This book hit the ground running and kept on running. This is a fast paced, engaging page turner.

My only critique is that it was too long for a story like this and eliminating some unnecessary details could have made the story shorter.

I liked it well enough but don’t think I will be thinking about it for weeks or months to come.

This book pulled me in right away with its dramatic opening. From the start, I had that uneasy feeling, like something was just off behind all the wealth and perfection. As the story unfolded, I found myself constantly questioning who I could trust, and I loved that tension. Every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist made me second guess everything.

That said, I didn’t always feel deeply connected to the characters. But the book definitely delivered on suspense, and I tore through it in just a couple sittings. It gave me that anxious, i need to find out what happens feeling I look for in thrillers, even if I wished for a little more depth in the aftermath.

Overall, a binge worthy read that left me unsettled in the best way.

Who Did I Marry grabbed me right from the first chapter and didn’t let go. A dead body at a child’s birthday party? That’s the kind of dark, domestic drama I can’t resist—and this book delivered on all fronts.

The narrator is layered, sharp, and clearly hiding just as much as everyone else in the story. I loved the slow unraveling of secrets and the way the tension kept building inside the house—both emotionally and literally. The author does a great job showing how quickly a picture-perfect life can start to crack.

Tyler was frustrating in the best possible way. I didn’t know whether to believe him, and that made things feel all the more unsettling. The amnesia trope can sometimes feel tired, but here it worked because of how skillfully the author planted doubt at every turn. Add in Detective Rynn, who’s persistent without being over-the-top, and you've got a solid mix of characters you don’t quite trust—but can’t stop watching.

I’m giving it four stars instead of five because the final twist, while shocking, felt a bit rushed. I wanted just a little more time to sit in the fallout. But overall, this was a compelling, page-turning thriller that kept me guessing—and second-guessing—until the end.

If you love domestic thrillers with buried secrets, shifting loyalties, and a good dose of paranoia, Who Did I Marry is definitely worth the read.

Madeline and Tyler seem to have the perfect life with their daughter Charlie. But when a dead body literally appears on their doorstep all the secrets they have been keeping come to light.

I liked the first half of the book but the second half just seemed way too far fetched for me. I also did not like the ending at all.

Charlie’s birthday party is in full swing at their upscale townhouse - but where is her dad?

Madeline, her mom, notices a strange man peering through their windows. Moments later, a body is discovered on the porch. As the police arrive, Charlie’s dad, Tyler, suddenly reappears. He’s drunk and unable to explain where he’s been. He’s arrested, but is he really the killer? Who is the dead man? Who was the stranger at the window? And did anyone at the party see anything?

I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. It was exciting, dramatic, and my usual wheelhouse of a thriller I really love to dive into. I had fun making predictions as I read. I have to admit, I didn’t see the twist at the end coming!

While everything tied together by the end, I think there’s room for a follow-up story. That said, there were one or two side plots that didn’t feel essential to the main storyline, and some of the police interactions didn’t seem accurate to real life. Still, that didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment.

This book was a page turner from start to finish. Trying to keep up with each date and specific time while also paying attention to the POV got confusing at times, however the twists that were scattered throughout the book kept the book interesting.

Who did I marry? Probably should've read "who I married and 100 reasons why I should've stayed single". A disaster just waiting to happen and it does!!!!

This book confused me from start to finish. I know it’s a fictional book but so many things were far fetched and I also found it rather repetitive unfortunately

The premise had promise: a lavish birthday party, a picture-perfect townhouse, and a dead body on the lawn—what more could you want from a domestic thriller? Told through multiple POVs with short, punchy chapters, the pacing keeps things moving just enough that it’s not a slog to finish, even if it never quite reaches must-read territory.

Was it predictable? Absolutely. A twist or two tried to shock, but most turns felt telegraphed well in advance. Forgettable? Probably—I wouldn’t be surprised if I struggled to recall the plot a week from now. The characters didn’t help either. Most were grating or flat-out unlikable, and a few seemed to exist solely to pad the cast rather than contribute to the narrative in any meaningful way.

That said, the inclusion of journal entries was a nice touch—it added a layer of intrigue and gave the story a needed shift in tone. And while the dialogue occasionally veered into cringe territory, the author’s writing style overall was clean and engaging. I wouldn’t hesitate to give another one of their books a try.

Sara Pucci delivers an absolutely addictive page-turner in *Who Did I Marry?* that had me canceling plans just to keep reading. The story grabs you from its shocking opening - a dead man on the doorstep of Tyler and Madison's Upper East Side townhouse during their daughter's birthday party - and never lets go.

What makes this domestic thriller exceptional is Pucci's masterful control of suspense. The rotating perspectives between characters keep you constantly guessing - who's lying? Who's hiding something? Even the seemingly trustworthy narrators had me second-guessing every revelation. The New York setting adds wonderful texture, from the glossy wealth of the Upper East Side to the city's grittier underbelly.

I particularly loved how Pucci ramps up the tension while still developing her characters into fully-realized people. The marital dynamics feel authentic even as the situation spirals into unbelievable territory. And that ending! Perfectly executed with just the right balance of shock and satisfaction.

For fans of The Last Thing He Told Me or The Wife Between Us, this is your next obsession. Clear your schedule before starting - you won't want to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for providing an advance review copy.** This electrifying thriller earns every bit of its 5 stars!
