Rock Paper Scissors

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Feeney lives up to her reputation as the “queen of the twist”…This page-turner will keep you guessing.” —Real Simple on Rock Paper Scissors
Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts--paper, cotton, pottery, tin--and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

Rock Paper Scissors is the next exciting domestic thriller from the queen of the killer twist, New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney.

As a devoted fan of Alice Feeney, I went into Rock Paper Scissors with high expectations.
I know I'm among the FEW who did not absolutely LOVE this book. Hear me out...

I’ve loved her signature twists, her sharp writing, and the way she crafts psychological thrillers that pull me in from the first page. But this one? Unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me.

It seems like I’m in the minority here, but I found Rock Paper Scissors more frustrating than thrilling. The concept of a married couple sabotaging each other felt exhausting rather than engaging. Psychological thrillers often delve into dark and twisted relationships, but this one leaned too much into deception and cruelty for my taste. It’s not that I need characters to be likable—I just need to be entertained by their choices. Instead, the back-and-forth manipulation felt more gross than gripping.

I won’t deny that Feeney delivers her signature surprises, and I can see why so many people enjoyed the book. The setting is atmospheric, and the structure is clever. But I couldn’t get past my frustration with the couple at the center of it all. A thriller should keep me on the edge of my seat—I shouldn’t just be waiting for it to end.

Will this stop me from reading Alice Feeney’s future books? Absolutely not. She’s a masterful storyteller, and I still count myself among her biggest fans. But Rock Paper Scissors was a rare miss for me.

I liked this book although it was a bit long winded. Still the ending was a surprise and it’s well worth your read.

Loved this book. So many twists and turns. And definitely didn’t predict the ending
