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.

*SPOILERS*

Alice Feeney paints the most beautiful story about a couple who has marriage issues. The entire time I kept saying that one of them is going to murder the other. That is how I took the story. UNTIL the last three chapters. As Adam reads the letter from him Ex Wife Robin he finds out that is current wife Amelia "killed" his mother when he was just 13. You find out that in the next two chapters that Robin kills Amelia and that Adam in FACT was the one driving the vehicle at age 13 who killed his mother, not Amelia. You also read that Adam and Robin get back together and practically erase Amelia from the flat they live in. Which is wild in 2 chapters that all happens. Then Sam gets his own chapter for the very end. You find out about Sam in the last few chapters of the book and how he is a PI.

Overall I felt that when it came to the last three chapters it almost seemed as if the deadline was due when the last chapters were not finished and they were slapped together. If it wasn't for the first half of the book and the painted story in my head from Alice Feeney it would've gotten lower stars.

I am ok with the being one of the few who gave a low rating. The book was great until the end. The beginning and end mean the most to me.

A couple is stuck in the chapel, trying to mend their broken marriage and uncovering deep dark secrets.. It was fun to read, though a little predictable but the way it was written was fun

The plot twists were incredible! The only reason it isn't 4 is the pacing - pretty slow at the beginning. It was a good starter thriller.

TW: it does mentions sex but not in detail and it is easy to skip over as I did, barely any cussing.

I wish every book had TWs so I wrote it here for y'all.

I personally felt let down. I was so hooked the whole book but the plot and twist didn’t do it for me. I was disappointed.

“People change and promises—even the ones we try to keep—sometimes get broken.” A wife starved for her husband's attention. A husband who works too much and suffers from facial blindness. An anniversary weekend getaway to Scotland that will make or break them. And someone lurking in the shadows. Let's play a round of rock paper scissors. Winner survives the weekend... "The reason why a person lies is almost always more interesting than the lie itself” I really enjoyed the quiet darkness of this one. The creep factor was pretty high. The sadness and rage that each POV presented was palpable. There were a few gotchas that definitely got me. Also, I did not know about prosopagnosia, or the inability to recognize even familiar faces, before reading this. Apparently Brad Pitt suffers from it. So yeah, that's a thing...
