Readers say *The Perfect Marriage* is a gripping domestic thriller that keeps readers guessing with its suspenseful, twist-filled plot and dual perspe...
The story concept was unique enough to get me to pick up the book. Man cheats one wife. Man gets arrested under suspicion of murdering his mistress. Wife, a hotshot lawyer, decides to defend him in said murder case. Did he do it?
The writing style of this one is… basic to say the least, as in its simplistic, which I guess made it easier to read and get through at a quick pace; that combined with wanting to know what happens, makes for a fast-paced read. I liked the dual 1st person POV, getting the perspectives from both Sarah, the wife and lawyer, and Adam, the husband being charged with a murder he vehemently denies he committed. But I found, like, 99% if the characters to be not fully fleshed out and annoyingly insufferable for a variety of reasons.
The Gone Girl-ish PLOT TWIST AT THE END! The further I got, the more I started to question/see it coming. Was I shook? Yeah! But, because kind of eventually saw it coming in the chapters immediately leading up to the plot twist, the big reveal wasn’t it wasn’t as shocking as it was probably intended. (Some of the details surrounding Sarah at the end of the book were more shocking to me!)
Did I enjoy this book? Yes, I did like it for what it was. Was it the best written book with well rounded characters? Not necessarily. But, I’m a sucker for a thriller and I’m always on a need-to-know basis when it comes to whodunits!
