His & Hers: A Novel

My second Alice Feeney book did not disappoint. I’ve only read two but she is the queen of twist endings. I read all but maybe 50 pages of this in one sitting. *TW: this did have some really hard parts to read. Nothing graphic, just hard themes.

3.5⭐, but I'm feeling generous.WHAT?!This book didn't really hook me, I don't know why. But the plot twist?! I saw a few people saying it was predictable, so maybe I just missed something in the story, but my jaw was on the floor at the last chapters.

This is the kind of thriller that keeps you guessing the entire time. I was constantly changing my mind about who the killer was, and of course, the one person I never suspected ended up being the one responsible, wild.That said, there were a few things that didn’t fully add up for me. The ending, in particular, felt confusing. It seemed like Anna believed she was the one who did it, yet it was actually her mother? That disconnect didn’t quite make sense. Also, if her mother was as physically unwell as described, it’s hard to believe she could have pulled off everything she did.Anna and Jack getting back together also felt off. Their daughter’s death was enough to completely tear them apart, but by the end, they’re suddenly back together like a happy family? It just didn’t feel earned.Overall, while the book was definitely gripping and kept me hooked, there were several moments that felt unrealistic or hard to fully believe.
