I love a good book that keeps me guessing, and Rock Paper Scissors was exactly that! This was a story full of twists and turns that made me "oh my!" aloud on more than one occasion with actual, legitimate surprise. Just make sure your calendar is empty when you pick this one up because I guarantee you once you start it you won't wanna set it down until the very last word on the very last page has been read. Five stars all the way!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

These are few of books I read where I really liked the twist. Maybe I saw something coming but definitely was not in the way I expected. I wish I could show every book. I‘m looking for those all of you have posted, it will be great to discover those twist. 😃I enjoyed the tagged book also.

Everyone was so unlikeable in this book. I knew there was something going on because this author usually has a twist you don‘t see coming. I wasn‘t shocked by the twist because I wasn‘t that invested in this book.

I loved how this was about a married couple and how the story went from an anniversary to the next. It was super intriguing to see what has happened in a year between them.

This had also a present plotline where the couple was having a weekend together, trying to save their marriage.

This wasn't the most believable thriller but still super enjoyable. I loved all the twists, they were amazing.

You know what… no.
The characters are SO unlikable, which I can sometimes deal with in domestic thrillers. But… they didn‘t have to be this diabolical, just get a divorce.. then the twists started twisting & it got good for a while… but at LEAST 2 things about the ending make no sense.

Finally finished with this book. It could have been better. All the characters were unlikable and I didn‘t understand Robin‘s significance in this story, at first. Now I understand what her purpose in the story was. The story had a lot of twists, but parts of the book were boring to read. The best parts of the book were the middle and the end. The ending was ruined for me, though, because I read someone‘s spoiler on the internet. 😤😭😭

cemsreadingcorner Other than that, the book was okay. It definitely spooked me, which is great because of what time of year it is. 👍🏼👻🎃 (edited) 4mo

Finished Social Intercourse by Greg Howard. Now I‘m reading Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney. Great book so far. I‘m 73 pages in and I‘m enjoying every moment of it. It‘s about a couple who‘s having marital issues because the husband has a condition called Prosopagnosia, which means he can‘t recognize faces. So, the couple is struggling. The wife doesn‘t want to feel invisible anymore. They took a weekend trip to Scotland to save the marriage.

This was recommended to me and thrillers aren‘t my favorite genre. This one took a hot minute to get into but eventually I looked forward listening. I thought the twists were clever, but too far fetched or too many for one story?! Overall it was an okay read. #Pop23 ~a book about a holiday that‘s not Christmas (I‘m going out on a limb, using the British definition of holiday)

SamAnne I felt the same. 6mo

Three POVs and letters from the past was a lot to keep track of and Feeney overhyped at least one thing that she was trying to plant seeds for but enjoyable nonetheless

This book was crazy. Like every chapter ended with something vaguely ominous, it was kind of ridiculous but made me keep reading. I actually did NOT expect the twist and was like WHAT. I thought it was really clever how that panned out. This was a solid fun thriller ⭐️⭐️⭐️

For the last few months, I‘ve been adding a two page TBR to the beginning of each months spread, and I‘ve found that whenever I‘m not sure what to pick up next, I just start the next book on the list. I‘ve never finished a TBR, but I generally read about 40-50% of them. Many books have been on my TBR multiple months in a row, and are still unread 😂

Here‘s a look at my upcoming August TBR.💜

The kind of book that makes you want the weather to turn stormy and dark so you can hide away and read it. If you‘re looking for a smart well written thriller full of twists and surprises (and a dog) then this is for you. The face blindness condition is unique and interesting. @Cathythoughts tells me Brad Pitt has it

This was my second time listening to this audiobook. I think I loved it even more this time. This is an excellent book! There are many surprises along the way. Just when you think you know what‘s going on, surprise! It‘s not what you think. It‘s one of the best thrillers I‘ve ever read. It really keeps you on your toes.

4/5 ? This was my first Alice Feeney and I really enjoyed it ! The story kept me intrigued, not knowing how it would end. I do wish that it had more substance, more action. And there were too many cliché one-liners. Overall a good read though

What a wild book. So many twists and turns that will keep you intrigued and make it hard to put down. Some points started to become predicable once you figured out certain information. I wish the ending was a bit different? To be it seemed a little forced or totally unrealistic given all that has happened.

Main win: the dog wasn‘t harmed in any way.

The first half of the book was good, but then it just got too frustrating with too many twists and secrets. I liked this better than Sometimes I Lie but I don't think I'll be reading another Alice Feeney book.

I was able to finish the last hour of this audio shortly after this little dude joined the world! Ethan surprised us a week early so he didn't give me a chance to finish the book before!
An entertaining read that has a few twists and turns- it's funny though, I didn't really like any of the characters, none of them seemed particularly "good" or anyone I feel empathy towards.

I love Alice Feeney and I loved this book. This thriller about a couple trying to save their marriage at a remote chapel in the Scottish Highlands really packs a punch. I loved the plot devices of anniversary letters never shared, words of the year, and traditional anniversary gifts. The secrets and twists were shocking and the remote setting amped up the sense of foreboding. I love being creeped out by this woman. Keep it coming, Alice. 5⭐️

This has major “Misery“ and “Shining“ vibes. When a couple wins a winter-getaway, they soon discover it is not at all what they were expecting. As things slowly go awry, the couple begins to think someone has lured them here to fulfill a sinister plan.

An amazing read that has you hooked from the first page! It does pick up during the last 20% and speeds right along. If you want something that feels spooky but not scary, this one is for you!
