The Golden Couple: A Novel | 
so-soAn unorthodox therapist starts helping new clients, a couple who appear to be perfect but actually have many secrets. A love story gets intermixed and complicated, and mystery ensues. This book had promise, but the pacing was poor, I thought, and the characters just didn‘t grab me.
Finished my last book of 2023 for #lmpbc #wintergames #snowflakesquad #tbrread #pokemon #glastrier #arrogantcharacter #wintercosy #somethingnew #BINGO #childhoodcrush #BINGO #wgwordsearch

pickThis was a fun ride. An alternating account of a couple seeking help from a “rogue” therapist. While not my favorite dynamic it made for a good escape from the world keeping you guessing until the end. For me the ending was a little disappointing but I really liked the complexity of all the characters involved.
pickWell. That was unexpected.
This definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, especially the last third or so.
pickI didn't expect it to be this good, or to enjoy it as much as I did...despite a not so shocking twist the book was captivating
Book number 20 for the year. Behind on my reading goal this year but being a new momma will do that to you! 🩵👩🍼
panBook 2/3 for #awesomeapril
Avery is a therapist who lost her professional license. Still, it doesn‘t stop her from counseling those in crisis, though they have to adhere to her unorthodox methods.
+ the character, Avery
- too many unnecessary storylines/ characters that didn‘t go anywhere
Pretty good audiobook. It wasn't quite as twisty as “The Wife Between Us“ but there is a twist.
pickReally good story. I love the different viewpoints the story is told from and how the characters are interwoven and connected. Kept me wanting to know which direction the story was going to take. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
panI got half way through and put it down lol
Got boring to me.
pickLove this duo always and all of their books. This was another one that I could not put down. I actually did not guess the twist until I was right at the end which I loved and I thought this was so well written with how everything just came together and worked. I really thought the ending could not have been better than what it was. Loved this book!
pickFun read. Enough twists, turns and red herrings that even if you think you know the ending you can‘t really be sure.
pickMarissa and Matthew bishop appear to have the perfect life, until Marissa has an affair. Together, they go to recently unlicensed therapist, Avery. This thriller was so entertaining I was captivated through every twist and turn

Started this and finished it in one day! Such a fun read for a long 6 1/2 drive from AR to LA. I loved the characters and the subtle twist!

pickAnother enjoyable, twisty thriller from this writing duo. The whole way through I had the undercurrent thoughts that there was more to the story than what I was picking up. I liked all of the characters having their own secrets and how their secrets were slowly revealed to us, with some unexpected twists along the way that kept me interested in reading more. It‘s an enjoyable multi layered thriller.

I'm creating a new genre: Therapist Thrillers. If you don‘t read a lot of thrillers, this will be a great book that will entertain you. You might even give it five stars. But, if you are like me and read a ton of thrillers, I would call it a little predictable and lackluster. I still plowed through it and enjoyed the journey.
Not bad for a therapist thriller.
pickI don‘t read a lot of this genre, mainly because they tend to annoy me, but this one came for postal book club. I ended up listening instead, but I enjoyed this book. It‘s filled with the kind of characters I expected (rich, self-absorbed, hard to believe, and totally unlikable), but it‘s twisty and definitely kept me guessing. Just when I thought it was done throwing me curveballs, it threw a few more just for the hell of it. 😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I don't have a whole lot to say about this one, other than it was a pretty good read, and kept me guessing.
Starting this one! Who‘s read it?
I‘m loving these authors!! All 3 of these are great!

pickI have a few quibbles about this but they're minor and I was interested in the characters and plot from start to finish. Overall I enjoyed this story about a "rogue therapist" and a charmed couple whose marriage she is trying to save. It seemed like there were a lot of of excess characters, and even excess plot lines, but everything was tied up relatively neatly at the end.
The tagged is my favorite book by these authors!!

pick4th book read during #JubilantJuly Readathon @Andrew65 I liked this thriller? It has more elements of suspense and mystery. Hard to believe that a therapist with her licensed revoked can continue working as a “consultant” using her unique therapeutic model. But I still liked how the story was developed. All characters are unlikely but Avery has an interesting personality. Go blind to this story. Need to read more from these authors 3.8/4☺️
pickThis spectacular duo does it again with another captivating thriller! They have a way of exceeding my expectation each time in the end with a plot twist I never expect. I not only recommend this book but all four they have written together!
pickI always like this writing duo‘s thrillers! So a couple comes to an unlicensed therapist with unorthodox (but effective) methods to try to save their marriage. But as you might imagine, nothing is as it seems! I totally fell for everything the authors want you to fall for, and I loved it. A fast and satisfying read that I finished poolside with my family. 💗
Decided I wanted to go to B&N and do the BOGO 50% off… starting the Golden Couple now after picking it up at the sale. 😋 #jubilantjuly
so-soI was very underwhelmed by this one. It had a lot of potential to be a really good story but there was no time I was really interested/concerned about the couple. I loved Avery‘s story and her practice methods but we didn‘t really get to see most of them play out because everything came out pretty quickly and easily. None of the twist or events were really attention grabbing the end and even that worked itself out pretty quickly.
pickReally quality domestic thriller. Pekkanen/Hendricks take on “psycho” therapists once again, this time couples therapy.
Matthew &Marissa‘s marriage is upended after an infidelity. They see a therapist -well, she was recently stripped of her license-who uses unconventional methods. She suspects there is more than 1 secret in her clients‘ marriage,& she has some of her own.I wondered how it was going to make sense, by Part 3 my jaw was dropped.
🥀
1/2 way through and I‘m enjoying this more than the other 2 I‘ve read by them. I have no idea what‘s going to happen 😂
pickBook #38 of 2022, fast paced thriller. Never knew what was going to happen next. One of my top five reads so far this year!
🌟 The Golden Couple, The House in the Cerulean Sea are the only two that come to mind
