Welcome to Litsy!

The interpersonal drama of this story is intricate and interesting, but the execution is plodding, and it takes way too long for the story to unfold. And while I know there wouldn't have been any plot (and it wouldn't have been realistic) if the characters had been emotionally mature, well-adjusted people, I just felt annoyed at them. Throughout the novel, I'm like, "Dude, just TALK to each other!"

Enjoying a wee beverage and some reading before heading out for a Saturday evening with my spouse.

The idea is clever and well thought out, but it‘s a bit disjointed and not the easiest to follow. The ending was weird too. I don‘t think it tied up the loose ends well.

First I have read by this writing duo. Will be looking at their other works.

While the characters in this book make stupid decisions that really could‘ve been avoided by properly communicating with one another, the pacing and the twists really pick up in the second half all the way to the end.

Girl Unknown took my emotions through the ringer. I can't remember the last time I have been annoyed with every character in a book. But with saying that I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. The characters were very well-written. Even though I disagreed with a lot of decisions that were made by the characters - I was able to understand why they were doing it. Sometimes hurt lasts longer than when we say all is forgiven.

Starting this one after work tonight 🤓

Very good psychological thriller with a surprise ending I didn't see coming!!!!

Ahhh I love a good domestic suspense thriller. This story is told (mostly) in two POVs: David and Caroline, the husband and wife. The authors (a duo!) did a superb job of writing an already-fractured marriage that spiraled even further when Zoe came into the picture - Zoe, the daughter from a past relationship that ended before the marriage. The tension and distrust between everyone drives the plot and suspense. I couldn‘t have predicted that end.

Girl Unknown is a light thriller/family drama that has a Lifetime movie vibe. It's narrated by husband & wife, Caroline & David. David is confronted by his student Zoe who claims that he is her father. As a result, Zoe becomes more & more involved in their family life, conflict ensues & questions of trust arise.

My issue with the story is that the 1st half of the book is very slow & ultimately I could not connect with any of the characters.

My TBR Pile! So many good reads! Now I need to find the time. Anybody read any of these? Otherwise, if you are looking for a book go check these out! ❄️📚

I had to wake up a 3am this morning to take my roommate to her surgical appointment & now I am waiting in the OR waiting room and I absolutely cannot focus on this book. 😪 #Exhausted

Today's #bookmail has a Tana French blurb so you better believe I'm reading it.

Look what I won from Goodreads! Girl Unknown by Karen Perry! This will have to be my first book of February since I'm trying to read as many Kindle Unlimited books as possible during my free trial!

New reading buddy 🐶

Loved this look inside a rocky marriage. When David‘s college student confronts him claiming to be his daughter from a previous relationship, all hell breaks loose in his marriage and family. Told from both David and his wife, Caroline‘s point of view, we get insights into what deceptions and secrets can do to wreak havoc. And is Zoe really who she says she is? Nice twists also. Thanks to NetGalley.😍😍😍😍😍

Excellent believable writing by the authors, very teasing with a tense build up. The story had enjoyable characters who often left me frustrated. I badly wanted to know the ending and was not disappointed.

Zoe's arrival into David's word slowly unravelled his world and the people in it. The plot was good and the tapestry of the plot slowly worked its magic. I did find the book a bit slow in parts but overall an enjoyable read
